Understanding Money Muling

Money muling is a growing tactic used by organised criminal networks to move and conceal illegally obtained funds. Often, individuals are deceived into transferring money through their personal bank accounts — sometimes in exchange for a commission, or simply out of trust — without realising they are facilitating serious financial crime.

In this awareness video, Madeline Lewis, Financial Crime Analyst (BSc Security & Crime Science), explains how money muling schemes operate, why they pose significant risks to individuals and institutions, and how awareness is the first line of defence.

By understanding the warning signs and learning how to respond, individuals can help prevent financial exploitation and support the wider effort to combat economic crime.
