A recent survey by Switzerland's financial regulator, FINMA, revealed that 42% of Swiss financial firms lack a dedicated digital fraud policy, highlighting significant gaps in governance and anti-money laundering controls. The guidance indicates a rise in digital fraud cases, exacerbated by advancements in AI and deepfake technology. The findings suggest that many institutions are not adequately prepared to combat these threats, with varying effectiveness in their anti-money laundering measures. FINMA emphasizes the need for institutions to enhance their fraud detection and response capabilities, particularly in light of increasing online banking and trading activities.
