Other Supervisory Authorities for Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing
In the Netherlands, six supervisory authorities are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft), each overseeing specific categories of institutions. The following financial institutions are under supervision of the AFM: investment firms, (managers of) investment funds (AIFMs and UCITS), providers of crypto-asset services (CASPs), and financial service providers, insofar as they mediate in the conclusion of life insurance contracts.
For an overview of the institutions that fall under the supervision of other supervisory authorities in the Netherlands, we kindly refer to:
- The Dutch Central Bank
- Financial and Economic Integrity Service (DFEI) of the Ministry of Finance
- Financial Supervision Office (BFT)
- The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA)
- The Dean of the Netherlands Bar (NOvA)
Financial Intelligence Unit – the Netherlands
Together, the AFM and FIU-the Netherlands strive to strengthen the integrity of the financial system. FIU-the Netherlands is the central body to which various reporting entities are required to report their unusual transactions. We are one of the supervisory authorities responsible for overseeing compliance by financial institutions under our supervision with the reporting obligation as incorporated in the Wwft. We exchange information with FIU-the Netherlands to improve the assessment of reporting behaviour, the identification of risks, and supervision.
