Overview
AML/CTF compliance in Jersey.
Jersey regulates AML/CTF through its Financial Intelligence Unit, which receives and analyses suspicious activity reports, and the Jersey Financial Services Commission, which supervises financial services businesses. The Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999 and the Money Laundering (Jersey) Order 2008 form the core of the framework.
Relevant persons must assess their risk, apply customer due diligence on customers and beneficial owners, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to the Jersey 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.
