Method for the prevention of money laundering attacks

摘要

The method involves determining an amount to be paid in connection with a payment operation by a control unit (17) of a payment device (1). Another amount is paid by a user at a coin insertion unit (13) and a bank note insertion unit (14) of the payment device by delivering cash. The latter paid amount is detected by the control unit, and the former payable amount and the paid latter amount are evaluated by the control device with reference to a monitoring criterion. A money laundering attack is inferred based on the evaluation, and a countermeasure is initiated by the control unit.
