Regulation

AML and identity controls in payment and e-money institutions

The control processes of payment and e-money institutions are determined by scope of activity and the applicable regulations.

The control processes of payment and e-money institutions are determined by scope of activity and the applicable regulations. Name screening or video identification alone does not satisfy every obligation.

Customer onboarding

Determine which identity steps are required according to the institution and the process. Do not infer a video call requirement automatically from another sector's regulation.

Sanctions and risk assessment

Examine the identity accuracy and the risk context of a name match separately. Do not present a threshold or closure rule as a universal product default.

Ongoing process and records

Manage reassessment, record-keeping and reporting processes with the institution's procedures. If transaction monitoring or automatic reporting is not in the product scope, do not describe it as part of the screening feature.
