Anti-Money Laundering Law
Commitment meets responsibility: Working together against economic crime
You are here: Expertise . Compliance & AML . Anti-Money Laundering Law
A payment institution notices that an unusually high number of new customers come from high-risk countries. A fintech company discovers transactions that do not match its business profile. An asset manager wonders whether its risk analysis still meets current requirements. The obligations under the Money Laundering Act are particularly challenging in the financial sector, with its complex structures and dynamic business models. Those who establish clear processes and use technological support not only protect themselves from sanctions, but also increase the integrity of their own business model.

Legal Advice with vision and operational experience
Money laundering prevention is more than just a legal requirement today – it is an expression of corporate responsibility. The obligations under the Money Laundering Act (Section 2 (1) GwG) affect numerous players: from credit institutions and insurance brokers to commodity dealers, lawyers and tax advisors.
They all face the task of identifying risks at an early stage and taking targeted countermeasures.
Effective prevention requires a deep understanding of one’s own risk situation, clear internal processes, ongoing training and a sensitive early warning system – all embedded in a corporate culture that lives and breathes compliance.
Technological progress can be a valuable ally here: modern monitoring systems, automated risk analyses and digital training tools open up new ways of combining efficiency with legal certainty. But the challenges faced by those subject to these obligations are as individual as they are themselves – and so should be the solutions.
With Annerton, money laundering prevention becomes an integrated compliance solution – robust for auditing, understandable for employees and effective in day-to-day business.
