Fiji regulates AML/CTF through the Fiji Financial Intelligence Unit under the Financial Transactions Reporting Act. See the obligations and how MemberCheck supports them.
Last updated
Fiji regulates money laundering and terrorist financing through the Financial Transactions Reporting Act and the Proceeds of Crime Act. The Act makes the Fiji Financial Intelligence Unit and the Reserve Bank of Fiji jointly responsible for supervising financial institutions, and the FFIU is also the country's financial intelligence unit, receiving and analysing suspicious transaction reports.
Regulated entities must apply customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, monitor relationships, and report suspicious activity to the FFIU, alongside supervision from the Reserve Bank of Fiji. Supervisors expect a designated compliance officer, sound internal controls, and staff training.
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.
