The term "dirty money laundering" was first used in the 1920s and 1930s. In those years, a number of American criminals wanted to convert the money that they have made through illegal means into legal money. Starting from those years, several methods have been used to prevent dirty money laundering in a number of countries. After the legislation name "Law on Combating Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism" came into force in Azerbaijan in 2009, the Financial Monitoring Service under the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) achieved key successes on money laundering and terrorism financing. In most banks, regulations on anti-money laundering and terrorism financing have been approved.
