Mission Statement
Our mission
The We Fight Fincrime Association exists to unite professionals across sectors, industries, and jurisdictions to prevent financial crime more effectively.
A specialist trade association for the anti-financial crime community.
Financial crime continues to grow in scale, sophistication, and reach. From fraud and money laundering to cyber-enabled crime and corruption, these threats no longer sit neatly within individual organisations, sectors, or borders.
The We Fight Fincrime Association brings together MLROs, Heads of Compliance, Risk Leaders, Heads of Fraud, FIU and Investigations leads, policymakers, law enforcement, and trusted industry partners into a single, credible community. Our focus is simple: collaboration that works in practice, not just in theory.
Features and Benefits
Identify your Vulnerabilities
Criminals exploit gaps between systems, sectors, and jurisdictions. By sharing intelligence, experience, and lessons learned, our members gain a clearer understanding of emerging risks and where vulnerabilities truly lie.
Protect organisations and stakeholders
Through peer-led discussion, training, and collective insight, members are better equipped to strengthen controls, improve decision-making, and protect customers, institutions, and the wider financial system.
Partner in collective action
No single firm or function can tackle financial crime alone. The Association provides a neutral, trusted platform where professionals can collaborate across disciplines to address polycriminality more effectively.
Our Approach / Community Value
A community built by practitioners, for practitioners
Our approach is grounded in real-world experience. We create safe, practitioner-led environments where members can speak openly, challenge assumptions, and learn from peers under Chatham House rules.
By connecting people across banking, payments, crypto, retail, professional services, and the public sector, we ensure knowledge flows freely, solutions are shared, and no one is left tackling these challenges in isolation.
