AMLA - Consultation on draft standards for an EU-wide AML/CFT database

To ensure that supervisors have access to all relevant information, AMLA is establishing a central AML/CFT database. AMLA is consulting, via a public hearing, on the draft regulatory technical standards (RTS) that will establish the database.

The database will serve as the single point for supervisory authorities in the EU to report and retrieve information. It will bring together data on individual obliged entities and on supervisors and their activities. Once established, authorities across the AML/CFT supervisory system can use information from this database to identify risks and trends and support targeted, effective supervision. For AMLA, information from the database will also be central to ensuring oversight of the effective functioning of the EU supervisory system.

The draft standards set out how and when supervisors report information to the database, and the scope and level of detail required.

The draft standards recognise that supervisors will need time to adapt to the new requirements. For this reason, a staged entry into force is foreseen in some cases.

AMLA invites stakeholders to share their views on the draft standards at a public hearing on 3 November 2026, 14:00 - 16:00 CET
