AML Certificate

AML Certificate 2025: Submission period will open May 2026

The AML Certificate is a crucial tool in our statutory obligation to deploy a risk-based approach to our AML supervision. The certificate is an annual questionnaire about your products, services, clients and the way in which you deliver your services.

  • The 2025 AML Certificate submission period will open in May 2026.
  • It is compulsory for all practices in scope of the 2017 Money Laundering Regulations to submit a 2025 AML Certificate.
  • The relevant period of business will  be 01 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.

AML Certificate streamlined for 2026

The upcoming submission process has been significantly streamlined compared to previous years. Full details of the revised certificate will be published in early 2026.
