The paper aims to develop effective ways to combat financial crimes in Ukraine. With the help of a systematic analysis of financial crime modern indicators, theoretical sources, prac-tical measures and international experience, the main indicators of financial crimes are identified. Such indicators are the use of false documents and other people's accounts, international payment systems; frequent and complex financial transactions of a confusing nature; unusual for a client amounts and counterparties of the transaction; incomplete or missing payment information.
