Brazil AML regulatory landscape
Compliance teams working with Brazil-linked customers, counterparties, or transactions typically screen against UN lists and Brazilian domestic designations, alongside global sanctions regimes (OFAC, UN, EU) that reach across borders. The primary regulators are:
- COAF
- Banco Central do Brasil
The core legal framework is Brazilian AML Law 9.613/1998 and related BACEN/COAF rules. AMLX doesn't replace that framework — it gives your team a faster, correlated way to screen against it.
The problem AMLX solves
The common friction point for Brazil-facing compliance teams is covering PIX-era payment volume and correspondent relationships under COAF reporting pressure. AMLX's live correlation engine pulls sanctions, PEP, adverse media, and financial-crime feeds into one triage dashboard, automatically linking related records so nothing gets missed by only checking one list at a time.
How teams use it
- Screen new customers, counterparties, or beneficial owners with Brazil exposure in real time.
- Correlate hits across sanctions, PEP, and adverse media instead of manually cross-referencing each source.
- Export a clean, shareable PDF record of findings for your file or an examiner.
