These entities will now be counted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beneficial Ownership and Access to Registers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are also changes concerning the declaration of beneficial owners and access to (transparency) registers. Legal persons based outside the EU will be required to register their beneficial owners if they have a connection to the EU (e.g. owning property within the EU).\n\nWith regard to public access to the registers, the directive establishes that individuals with a legitimate interest will be granted access to the data. This includes, for example, journalists, NGOs, and competent authorities in third countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cash Payment Limits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A general EU-wide cash payment limit of \u20ac10,000 will be introduced. Member States may decide to set or maintain lower national thresholds.\n\nAdditionally, obliged entities will be required to identify and verify the identity of customers for cash transactions exceeding \u20ac3,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Information-Sharing Partnerships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Under the new rules, obliged entities will be permitted to form partnerships for information exchange to share data related to money laundering, terrorist financing, suspicious activity reports, and suspicious transactions.\nNational FIUs and other authorities, such as law enforcement agencies, may participate in these information-sharing partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Single Digital Access Point for Real Estate Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To make it easier for authorities to obtain financial information about real estate (e.g. sale prices or encumbrances), Member States will be required to establish a digital access portal.\nDetails on how the portal will operate and be structured will be left up to the individual Member States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Will the Changes Take Effect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To fully implement the regulation and directive, technical standards will need to be developed to further specify many provisions. However, these standards cannot be finalised until the AMLA (Anti-Money Laundering Authority) is established.\n\nAMLA will be created shortly after the formal adoption of the regulation and is expected to become operational within approximately one year.\n\nThe full regulatory framework, including technical standards, is expected to be ready by mid-2027, at which point it will become binding.\n\nHowever, not all rules will enter into force at the same time \u2014 for example, the rules concerning the football sector and the creation of a real estate access portal will only become applicable from 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
