The most common techniques used to launder money from drug sales are financial structures, false invoicing, front companies and shell companies, cryptocurrency exchanges, international wire transfers and exotic asset investments. These methods allow illicit funds to appear legal by paper trail alone. To avoid these money laundering techniques, the sale of drugs should be done in cash transactions whenever possible and strict customer due diligence measures should be taken in banking systems such as Know Your Customer procedures.

The most common methods used to launder money from drug sales are funneling through fake businesses, bulk cash deposits, and overseas wires. These techniques can be avoided by performing due diligence on customers and using alternative payment options like electronic payment processors or check verification services. Transactions should also be recorded and monitored to detect suspicious activity, as well as making sure that there are adequate customer identification policies in place to detect potential money laundering activities.
