Preparing for Tranche 2: Insights from Jurisdictions Already Implementing These Rules

As Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) regulations expand beyond traditional financial institutions, non-financial businesses and professions—such as lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, and trust and company service providers (TCSPs)—must prepare for increased compliance obligations.

Tranche 2 regulations require these gatekeeper professions to conduct risk-based assessments, enhance customer due diligence (CDD), and report suspicious activities to regulatory authorities. Jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, and New Zealand have already implemented these rules, providing critical lessons for businesses yet to comply.
