Singapore AML regulatory landscape
Compliance teams working with Singapore-linked customers, counterparties, or transactions typically screen against Singapore's domestic and UN-linked targeted financial sanctions lists, alongside global sanctions regimes (OFAC, UN, EU) that reach across borders. The primary regulators are:
- MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore)
The core legal framework is MAS Notice 626 and the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes Act (CDSA). 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 Singapore-facing compliance teams is satisfying MAS's risk-based screening expectations in a market at the center of Asia-Pacific capital flows. 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 Singapore 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.
