Payments Financial Crime Questions Answered
What AML rules apply to e-money firms?
EU anti-money laundering directives and national implementing laws apply fully to EMIs and payment institutions, with e-money specific requirements around anonymous instruments and thresholds.
Why is payments AML monitoring different?
Volume and velocity. Monitoring must detect patterns across instant, high-frequency, cross-border flows where manual review is impossible and poorly tuned systems drown teams, including MAMLA duties.
What are the rules on anonymous e-money?
Strictly limited. Low thresholds apply to anonymous prepaid instruments, and most business models now require full customer due diligence from onboarding onward.
Can you tune our transaction monitoring?
Yes. We review your scenarios, thresholds, and alert outcomes, then recalibrate the monitoring so it detects genuine risk without overwhelming your investigation team.
Do you help after AML inspection findings?
Absolutely. We translate inspection findings into prioritised remediation plans, rebuild the weak controls properly, and evidence improvements so supervisors see credible, completed change.
