The rules by region
Common principles
Each country's framework is built on the FATF Recommendations, so the core obligations are shared: identify customers, monitor activity, report suspicion to the national financial intelligence unit (FIU), retain records, and never tip off the subject of a report. The terminology, deadlines, and thresholds differ.
Cases on this site follow the rules of the jurisdiction they are set in. Read the section for your region, and review the others so you understand where they differ.
