What Transaction Laundering Really Looks Like

It can be difficult to know if you are a victim of transaction laundering without having a clear understanding of the threat itself and its significant impact on eCommerce.

Transaction laundering is a complicated problem and opens the door to a multitude of criminal activity. In many cases, the acquirers and processors who fall victim to transaction laundering are completely unprepared for the oncoming threat. Not only does transaction laundering lead to fraud, but it is also ripe with other brand damaging activities.

It is a crime sustained by multiple points of entry and a growing number of payment channels available for transactions to take place through. Laundered transactions can come through payment pages, shopping carts and virtual terminals, sometimes even being processed through a page a merchant is completely unaware even exists.

Transaction laundering activities are in violation of merchant agreements with acquirers, can allow prohibited goods and services to be processed on legitimate payment systems, and disobeys anti-money-laundering (AML) laws.

But the real challenge in combating transaction laundering lies in identifying and separating laundered transactions from legitimate transactions.
