Frequently Asked Questions on Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Sanctions Regulations
What is the role of AMLA in European anti-money laundering enforcement?
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), headquartered in Frankfurt, directly supervises the highest-risk cross-border financial entities, coordinates national Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), and harmonises AML/CFT supervision across Member States.
How does the AML Single Rulebook Regulation (AMLR) differ from AMLD6?
The AMLR is a directly applicable EU regulation establishing uniform Customer Due Diligence (CDD), beneficial ownership, and suspicious transaction reporting obligations across all Member States without transposition. AMLD6 is a directive setting the institutional supervision framework, national FIU powers, and public-private partnership rules that Member States must transpose into national law.
How does the Transfer of Funds Regulation 'travel rule' apply to crypto-asset transfers?
Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 extends the FATF travel rule to all crypto-asset transfers, requiring crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) to collect, hold, and transmit originator and beneficiary information for every transfer regardless of amount, eliminating the de minimis threshold that applies to traditional wire transfers.
