Gibraltar regulates AML/CTF through the Gibraltar Financial Intelligence Unit, which gathers and analyses intelligence on money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2015 is the principal statute and designates supervisory bodies including the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
Obliged entities must carry out customer due diligence covering beneficial owners, determine politically exposed person status, conduct ongoing monitoring, keep records, run risk assessments, maintain risk-sensitive controls, and train employees. Suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing must be reported to the GFIU.
MemberCheck helps teams meet these obligations by screening customers and entities against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media data, verifying identities, and monitoring risk continuously, with a clear audit trail behind every decision.
