The Australian Financial Crimes Exchange Ltd (AFCX) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation founded by the big four banks, and supported by the Commonwealth Department of Home Affairs. The AFCX brings together businesses, government, law enforcement agencies and industry groups to protect Australian consumers and businesses from financial and cyber crime by providing leading security capabilities, technology and intelligence in one central platform. By sharing information, analytic capability, and evidence-based insights, AFCX members create a powerhouse of financial and cyber crime intelligence that takes the fight beyond simply policing transactions and investigating irregularities. Working outside traditional silos creates the ability to identify criminal trends, activity and networks that operate across different businesses. Cooperating with similar organisations overseas also allows the AFCX to identify criminal activity and networks that operate across international boundaries.
