Loyalty program operators, often unwittingly, can facilitate money laundering when:

  • Large amounts of points are acquired without adequate transaction monitoring or thresholds.
  • Rewards are redeemable for near-cash value, bypassing traditional financial controls.

These gaps make it harder for financial institutions to identify and investigate suspicious fund flows attributed to loyalty programs.
