FFIS Survey Report
Nick J Maxwell, August 2020
A FFIS survey reveals international growth of public–private financial information-sharing partnerships to tackle financial crime, from 2015 to 2020, and describes recent activity directed against COVID-19 crime threats.
This paper is the result of an international survey of public–private financial information sharing partnerships to disrupt crime, which took place between April and June 2020.
The report provides descriptive summaries of 23 national and trans-national financial information-sharing partnerships and provides new insights into the impact of such partnerships in tackling financial crime; including their role in responding to COVID-19.

'The Role of Financial Information-Sharing Partnerships (FISPs) in the Disruption OF Crime'
RUSI Occasional Paper
Nick J Maxwell and David Artingstall, Oct 2017
The volume of suspicious transaction reports submitted by banks and others across key financial centres is growing at 11% per year, with over 2.6 million reports expected to be filed in the UK and the United States in 2017. However, the study finds that between 80% to 90% of this suspicious reporting is not useful to active law enforcement investigations.
Responding to these challenges, this report examines the emergence of new information-sharing partnerships between financial institutions and law enforcement agencies, set up in a small number of countries, which allow public and private institutions to share insights on terrorist and serious crime threats.
