Implementation date for AML/CFT/CPF Handbook enhancements

In response to industry feedback, the implementation date for the proposed enhancements to the AML/CFT/CPF Handbook, including requirements for enhanced criminal background checks, has been deferred to 31 May 2026.
 
This extension provides additional time for industry to prepare for the updates.
 
Feedback papers from both consultations will be published by the end of November 2025. The feedback received across both consultations demonstrates a high level of engagement, and we would like to thank all those who responded.
