EU AMLR & AMLA: What Actually Changes for Compliance Teams in 2027

The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) will become directly applicable across all Member States in mid-2027, replacing national rulebooks with a single harmonized set of AML/CFT obligations. The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will also launch, directly supervising up to 40 high-risk institutions and coordinating indirect supervision for others.

FinCEN Beneficial Ownership: Where the CTA Stands in 2026

Since January 1, 2024, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) has undergone changes, clarifying beneficial ownership reporting for companies in the US. Now, domestic reporting companies are exempt, while foreign entities registered in the US must still report their beneficial owners. Financial institutions continue to rely on Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) for Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and are advised to maintain independent BO collection and re-test nested-entity logic. This comes against a global trend where the EU's AMLR tightens BO definitions and the UK's ECCTA operationalizes identity-verified ownership.

The FATF Travel Rule in 2026: What Actually Changed

FATF has revised Recommendation 16 in 2026, closing loopholes in virtual asset transfers, including sub-threshold structuring, unhosted-wallet ambiguity, and inconsistent counterparty due diligence. The new regulations, combined with other rules from the EU and US, mandate full originator and beneficiary information for all crypto transfers between CASPs, regardless of value. Companies need to maintain a VASP counterparty register, implement risk-based controls for self-hosted wallets, and establish fallback procedures for situations where Travel Rule data cannot be received.
