Criminals are exploiting informal money transfer services in the UK to launder an estimated ￡2 billion annually, concealing the proceeds of serious organised crime that harms communities.
HMRC is urging businesses that offer these services - which help diaspora communities send money to relatives abroad - to register for anti-money laundering supervision to protect themselves from criminal exploitation.
Hawala is one of the most common types of these services. It lets people send money abroad without cash physically crossing borders. Instead, operators (Hawaladars) use an informal trust-based network to ensure the money reaches family members in countries where regular banking is limited.
All businesses providing these services must register with HMRC to operate legally. Registering helps ensure they have proper controls to stop criminals exploiting their services.
Businesses can protect themselves by finding out more and registering for anti-money laundering supervision on GOV.UK.
Louise McDonald, HMRC's Deputy Director for Economic Crime, said:
"Informal money transfer networks, like Hawala, enable people to support family members in parts of the world where conventional banking is limited. These are vital services that we want to protect from criminal exploitation.
"When criminals launder money through these networks, it funds serious organised crime that directly harms the very communities these services support.
"By registering with HMRC, businesses can safeguard their services, protect their communities and operate within the law."
Businesses that fail to register risk civil penalties, criminal prosecution and closure.
HMRC has launched a campaign running until the end of this month, using community radio broadcasts, digital advertising and local outreach to help operators understand their legal obligations.
The campaign follows joint visits by HMRC and the National Crime Agency (NCA) to more than 40 premises last month, helping Hawaladars understand their legal responsibilities.
