Lesson Overview

9.8 – Recognizing Structuring and Smurfing Tactics: Structuring, or “smurfing,” involves breaking large transactions into smaller amounts to evade reporting thresholds. It’s a common tactic used to disguise illicit money movement. Employees must spot patterns such as frequent deposits just under the $10,000 limit, multiple accounts under one name, or repeated same-day transactions. Technology assists detection, but awareness and human intuition are critical. Training helps teams differentiate legitimate business patterns from deliberate evasion. Documenting red flags accurately supports investigations and regulatory action. Structuring undermines the purpose of AML laws and erodes trust in financial systems. Vigilance prevents institutions from becoming unwilling participants in laundering schemes. Recognizing smurfing is about connecting subtle clues across accounts and time. When employees understand these tactics, they reinforce compliance as both a legal safeguard and an ethical responsibility that protects everyone from criminal exploitation.
