How To Tackle the Critical AML Challenges in the Philippines

The state of financial crime compliance in the Philippines is a story of progress mixed with pressing challenges. On the one hand, the country has taken meaningful steps forward, particularly in tightening regulations in critical sectors like banking and remittance services. Yet, the shadow of financial crime looms large, with persistent risks in areas such as terrorist financing, online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC), money mule activities, account takeover fraud, and illegal gambling. These are not just abstract threats—they are real, tangible issues that exploit gaps in the current regulatory framework, threatening to undermine the stability of the nation’s financial system.This whitepaper, authored by the sharpest minds in the Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) Ecosystem, delves deep into these challenges. These experts have meticulously analyzed a series of publications by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) since 2021, scrutinizing everything from National Risk Assessments (NRA) to detailed AML/CFT guidelines. What emerges is a comprehensive view of where the Philippines stands—and more importantly, where it needs to go.Please fill in your details to download the whitepaper.
