HOW TO KEEP-UP WITH THE NEW AML REGULATION?

The nature of money laundering has become more complex with the globalization of markets and advances in technology. Regulations have been tightened and with the 5^th AML directive on its way, this should be transposed in EU Member States by January 2020, you need a clear view on this new framework.

So, what will this new AML framework bring? The main raison why the existing 4^th AML directive was upgraded, was due to a collective EU leaders call for more effort, following the wave of terrorist attacks. And the popularity of online payment systems, cryptocurrencies and digital platforms has posed the challenge of the rise of micro cyber laundering mechanisms.
So, let’s hear all about how you can update your regulatory framework from a compliance expert and how technology can provide your efficient and tailor-made solutions to remain compliant with this upgraded regulation.
