Cambodia regulates AML/CTF through CAFIU and the National Bank of Cambodia. See the obligations and how MemberCheck supports them.
Last updated
Cambodia combats money laundering and terrorism financing through the Cambodia Financial Intelligence Unit (CAFIU), established within the National Bank of Cambodia as the country's financial intelligence unit, working alongside the central bank that supervises reporting entities.
Financial institutions and other reporting entities must run customer due diligence, keep records, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to CAFIU. Supervisors expect a documented compliance framework, a named responsible officer, and continual staff training. The framework rests on the Law on AML/CFT of 2007, strengthened by amendments in 2020, and Cambodia aligns its regime with the FATF Recommendations as an APG member.
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.
