Guidelines for International Financial Services

This Guideline applies to all entities that are licensed under the FIA and IFSA. Licensees (including parent companies or financial holding companies for banking groups) should ensure that, at a minimum, this Guideline is also implemented in their branches and majority-owned subsidiaries abroad and, where permitted in the host country, ensure that those operations apply the higher of local and host standards.

Licensees should inform the Bank and the Authority if the host laws and regulations prohibit the implementation of this Guideline; and take
appropriate additional measures to address the ML/FT risks.
