Understanding AML/CTF for Money Remittance Providers
Money Remittance Providers in Australia operate under strict AML/CTF regulations, mandated by AUSTRAC registration and ongoing compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act). Registration and robust compliance are not optional – they are legal imperatives.
Addressing the High Money Laundering & Terrorism Financing Risks in Remittance
Money remittance businesses are considered high-risk for money laundering and terrorism financing due to the nature of their services, which facilitate rapid cross-border fund transfers. Robust AML/CTF compliance is crucial to mitigate these inherent risks and protect your business and the community.
