FATF Guidance: Anti-Money Laundering Measures and Terrorist Financing Measures and Financial Inclusion

The guidance paper focuses on ensuring that Anti-Money Laundering Measures and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) controls do not inhibit access to well regulated financial services for financially excluded and underserved groups, including low income, rural sector and undocumented groups. The document provides clarity and guidance on the FATF Recommendations that are relevant when promoting financial inclusion and shows how the Recommendations can be read and interpreted to support financial access.
