ABSTRACT
As financial transactions increasingly migrate to the digital realm, the challenge of preventing money laundering has become complex (Ramada, 2022). The research presented in this paper explores innovative approaches to combating money laundering in the digital age, focusing on the application of graph databases as a powerful tool for effective solutions. The study deep dives into the capabilities of graph databases in modeling intricate relationships within financial networks, conducting network analysis, and detecting anomalies in transaction patterns. By leveraging these capabilities, financial institutions can enhance customer due diligence, monitor transactions in real-time, and visualize complex networks to uncover hidden connections indicative of money laundering activities. The paper contains examination of case studies, regulatory compliance considerations, and the integration of graph databases into existing anti-money laundering frameworks. Ultimately, objective of this research has been to contribute to the evolving landscape of money laundering prevention strategies by highlighting the potential of graph databases as a key technology in the digital age.
