WHAT CAN AN AML SERVICE PROVIDER DO FOR ME?
26/05/2023
The concept of an AML Service Provider (AMLSP) has been introduced as a mechanism to support those now required to register under the new regime, particularly where they are already administered by a regulated Jersey trust or fund services business.
AMLSPs can apply for registration on behalf of their customers and employees of the AMLSP can be appointed to act as MLRO and MLCO for registrable entities.
An entity is eligible to appoint an AMLSP if:
- It is not itself a regulated person carrying on a regulated business; and
- It has no established place of business in Jersey (other than through a regulated Jersey trust or fund services provider).
An entity is eligible to act as an AMLSP if:
- It is registered to conduct the relevant classes of trust company business (i.e. G, H, L, OA and OB) and/or fund services business (i.e. U, V, ZG, ZH, ZI and ZJ); and
- It is not a managed entity, a managed trust company or a natural person.
