Overview

AML/CTF compliance in San Marino.

San Marino regulates AML/CTF through the Financial Intelligence Agency, which acts as the country's financial intelligence unit and supervisor under Law No. 92 of 17 June 2008. As a MONEYVAL member, San Marino builds its regime to align with the FATF international standards.

Obliged parties must run customer due diligence on customers and beneficial owners, keep records, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to the Financial Intelligence Agency. Supervisors expect a documented compliance framework, a named responsible officer, and continual staff training.
