Europol has issued its 2023 assessment of the risks of financial and economic crime.

We have raised this issue to the trade body for the sector most actively using Virtual IBANs – Project Financial Crime of The Payments Association – and to the Financial Conduct Authority. No response so far from either organization, of course.
