Q2 2026 FinCrime Landscape Report | ANZ

Financial crime across Australia and New Zealand is becoming harder to detect as illicit activity increasingly blends into ordinary financial behaviour and moves across fragmented digital and cross-border financial channels.

This report focuses on two key themes shaping the ANZ financial crime landscape in Q2 2026: online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC)-related financial flows and cross-border transaction laundering. These typologies exploit low-value remittances, digital banks, e-wallets, payment gateways, shell corporations, correspondent banking relationships, and fraudulent non-profit organisations to disguise the movement and origin of illicit funds.

Inside the report, you will find practical scenarios, transaction-level red flags, KYC/CDD indicators, and recommendations to help financial institutions identify behavioural patterns, strengthen due diligence, improve cross-border monitoring, and move beyond isolated rule-based alerts towards connected, pattern-based intelligence.
