Building on the foundation and expertise of Commercial Crime Services, the FIB accurately meets the needs of today’s financial institutions and government regulators.

FIB is a direct response to the globalisation and increased sophistication of financial instrument crime used by organised criminal elements to commit money laundering, major fraud and terrorism financing.

FIB is structured to offer a perspective member complete flexibility according to their individual needs. For example a bank may require a specialised service in support of their due diligence operations while a government regulator, such as a Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), may need the services of the FIB in another capacity.
