The Isle of Man regulates AML/CTF through the Financial Services Authority and the Gambling Supervision Commission under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2008. See the obligations and how MemberCheck supports them.
Last updated
AML/CTF supervision in the Isle of Man sits with the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority, which supervises licensed financial services firms and registered designated businesses under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Code 2019, and with the Gambling Supervision Commission for the gambling sector. The Isle of Man Financial Intelligence Unit, established under the Financial Intelligence Unit Act 2016, is a separate body that receives and analyses suspicious activity reports. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2008 is the jurisdiction's principal statute, and as a Crown Dependency the Isle of Man is assessed by MONEYVAL.
Relevant businesses must have appropriate procedures and controls, conduct business, customer, and technology risk analysis, and perform customer due diligence and regular monitoring. Supervisors expect a named money laundering reporting officer, clear reporting processes, and proper record-keeping of disclosures.
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.
