Money laundering is a process that hides the origin of money obtained through illegal activities (drug trafficking, corruption, embezzlement, gambling, etc.) and creates a legal origin instead. Money obtained through criminal activities is dirty money. The duties of banks and financial and credit institutions in fighting the crime of money laundering briefly include documenting the flow of funds and making them traceable, reporting suspicious transactions, collecting and processing information, maintaining documents and records, internal information exchange, and information exchange with other countries. Given the importance of this issue and the necessity of fighting it, in the present article, we intend to address the foundations and principles of banks and financial and credit institutions' fight against money laundering in Iran. The research method is analytical-descriptive, and the tool for collecting information and data is note-taking.
