Switzerland AML regulatory landscape
Compliance teams working with Switzerland-linked customers, counterparties, or transactions typically screen against SECO's sanctions lists and the UN Consolidated List, alongside global sanctions regimes (OFAC, UN, EU) that reach across borders. The primary regulators are:
- FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority)
- MROS (Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland)
The core legal framework is the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA/GwG). 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 Switzerland-facing compliance teams is meeting strict private-banking due-diligence standards across a high volume of cross-border relationships. 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 Switzerland 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.
