Recognizing the people who protect our financial system.
What is National Financial Crime Fighter Day?
October 26 is National Financial Crime Fighter Day—a day set aside to celebrate the people who protect the United States financial industry from illegal and terrorist activity. These people include law enforcement officers and other government personnel who work in the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) divisions.
Why their work matters
These professionals help stop drug cartel money from returning to its country of origin, prevent human traffickers from financing their operations and uncover movements that preclude terrorists from funding their activities. Such a job comes with large amounts of stress, low tolerance for errors and little recognition.
A day of appreciation
October 26th is a day to recognize and show appreciation for the BSA and AML professionals. This day was founded by Abrigo (a leading enterprise risk management solution) in 2018. Abrigo knows how hard these professionals work daily and worked hard to get them the national acknowledgement and appreciation they deserve since they are viewed as the true superheroes of the financial industry.
