Question 103/159
Unusual wire transfer transactions can include: (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,B
Unusual wire transfer transactions may include transfers in different currencies between accounts at different banks for the same client, which can be used to obscure fund flows, and incoming third-party transfers followed by real estate purchases, which may indicate layering and integration stages of money laundering. These patterns deviate from typical financial behavior and warrant closer scrutiny.
