International work

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was formed in 1989 and is a cross-border body which draws up international standards for combating money laundering, financing of terrorism and financing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) is a European supervisory authority responsible for coordinating Member States’ efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism. AMLA will be fully operational on 1 January 2028 and will then conduct direct supervision of more than 40 financial firms in the EU. AMLA will also conduct indirect supervision of other financial firms through national authorities, for example Finansinspektionen in Sweden. Read more at AMLA’s website.

Nordic-Baltic AML/CFT Working Group (NBWG) was formed in 2019 and includes representatives from all Nordic and Baltic supervisory authorities. The aim of NBWG is to strengthen the cooperation between supervisory authorities in the Nordics and the Baltics through the transfer of experiences and information and to create more coordinated anti-money laundering supervision to more effectively prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
