Which payment method for purchasing luxury items is a red flag for potential money laundering?

APersonal loan

BCash

CWire transfer

DCredit card

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

According to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the use of large amounts of cash is a common method for money launderers to move illicit funds [1]. Purchasing luxury items with cash can indicate an attempt to convert illegal funds into tangible assets that can be easily resold or moved across borders. As a result, businesses that deal with luxury items are required to implement enhanced due diligence measures, including monitoring transactions involving large amounts of cash [1].
