19th Update 2019

icqm offers a country list for risk categorization.

icqm has developped the product TvT country, which will support financial institutions in fulfilling the regulatory requirements. TvT country lists those countries, which are considered to have enhanced risks. This list contains three categories which range from I (enhanced risk) to III (highest risk). The decision to put a country into a certain category is based on reliable, internationally accepted sources such as the FATF sanctions list and list of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories, the CPI index of Transparency International's and countries which face embargos by the UN and Switzerland.

AMLA Commentary, 3rd edition
Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act and other laws

Switzerland is known as a financial services center and is attractive for foreign capital. The purpose of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is to fight money laundering and terrorist financing. It should deter that assets from criminal sources or qualified tax offences are being legalised in Switzerland. Additionally the AMLA contains binding due diligence obligations for all participants in the financial sector.

Renowend practising experts comment the manifold rules in the area of due diligence and offer a great number of practical hints and suggestions as an indispensable tool for the daily work in the financial industry. Besides the AMLA, the Agreement on the Swiss banks’ code of conduct with regard to the exercise of due diligence (CDB 16) and a select number comments are made on the Money Laundering Ordinance (MLO) and the Money Laundering Ordinance FINMA (MLO-FINMA). Additional domestic and international rules and guidelines are attached.
