AML/CFT, KYC, Sanctions & Fraud Compliance Advisory

Banks must also consider applicable Maltese and European sanctions requirements and sustain risk-proportionate customer due diligence and financial crime controls.
Reinforcing Financial Crime Risk Management & Regulatory Compliance Across Malta's.
Financial crime compliance is a fundamental regulatory responsibility for banks operating in Malta. Banking institutions need sound arrangements to determine, examine and manage exposure to money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations, fraud and other forms of financial crime. Financial crime risks carry on to evolve, requiring banks to uphold regulatory arrangements that are risk-proportionate, well-governed and responsive to emerging threats.
Malta’s Money Laundering Act (Prevention of Money Laundering Act (Cap. 373)) establishes key AML/CFT obligations for obliged entities, including credit institutions. Banks must also consider applicable Maltese and European sanctions requirements and sustain risk-proportionate customer due diligence and financial crime controls. ABM helps banking institutions in Malta enhance AML intelligence, AML/CFT compliance, customer due diligence, sanctions and fraud risk arrangements.

Your Questions Answered
What does the Prevention of Money Laundering Act require?
Risk-based AML/CFT arrangements: a business-wide risk assessment, customer due diligence scaled to risk, ongoing monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, sanctions screening, training, and governance ownership.
How should customer due diligence work?
Risk-based from the start: verify identity, understand ownership and purpose, apply enhanced measures where risk is higher, and keep information current through ongoing monitoring.
What about sanctions compliance?
EU sanctions apply directly and carry strict liability in practice. Firms need effective screening, clear escalation procedures, and awareness that exposure hides in ownership structures.
How is transaction monitoring supervised?
Supervisors test calibration and outcomes: whether scenarios reflect your actual risks, whether alerts are investigated on time, and whether the system evolves with the business.
Can you review our financial crime framework?
Yes. We conduct independent AML/CFT reviews covering governance, risk assessment, due diligence, monitoring, and reporting, with practical findings your team can implement.
