Overview
AML/CTF compliance in Guinea.
Guinea regulates money laundering and terrorist financing through Law L/2021/024/AN of 17 August 2021, supported by CENTIF-Guinée, which receives and analyses suspicious transaction reports.
Regulated entities must apply customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, monitor relationships, and report suspicious activity to CENTIF, alongside supervision from the Banque Centrale de la République de Guinée.
