As part of National Child Protection Week, AUSTRAC is reminding financial services providers of the critical role they play in detecting child sexual exploitation for financial gain.
AUSTRAC collects and analyses suspicious matter reports shared by financial service providers, like banks, remitters, digital currency exchanges and payment platforms, and these reports form the basis of financial intelligence used to detect transactions linked to for-profit child abuse.
