To Members of the Malaysian Bar

Enhancements to AML/CFT Compliance Officer Appointment Notification Method and Targeted Financial Sanctions Reporting Forms and Launch of BNM’s AML/CFT E-Platform

We have been informed that Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) has made enhancements to the Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Financing of Terrorism (“AML/CFT”) Compliance Officer (“CO”) Appointment Notification Method and the Targeted Financial Sanctions Reporting Forms.

The notification of CO appointment or change in appointed CO can now be made by completing an online form available at this link.  In addition, for the reporting of targeted financial sanctions (“TFS”), reporting institutions (“RIs”) can submit the reporting forms to a new email address as reflected in the revised forms that are stated in BNM’s newsletter available at this link.

BNM has also informed us of the launch of the private AML/CFT E-Platform, which will host the repository of awareness video materials including all AML/CFT Webinar series for the DNFBP and NBFI sectors conducted between April and December 2020.  The E-Platform will also host other awareness video materials produced in the future.  Access to the private E-Platform is limited to the COs whose appointments have been notified to BNM.  Click here to request access to the webinar videos.

Should you have any enquiries, please contact BNM’s Financial Intelligence and Enforcement Department (“FIED”) by telephone at 1-300-88-5465 or by email at fied@bnm.gov.my.

Thank you.
