#regulation #finance The Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD) is a set of regulations imposed by the [[European Union (EU)]] to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. It sets out rules that financial institutions and other obligated entities must follow to prevent, detect, and report suspicious activities. These rules include customer due diligence (like verifying identities and assessing risk), monitoring transactions, and reporting suspicious transactions to authorities. The AMLD aims to protect the integrity of the financial system in the EU and prevent it from being used for illegal activities.
