This session explores the changes brought by the new EU AML/CFT legislative package.

Focus group, 18 November 2025

The EU AML/CFT package marks the most significant reform of the Union’s financial crime framework in decades. With AMLA becoming formally operational from July 2025, and the new AML Regulation applying directly from 2027, firms face a multi-year window to restructure compliance, enhance reporting, and prepare for increasingly centralized supervision.

For cross-border groups, the shift away from fragmented national standards to a directly applicable regulation introduces substantial legal, operational, and governance challenges — especially concerning customer due diligence, PEP screening, and ownership transparency (UBO identification).

This session equips participants with both the legal tools to understand what’s coming, and the operational guidance to start preparing today.
