Anti-Money Laundering refers to laws, regulations, and procedures intended to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. AML includes customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and reporting obligations.
Sanctions compliance means adhering to restrictions set by authorities (e.g., OFAC, EU, UN) that prohibit transactions with specific individuals, entities, or countries. These can be financial, trade-related, or involve asset freezes.
CFT involves efforts to stop the flow of funds to terrorist groups. It’s often addressed alongside AML due to overlapping tools (screening, KYC, monitoring) and laws.
