AMLA submitted final draft regulatory technical standards on customer due diligence, business relationships and group-wide requirements to the European Commission on 1 October 2026, but the drafts are not yet legally binding and may be amended before Commission adoption and Official Journal publication. While the AMLR itself will apply from 10 July 2027, the proposed CDD standard would generally apply six months after entering into force, with football agents and professional football clubs deferred until July 2029. The draft maintains identity documents and qualified electronic identification at substantial or high assurance levels as the default verification methods, allowing remote document-based onboarding only when those methods are unavailable and requiring firms to justify its use and retain evidence. It requires verification of all required customer data, supplemental sources for missing information and beneficial ownership checks, risk-sensitive PEP monitoring, sanctions screening at onboarding and after relevant changes, and remediation of existing customer files within one year for higher-risk clients and five years for others. AMLA rejected calls to extend refresh intervals, adopt broadly risk-based sanctions screening, reduce required verification data, or expand simplified due diligence, while other guidance on risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, reporting, outsourcing and related issues remains pending.
