Guernsey regulates AML/CTF through its Financial Intelligence Unit, which receives and analyses suspicious activity reports, and the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, which supervises financial services businesses. The Criminal Justice (Proceeds of Crime) (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1999 is the foundation of the framework, and the Guernsey FIU is established under the Economic and Financial Crime Bureau and Financial Intelligence Unit (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2022.
Relevant businesses must assess their risk, apply customer due diligence on customers and beneficial owners, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to the Guernsey FIU. Supervisors expect a money laundering reporting officer, internal controls, sound record-keeping, and ongoing 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.
