Tunisia regulates money laundering and terrorist financing through Organic Law 2015-26. Supervision sits with the Central Bank of Tunisia for banks and other credit institutions, the Conseil du Marché Financier for the securities sector, and the Comité Général des Assurances for insurers, while the Commission Tunisienne des Analyses Financières is the financial intelligence unit that receives and analyses suspicious transaction declarations.
Regulated entities must apply customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, monitor relationships, and report suspicious activity to the CTAF, alongside supervision from their sector supervisor. 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.
