Q1 2026 FinCrime Landscape Report | ANZ

Financial crime across Australia and New Zealand is becoming harder to detect, not because it is always hidden in complex structures, but because it is often embedded within ordinary financial behaviour.

This report focuses on two key themes shaping the ANZ financial crime landscape in Q1 2026: romance scams and elder financial abuse. Both typologies exploit trust, unfold gradually, and move funds through digital banks, e-wallets, instant payments, merchant channels, and traditional banking products.

Inside the report, you will find practical scenarios, transaction-level red flags, KYC/CDD indicators, and recommendations to help financial institutions strengthen detection, protect vulnerable customers, and move beyond rule-based monitoring towards connected, pattern-based intelligence.
