International Journal of Financial Innovation in Banking (IJFIB), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2022

Abstract: The digitisation of the economy today represents a trend that affects the entire economy and society. With the current health crisis caused by COVID-19, the process has accelerated dramatically. This growth raises natural concerns among supervisors. In this article, we describe this growth and analyse the response of entities responsible for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism at the international level and in Portugal. Fintech is an unavoidable reality that brings benefits to society. The risks of its illicit use can only be tackled with new technologies in partnership with the private sector where new companies regularly emerge with new innovative solutions.
