For financial intermediaries in Switzerland – especially asset managers – the obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and FINMA regulations are key. Both require that customers be identified beyond doubt, beneficial owners be recorded, and business relationships be monitored on an ongoing basis.
