First detailed rules due from AMLA
AMLA must submit the first draft RTS/ITS to the European Commission and issue the first guidelines — the operational detail behind customer checks, reporting, and internal controls.
AMLR applies · AMLD6 transposition deadline
The Single Rulebook becomes directly applicable to obliged entities; Member States must have transposed AMLD6.
AMLA direct supervision begins
First selection round of high-risk cross-border obliged entities for direct AMLA supervision.
Football sector in scope
Professional football clubs and agents become obliged entities under the AMLR.
The information obliged entities must collect and verify for standard, simplified and enhanced CDD, including sectoral adjustments.
Why it matters: The operational core of the Single Rulebook — defines what every onboarding and KYC file must contain across the EU.
Harmonised methodology for supervisors to assess and classify the inherent and residual ML/TF risk profile of obliged entities.
Why it matters: Determines how intensively your firm will be supervised — the same scoring logic will apply in every Member State.
Methodology and risk criteria for selecting the high-risk, cross-border credit and financial institutions that AMLA will supervise directly.
Why it matters: Decides which ~40 groups move from national supervision to direct AMLA supervision from 2028.
Indicators for classifying the gravity of breaches and criteria for setting the level of administrative fines and periodic penalty payments.
Why it matters: Establishes a common EU enforcement yardstick — breaches will be priced the same way everywhere.
Elements obliged entities should take into account — nature of business, risks, complexity and size — when deciding the extent of their internal policies, procedures and controls.
Minimum requirements for the content of the business-wide risk assessment and the additional information sources to take into account when carrying it out.
Why it matters: Your BWRA will be measured against this baseline from July 2027.
Minimum requirements for group-wide AML/CFT policies, including minimum standards for information sharing within the group.
Additional measures groups must take where third-country law prevents branches or subsidiaries from applying group-wide AML/CFT requirements.
Criteria for identifying business relationships, occasional and linked transactions, and lower thresholds where simplified or enhanced CDD applies.
Risk variables and risk factors obliged entities must weigh when entering business relationships or carrying out occasional transactions.
Why it matters: Successor to the EBA risk factors guidelines — your customer risk model will need to map to this taxonomy.
Expectations for ongoing monitoring of business relationships and of the transactions carried out within them.
The format to be used for reporting suspicions and providing transaction records to FIUs.
Why it matters: STR/SAR workflows and transaction-monitoring outputs must produce this harmonised format.
Format and procedures for FIUs and AMLA to report to the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) under AMLR Art. 81 and AMLAR Art. 41.
Standardised format and technical means for exchanges of information between financial intelligence units.
Framework for cooperation between home and host supervisors of obliged entities operating on a cross-border basis.
Technical standards on cooperation between AMLA and national supervisors when AMLA exercises direct supervision.
Establishment and governance of outsourcing relationships (including sub-outsourcing) and procedures for monitoring their implementation.
Joint guidelines with the EBA on measures credit and financial institutions may take to comply with AML/CFT rules when implementing the Payment Accounts Directive (2014/92/EU).
Why it matters: Addresses de-risking — balancing financial inclusion against AML obligations.
ML/TF risks, trends and methods involving geographical areas outside the Union to which obliged entities are exposed.
Measures for credit institutions, financial institutions and TCSPs to establish whether a customer holds total assets of at least EUR 50 million.
Criteria and elements crypto-asset service providers must take into account when assessing correspondent relationships and the corresponding risk-mitigating measures.
Mitigating measures for transfers from or to self-hosted addresses, including identification and verification of the originator or beneficiary.
Why it matters: Directly shapes CASP wallet-screening and travel-rule operations.
Criteria for identifying close associates and the level of risk associated with particular categories of PEPs, family members and close associates.
Acceptable conditions for relying on CDD information collected by another obliged entity — including remote CDD — and the roles and responsibilities involved.
Indicators of suspicious activity or behaviours, to be periodically updated.
Why it matters: A living reference for transaction-monitoring scenario design and SAR decision-making.
