Luxembourg launches new national AML/CFT information portal
Luxembourg authorities have officially launched a new national portal dedicated to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (“AML/CFT”): amlcft.public.lu.
The platform centralises AML/CFT-related information previously scattered across multiple governmental and supervisory websites and is intended to serve as a single reference point for professionals subject to Luxembourg AML/CFT obligations.
This initiative reflects Luxembourg’s continued efforts to strengthen the accessibility, coordination and overall consistency of its AML/CFT framework in a context of increasing international scrutiny, evolving European standards and reinforced supervisory expectations. The portal was officially presented during a meeting of the national AML/CFT Prevention Committee in the presence of the Luxembourg Minister of Justice.
The website notably gathers practical guidance, legal and regulatory materials, sanctions-related information, sector-specific obligations, reporting requirements and contact points for the various competent authorities involved in AML/CFT supervision and enforcement. It also facilitates access to resources issued by several Luxembourg authorities and institutions, including the Ministry of Justice, the CSSF, the CAA and the AED.
Beyond its practical dimension, the creation of this platform further confirms the Luxembourg authorities’ intention to promote a more harmonised and proactive approach to AML/CFT compliance across regulated sectors. The portal is expected to become an important operational tool for professionals required to monitor ongoing legal and regulatory developments, including investment funds, financial professionals, insurers, corporate service providers and other regulated entities.
For regulated professionals and investment structures, this development also serves as a reminder that AML/CFT obligations are not limited to formal compliance exercises but require continuous monitoring, documented internal procedures, adequate governance arrangements and risk-based assessments adapted to the nature and activities of each structure.
In practice, professionals should continue to ensure that their internal policies, customer due diligence procedures, reporting mechanisms, governance frameworks and sanctions screening processes remain aligned with evolving Luxembourg AML/CFT requirements and supervisory expectations.
Our team remains at your disposal should you require any assistance in relation to Luxembourg AML/CFT obligations and/or regulatory compliance.
