The EBA’s work on de-risking

In March, we published a factsheet on de-risking. De-risking is the refusal to enter into, or a decision to terminate, business relationships with individual customers or categories of customers associated with higher ML/TF risk, or to refuse to carry out higher ML/TF risk transaction.

This factsheet provides an overview of the work we have done to tackle unwarranted de-risking and to safeguard legitimate customers’ access to financial services, including: the Guidelines on the effective management of ML/TF risks when providing access to financial services, additional guidance to financial institutions that service nonprofit organisations (NPOs) to the ML/TF Risk Factors Guidelines, and the joint EC/EBA factsheet on access to EU financial services as an NPO.

The AMLA will be able to build on these guidelines as the new EU supervisory framework takes shape.
