Key players (ICBC, HSBC, Citibank) and emerging corridors (India-UAE, China-Africa).
Regulatory frameworks (Basel III, FATF, OFAC sanctions).
Risks (AML failures, currency mismatches, sanctions evasion).
Innovations (blockchain, CBDCs, AI-driven compliance).
Using BIS data, case studies (Deutsche Bank fines), and regulator interviews, the study provides strategies for balancing global operations with local compliance.
Map a bank’s cross-border network (e.g., HSBC’s Asia-Europe flows).
Analyze a recent AML fine (e.g., Westpac’s $1.3B penalty).
Design a blockchain-based correspondent banking prototype.
Analyse: Will CBDCs replace correspondent banking?
