Countries and territories in AML/CFT/CPF Handbook appendices updated – 13 June 2025
We have updated appendix D1 and appendix D2 of our AML/CFT/CPF Handbook, in response to the latest Financial Action Task Force (FATF) statements of 13 June 2025.
To see what has changed, go to our amendments log.
The Know Your Country rating column and associated link have been removed from Appendix D2, as the Know Your Country website no longer provides numerical risk scores. This unofficial source was previously included for illustrative purposes only.
What this means
Effective immediately, countries and territories listed under Sources 1 and 2 of Appendix D2 should be treated as not compliant with FATF Recommendations for the purpose of Article 17A of the Money Laundering Order.
Next steps
Supervised persons should:
- review policies, procedures, and existing customer relationships, to assess the impact of these updates on their business
- take particular care when considering placing reliance on an obliged person based in one of these countries and territories
- discuss any concerns with your supervisor
Supervised persons may be required to undertake additional actions to mitigate the risk.
