Last updated
Uzbekistan sets its AML/CTF requirements through the Law on Combating Legalisation of Proceeds from Crime, Financing of Terrorism and Financing of Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, supervised by the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan for banks and other credit institutions and by the National Agency of Perspective Projects for capital markets, insurance and crypto-asset services, with the Department on Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General's Office acting separately as the national financial intelligence unit. As a member of the Eurasian Group, Uzbekistan works toward the FATF Recommendations that shape expectations for reporting entities.
Financial institutions and other reporting entities must run customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners, keep records, monitor transactions, and report suspicious activity to the financial intelligence unit. Supervisors expect documented risk assessments and continual 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.
