Periodic questionnaire on Money the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act and Sanctions Act (Sanctiewet)
Crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) must periodically complete a questionnaire on the the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft) and the Sanctions Act 1977 (Sw). Completion of this questionnaire is mandatory.Purpose of the questionnaire
The supervision of the AFM on compliance with the Wwft and Sanctions Act is risk based. Among other things, this means that we will use the information provided through the questionnaire to draw up risk profiles. In addition, the obtained information provides an overall picture of the inherent money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Furthermore, we can use this information within our decision-making process during the developments of the supervising strategy. In principle, CASPs will not receive individual feedback.Questionnaire design
In the questionnaire of 2025, we only ask questions with respect to the inherent money laundering and terrorist financing risks, as CASPs have already submitted information concerning the extent to which these inherent risks are managed during the licensing or notification process. As of next year, CASPs will receive the complete questionnaire, in which we will ask questions regarding both the inherent risks and the degree to which these risks are managed.
The pdf version of the questionnaire (pdf, 720 KB) contains more questions than the digital version. Questions that do not apply to individual CASPs will not be shown in the digital version.
Acces to the questionnaire
The questionnaire will be provided through the AFM portal. In order to access and complete the questionnaire, CASPs must have an account to access the AFM portal. It is important that the person who will complete the questionnaire has an account with sufficient rights
Complete the questionnaire truthfully
Designated CASPs must complete the questionnaire fully, accurately and truthfully. The company's management is personally responsible for ensuring compliance. Failure to submit the questionnaire, or to do so in a timely manner, may result in enforcement action by us, such as the issuance of a warning.Last updated on July 22, 2025.
