The Solomon Islands regulate money laundering and terrorist financing through the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act, supported by their Financial Intelligence Unit, which receives and analyses suspicious transaction reports.
Regulated entities must apply customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, monitor relationships, and report suspicious activity to the FIU, which is also the body that supervises them for AML/CTF compliance. 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.
