AICB’s Compliance Officers’ Networking Group (CONG) recently held a bilateral engagement with the Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), with the participation of Bank Negara Malaysia.

The session provided a valuable platform for information sharing and the exchange of insights on evolving financial crime trends and challenges.

As financial crime continues to grow in complexity, closer collaboration between PDRM, Bank Negara Malaysia and the banking industry is essential to strengthen prevention and detection efforts, support investigations and enhance the resilience of the financial ecosystem.

CONG remains committed to supporting continued collaboration between the industry and enforcement agencies towards a safer and more resilient financial sector.
