Newsletter 1085: Register via goAML

Dear Sir or Madam
Dear Members

MROS has reminded us that it not only receives suspicious activity reports via goAML, but also uses this channel to communicate with financial intermediaries subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). This applies both in connection with requests pursuant to Article 11a AMLA and within the scope of its preventive mandate, which includes raising awareness among financial intermediaries regarding money laundering, its predicate offenses, organized crime, and terrorist financing (e.g., through newsletters and guidelines such as the FIAHT Guide).

In addition, as part of the legislation on the Transparency Register (TJPG), a new paragraph 7 has been added to Article 23 AMLA. This provision stipulates that communication with MROS must take place exclusively via the MROS information system. This requirement is expected to enter into force at the beginning of the second half of 2026.

Against this background, we recommend that you register with goAML without delay (if you have not already done so) in order to ensure access to this communication channel with MROS.
