Money laundering is used by criminals to conceal money made through criminal activity. As a global financial centre the UK is often seen as an attractive destination for criminals to invest the proceeds of their crime.

This guidance explains how the Home Office and the Treasury work to implement an effective anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism policy in the UK.
