Protecting the financial system from money laundering and terrorist financing
Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism — working to make the fight against financial crime stronger, faster and more joined-up.
What we do
We contribute to a safer and more resilient financial system by supporting supervision, intelligence-sharing and capacity building across the sector.
Supervision & oversight
Promoting high standards of compliance and risk-based supervision across obliged entities and financial institutions.
Intelligence & analysis
Turning financial intelligence into actionable insight to detect, disrupt and prevent money laundering networks.
Cooperation
Bringing together public authorities and private partners across borders to close gaps exploited by criminals.
Capacity building
Training, guidance and support to help organisations meet their AML/CFT obligations with confidence.
Policy & guidance
Drafting and issuing policies, guidelines and regulatory frameworks that set clear AML/CFT standards for the sector.
Research & innovation
Exploring emerging financial crime trends, new technologies and data-driven methods to stay ahead of criminals.
Risk-based supervision
Money launderers exploit the weakest link. That is why our supervisory approach focuses resources where risk is highest — banks, payment institutions, virtual-asset service providers and other obliged entities handling the greatest exposure.
- Common risk-assessment methodology shared across the sector
- On-site and off-site supervisory reviews with clear follow-up
- Thematic work on emerging threats, from crypto flows to trade-based laundering
Building compliance capability
Strong defences start with knowledgeable people. Our training and guidance programmes help compliance officers, reporting entities and new entrants put effective AML/CFT controls in place — and keep them effective as threats evolve.
- Certified workshops for compliance officers and MLROs
- Practical guidance on customer due diligence and suspicious transaction reporting
- Peer networks that connect supervisors and industry practitioners
