Ireland AML regulatory landscape
Compliance teams working with Ireland-linked customers, counterparties, or transactions typically screen against the EU consolidated sanctions list and Irish national measures, alongside global sanctions regimes (OFAC, UN, EU) that reach across borders. The primary regulators are:
- Central Bank of Ireland
The core legal framework is the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010. 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 Ireland-facing compliance teams is supporting funds, payments, and tech firms that use Ireland as an EU hub while screening global counterparties. 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 Ireland 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.
