Every MAS-regulated financial institution in Singapore must maintain a functioning AML/CFT programme. The programme must cover five components: risk assessment, customer due diligence, ongoing transaction monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting to STRO, and internal controls. These are continuous obligations enforced through sector-specific MAS notices, not one-time setup requirements. From 1 July 2025, proliferation financing risk assessment became a mandatory element across all regulated entities. Non-compliance carries fines of up to S$1 million per offence, with a further S$100,000 per day for a continuing offence. AML/CFT obligations in Singapore extend beyond MAS-regulated entities: designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) are subject to equivalent requirements administered by separate regulators, and the Anti-Money Laundering and Other Matters Act 2024 has materially strengthened enforcement powers and extended compliance obligations across additional sectors.
What AML/CFT Compliance Requires for Singapore Financial Institutions
Anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance is the most actively enforced area of MAS regulation. According to MAS, Singapore’s AML/CFT framework applies to banks, merchant banks, finance companies, insurers, capital markets intermediaries, financial advisers, payment service providers, and trust companies.
Singapore is a member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setting body for AML/CFT. On 6 May 2026, FATF published its fifth-round mutual evaluation of Singapore following an on-site visit in July 2025. Singapore was placed on Regular Follow-up, the best monitoring tier in the FATF framework and an upgrade from the Enhanced Follow-up status it had carried since 2016. Of eleven Immediate Outcomes assessed, Singapore was rated substantially effective on seven and moderately effective on four. The evaluation confirmed the strength of Singapore’s overall framework while identifying areas requiring further improvement, including prosecution rates relative to investigation volumes, asset freezing under UN sanctions regimes, and risk-based consistency across certain DNFBP sectors.
MAS aligns its notices with FATF recommendations. The 1 July 2025 revisions to MAS notices represent the most significant update to the AML/CFT framework since 2024, incorporating proliferation financing as a mandatory risk category across all regulated sectors. The Anti-Money Laundering and Other Matters Act 2024, which came into partial effect on 14 November 2024, has further strengthened enforcement powers and extended AML/CFT obligations to additional sectors.
The starting point for any AML/CFT programme is knowing which MAS notice applies to your institution, since each notice carries specific requirements and its own enforcement consequences.

The Five Core Components of an AML/CFT Programme
Every MAS-regulated financial institution must maintain a functioning AML/CFT programme covering five components. These apply regardless of institution size or licence type.
1. ML/TF/PF Risk Assessment
An institution-wide risk assessment is the foundation of the entire AML/CFT programme. The assessment identifies where money laundering (ML), terrorism financing (TF), and from July 2025, proliferation financing (PF) risks are concentrated within the business: across the customer base, products, delivery channels, and geographies.
The risk assessment must be dynamic and reviewed regularly, not written once and filed. It drives the calibration of everything else in the programme: customer risk ratings, monitoring thresholds, when enhanced due diligence is required, and where staff training should focus.
An institution that has not updated its risk assessment since the July 2025 proliferation financing requirement took effect is operating with a non-compliant programme, even if every other component is in order. The FATF’s May 2026 evaluation noted that Singapore’s financial institutions and virtual asset service providers generally demonstrate a good understanding of PF risks and counter-proliferation financing (CPF) obligations, and that the level of PF risk awareness can be improved in certain sectors not traditionally subject to FATF obligations.
2. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
CDD is the process of identifying and verifying who customers are, understanding the nature of their business, and assessing the risk each relationship presents before it commences.
Across all MAS-regulated sectors, CDD requires:
- Obtaining and verifying the identity of the customer and their ultimate beneficial owner (UBO)
- Assessing each customer’s risk rating based on the institution’s risk framework
- Understanding the expected nature, purpose, and pattern of the business relationship
- Applying enhanced due diligence (EDD) for high-risk customers
High-risk customers include Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), customers from high-risk jurisdictions, and customers whose source of wealth or source of funds cannot be clearly established. For these customers, EDD goes beyond identity verification: it requires actively corroborating where the money in the relationship originates.
The July 2025 enforcement action against nine financial institutions by MAS identified inadequate customer risk assessments and failure to corroborate source of wealth as the most common breach. These are not procedural gaps: they reflect programmes where the CDD framework existed on paper but was not applied consistently in practice.
3. Ongoing Transaction Monitoring
Compliance with AML/CFT requirements does not end at customer onboarding. Relationships must be monitored throughout their lifecycle to detect activity that is inconsistent with the established customer profile or that suggests emerging risk.
Ongoing monitoring requires the institution to:
- Track transactions against expected customer behaviour and volume baselines
- Set and calibrate transaction monitoring thresholds based on the risk assessment
- Conduct periodic account reviews aligned with each customer’s risk rating, with higher-risk customers reviewed more frequently
- Re-evaluate a customer’s risk profile when significant changes in behaviour, ownership, or business activity are identified
A transaction monitoring system calibrated for the institution’s early-stage size and customer base may be materially inadequate once the business scales. MAS expects monitoring systems to evolve with the risk profile of the institution. The FATF’s May 2026 evaluation noted that institutions with outsourced compliance functions must be able to demonstrate, on demand, that outsourced controls are operating effectively: outsourcing a function does not transfer the underlying regulatory responsibility.
4. Suspicious Transaction Reporting to STRO
When a transaction or pattern of activity is suspected of being connected to money laundering, terrorism financing, proliferation financing, or related offences, regulated entities must file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) with Singapore’s Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO), the country’s Financial Intelligence Unit operating under the Commercial Affairs Department.
STRs are submitted through the STRO Online Notices And Reporting (SONAR) platform within five business days of suspicion being established. For higher-risk cases involving sanctioned parties, the STR must be filed no later than one business day after suspicion is established. These timelines reflect the revised MAS AML/CFT notices that took effect on 1 July 2025, according to Allen & Gledhill.
Filing an STR is not discretionary. An institution that becomes aware of a suspicious transaction and does not report it is in breach of its AML/CFT obligations, regardless of whether the underlying suspicion is later confirmed. The Anti-Money Laundering and Other Matters Act 2024 also amended the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (CDSA) to facilitate the pursuit of ML cases arising from criminal conduct overseas: it is now sufficient for prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused knew or had reasonable grounds to believe they were dealing with criminal proceeds, without the need to establish the specific foreign predicate offence.
5. Internal Policies, Staff Training, and Audit
The governance layer keeps the other four components functioning in practice, not just on paper.
This component requires:
- Written, board-approved AML/CFT policies and procedures that reflect how the institution actually operates
- A compliance function with sufficient seniority and authority to oversee AML/CFT obligations and escalate material issues to the board
- AML/CFT training for all relevant staff, targeted to their specific roles and refreshed when regulations or processes change, with records maintained
- Internal audit or independent testing of the AML/CFT programme at regular intervals to verify that the framework is working as designed
- Clear escalation mechanisms when staff identify potential AML/CFT concerns
- Where the compliance function is outsourced, documented oversight arrangements and evidence that the institution can independently verify the performance of outsourced controls
Training is not a one-off induction exercise. Staff who process transactions, manage customer relationships, or onboard new accounts must understand how AML/CFT obligations apply to their specific roles. This is the component most frequently found to be insufficient during MAS supervisory reviews.
Sector-Specific AML/CFT Notices by Licence Type
MAS issues sector-specific AML/CFT notices that set the detailed requirements for each institution type. The five core components apply across all of them, but the specific obligations, thresholds, and calibrations differ by licence type. All notices were revised effective 1 July 2025 to incorporate the mandatory ML/TF/PF framework.
Banks and Merchant Banks
MAS Notice 626 on Prevention of Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism sets out the requirements for banks. It covers CDD obligations including identification and verification of UBOs, beneficial ownership identification for legal persons and arrangements, correspondent banking requirements, wire transfer rules, and reporting standards. Enhanced due diligence requirements apply for PEPs, correspondent banking relationships, and customers from high-risk jurisdictions. The July 2025 revisions added explicit PF risk assessment obligations and expanded the definition of relevant trust parties to include protectors, classes of beneficiaries, and objects of a power.
Finance Companies
Finance companies are subject to AML/CFT requirements under MAS Notice FFB-N01. The obligations mirror the structure of Notice 626 in respect of CDD, ongoing monitoring, and reporting, with calibrations appropriate to the finance company business model. The July 2025 PF amendments apply equally.
Insurers
Life insurers and other insurers are subject to MAS Notices MAS 314 and MAS 306 respectively. For life insurance, CDD obligations arise at the point of policy issuance and at specified trigger events including claim payments. The AML/CFT framework for insurers includes specific requirements around the identification of beneficiaries, policyholders, and the beneficial owners of legal person clients. The July 2025 amendments require explicit PF risk assessment to be integrated into enterprise-wide risk assessments.
Financial Advisers
Licensed financial advisers are subject to MAS Notice FAA-N06. Requirements cover CDD at point of onboarding, ongoing review obligations commensurate with customer risk, and reporting. Financial advisers who distribute insurance products must also comply with the corresponding insurer notice requirements in relation to the transactions they facilitate.
Capital Markets Intermediaries
MAS Notice SFA 04-N02 applies to holders of Capital Markets Services (CMS) licences including fund managers, brokers, securities dealers, and related capital markets firms. The AML/CFT obligations are equivalent in structure to Notice 626, with calibrations for the capital markets business model including specific requirements for securities transactions. The notice also requires a compliance function capable of reporting to the board on AML/CFT regulatory failures. Variable Capital Companies (VCCs) used as fund structures are subject to equivalent requirements aligned with the CMS licensee framework under revised VCC-specific notices that also took effect on 1 July 2025.
Payment Service Providers
MAS Notice PSN01 applies to Major Payment Institutions (MPIs) and Standard Payment Institutions (SPIs) providing specified payment services. It includes a requirement for a compliance function with sufficient expertise to oversee AML/CFT obligations, which may be outsourced to a qualified third party provided the licensee retains accountability and documents the arrangement. In June 2025, five MPIs received combined composition penalties of S$960,000 for AML/CFT breaches, underscoring active enforcement in this sector.
Digital Payment Token (DPT) Service Providers
A dedicated AML/CFT notice applies to DPT service providers licensed under the Payment Services Act. The notice carries enhanced requirements reflecting the elevated ML/TF/PF risk profile of DPT activities, including customer screening obligations, enhanced transaction monitoring, and specific controls for peer-to-peer transfers and interactions with unhosted wallets. The Corporate Service Providers Act 2024, which came into effect on 9 June 2025, also introduced new AML/CFT/CPF obligations on corporate service providers operating alongside DPT ecosystems, recognising the intersection between corporate structuring services and digital asset activity.
Trust Companies
Trust companies are subject to MAS Notice TCA-N03. The July 2025 amendments expanded the definition of “trust relevant party” to include protectors, classes of beneficiaries, and objects of a power, in addition to the settlor, trustee, and individual beneficiaries. The revised definition requires trust companies to identify and verify a broader set of connected parties as part of their CDD process. CDD screening must capture ML, TF, and PF red flags across all trust relevant parties.
Applying the Wrong Notice
Applying the wrong notice, operating on an outdated version that has not been updated since the July 2025 revisions, or failing to update internal policies to reflect the expanded ML/TF/PF scope, constitutes a compliance gap regardless of intent.
What Changed: 2024 to 2026
July 2025: MAS Revised AML/CFT Notices
On 1 July 2025, MAS published revised AML/CFT notices and guidelines for all regulated financial institutions and VCCs. The most significant change is the explicit incorporation of proliferation financing (PF) into the ML/TF risk assessment framework. Institutions must carry out a PF risk assessment, either standalone or integrated into their existing ML/TF risk assessment. The revised notices also clarified STR reporting timelines, expanded trust relevant party definitions, and updated guidance on the calibration of transaction monitoring thresholds.
Anti-Money Laundering and Other Matters Act 2024
The Anti-Money Laundering and Other Matters Act 2024 (AMLOMA) was passed by Parliament on 6 August 2024, assented to on 26 August 2024, and came into partial effect on 14 November 2024. The AMLOMA introduced three significant changes. First, it strengthened law enforcement powers to pursue ML cases arising from foreign predicate offences by amending the CDSA, removing the requirement to establish the specific foreign offence and replacing it with a knowledge or reasonable belief standard. Second, it aligned Singapore’s AML/CFT framework for casino operators with FATF standards by amending the Casino Control Act, including lowering the CDD threshold for casino patrons from S$5,000 to S$4,000 and requiring casinos to consider PF risks in their CDD assessments. Third, it enhanced inter-agency data sharing, including allowing AML/CFT supervisors such as the CEA and ACRA to access STRs filed by their respective regulated entities.
Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 and Regulations 2025
The Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 and Corporate Service Providers Regulations 2025 came into effect on 9 June 2025. They impose mandatory AML/CFT/CPF obligations on corporate service providers (including registered filing agents and company secretarial firms) as a standalone regulatory regime supervised by ACRA.
Singapore’s National AML Strategy 2024
In October 2024, Singapore published its National Anti-Money Laundering Strategy 2024. The strategy sets out Singapore’s risk-based approach across the financial and non-financial sectors, including planned amendments to the Trustees Act 1967 to improve the effectiveness of the AML framework on trust beneficial ownership. The maximum penalty for breaches of the Trustees Act and the Trustees (Transparency and Effective Control) Regulations 2017 is proposed to increase from S$1,000 to S$25,000. The strategy also references the COSMIC platform, launched in April 2024, which enables regulated financial institutions to share information on customers who exhibit multiple financial crime risk indicators.
FATF Mutual Evaluation 2026
Following an on-site visit in July 2025 covering the period from 2020 onwards, the FATF and Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) published their mutual evaluation of Singapore on 6 May 2026. Singapore was upgraded from Enhanced Follow-up to Regular Follow-up, its best FATF result to date and the first such outcome under the FATF’s tougher fifth-round methodology. Singapore was rated substantially effective on seven of eleven Immediate Outcomes and moderately effective on four. Areas identified for further improvement include prosecution rates relative to investigation volumes, asset freezing under UN Al-Qaeda and ISIS sanctions regimes, and improvement of PF risk awareness in certain sectors not traditionally subject to FATF obligations. MAS, MHA, and MOF issued a joint statement affirming the outcome and committing to further enhancement of the framework. Post-evaluation inspection cycles typically accelerate, and institutions with structural gaps similar to those identified in the July 2025 enforcement actions are likely to face increased scrutiny in 2026 and 2027.
What MAS Enforcement Looks Like
The enforcement record shows what MAS prioritises and how it responds when AML/CFT programmes fail.
In July 2025, MAS imposed S$27.45 million in total composition penalties on nine financial institutions for AML/CFT breaches linked to the S$3 billion money laundering case uncovered in August 2023. MAS also revoked one capital markets services licence for multiple regulatory violations, according to MAS. The breaches across all nine institutions centred on the same failures: inadequate customer risk assessments and failure to corroborate source of wealth for high-risk customers.
In June 2025, five Major Payment Institutions received combined composition penalties of S$960,000 for AML/CFT breaches, according to MAS.
Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2022, a financial institution that fails to comply with AML/CFT requirements is liable for a fine not exceeding S$1 million per offence. A continuing offence incurs a further S$100,000 per day. Beyond fines, MAS can restrict business activities, revoke licences, issue public reprimands, and take action against individual officers. These figures apply per breach: where multiple failures are found, each is counted separately.
Most compliance failures are not the result of deliberate misconduct. They arise from compliance functions that are under-resourced, under-structured, or not keeping pace with regulatory change. The pattern across enforcement actions is consistent: the requirements are clearly published; the failures are operational.
AML/CFT Obligations for Non-MAS Regulated Entities: Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions
AML/CFT obligations in Singapore are not confined to MAS-regulated financial institutions. Singapore’s framework designates a range of non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) as subject to equivalent obligations under their respective sector regulators. The underlying statutory basis (the CDSA and the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act) applies to all persons and entities in Singapore, including those not formally regulated under a sector-specific AML/CFT regime.
Corporate Service Providers and Filing Agents
Corporate service providers (CSPs) and registered filing agents are regulated by ACRA under the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 and Corporate Service Providers Regulations 2025, which came into effect on 9 June 2025. CSPs must register with ACRA, implement AML/CFT/CPF controls including customer due diligence and screening, maintain records, and file STRs with STRO. The regime imposes obligations equivalent in structure to the MAS framework, recognising that CSPs occupy a gateway position in the incorporation and administration of legal entities. As of the 2024 CDSA amendments, ACRA has access to STRs filed by its regulated entities for supervisory purposes.
Public Accountants and Accounting Entities
Public accountants, accounting corporations, accounting firms, and accounting LLPs are regulated by ACRA under the Accountants (Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) Rules 2023. The rules require client screening against relevant ML/TF sources, CDD on clients and their beneficial owners, suspicious transaction reporting, and record-keeping. The obligations apply when accounting entities carry out specified client activities (including managing client assets, managing bank or securities accounts, organising corporate transactions, and providing company formation services). ACRA conducts inspections and imposes penalties for non-compliance.
Law Practices and Legal Practitioners
Law practices and lawyers in Singapore are subject to AML/CFT obligations under Part 5A of the Legal Profession Act 1966, which came into effect in May 2024 and applies when a law practice prepares or carries out transactions related to relevant activities including dealing in real estate, managing client assets or bank accounts, and providing trust company services. Key obligations include customer due diligence, refusal to act for anonymous clients, suspicious transaction reporting, and record-keeping. Compliance is supervised through a dual structure: the Law Society of Singapore inspects and oversees legal practitioners under Section 70F, while the Director of Legal Services under the Ministry of Law may suspend or revoke a law firm’s licence for contraventions under Sections 70H and 133.
Real Estate Agents and Salespersons
Real estate agents and salespersons are regulated by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) under the Estate Agents Act 2010. The CEA’s AML/CFT framework requires risk-based due diligence on buyers and sellers, particularly where luxury property purchases are funded through opaque offshore vehicles or complex ownership structures. The 2024 CDSA amendments allow the CEA to access STRs filed by its regulated entities. Real estate developers are separately regulated by the Controller of Housing under the Developers (Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing) Act 2018, which became fully effective in June 2023.
Precious Stones and Precious Metals Dealers (PSMDs)
Dealers in precious stones and precious metals (including jewellers, bullion traders, jewellery wholesalers and retailers, and secondhand goods dealers) are regulated by the Ministry of Law’s AML/CFT Division (ACD) under the Precious Stones and Precious Metals (Prevention of Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Proliferation Financing) Act and the PMLTF Regulations. PSMDs must register with MinLaw, implement AML/CFT/CPF controls, conduct CDD on customers, and report suspicious transactions. The MinLaw Compliance Toolkit, updated in July 2025, sets out the supervisory expectations for the PSMD sector. “Regulated dealing” includes selling, importing for sale, and manufacturing precious stones, precious metals, precious products, and asset-backed tokens.
Casinos and Gaming Operators
Casinos are regulated by the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) under the Casino Control Act 2006. The AMLOMA 2024 tightened casino AML/CFT requirements to align with FATF standards, including lowering the CDD threshold for patrons from S$5,000 to S$4,000, adding PF risk assessment requirements to casino CDD processes, and requiring cash transaction reports in addition to STRs given the higher cash transaction volumes and higher-risk customer profiles associated with casino operations.
Pawnbrokers
Pawnbrokers are regulated by the Insolvency and Public Trustees Office (IPTO) under the Pawnbrokers Act 2015. AML/CFT controls, CDD, and reporting obligations apply in the context of pawnbroking transactions, recognising the cash-intensive and collateral-based nature of the business.
Universal Obligations: CDSA and TSOFA
Even entities that are not formally regulated under a sector-specific AML/CFT regime are subject to obligations under the CDSA and the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act. Any person who deals with criminal proceeds or provides financial assistance to a terrorist commits an offence. The obligation to file an STR with STRO when a person has knowledge or reasonable grounds to suspect that a transaction involves criminal proceeds applies broadly: it is not limited to regulated entities. Cross-border cash declaration requirements apply to any individual moving physical currency or bearer negotiable instruments exceeding S$20,000 across Singapore’s borders.
FAQs: AML/CFT Compliance in Singapore
What is the difference between AML, CFT, and CPF?
Anti-money laundering (AML) covers controls to detect and prevent criminal proceeds from being legitimised through the financial system. Countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) covers controls to detect and prevent funds being used for terrorist activities. Countering proliferation financing (CPF) covers controls to detect and prevent funds being used to finance the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Since July 2025, all three are mandatory components of MAS-regulated AML/CFT programmes. The AMLOMA 2024 extended CPF assessment requirements to casino operators.
Does the AML/CFT framework apply to digital payment token (DPT) service providers?
Yes. DPT service providers licensed under the Payment Services Act must comply with MAS AML/CFT requirements under a dedicated notice. The requirements carry additional obligations around customer screening and transaction monitoring, reflecting the elevated ML/TF/PF risk profile of DPT activities, including enhanced controls for peer-to-peer transfers and interactions with unhosted wallets.
What is STRO and how does the reporting process work?
STRO is the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office, Singapore’s Financial Intelligence Unit, operating under the Commercial Affairs Department of the Singapore Police Force. When a regulated entity (or any person) identifies a suspicious transaction, an STR is filed through STRO’s SONAR platform within five business days of suspicion being established. For cases involving sanctioned parties, the deadline is one business day. STRO synthesises intelligence with information from law enforcement and supervisory sources, and since April 2024 operates the COSMIC platform enabling regulated institutions to share financial crime risk information on shared customers.
How often should the AML/CFT risk assessment be reviewed?
At minimum, annually. The risk assessment should also be reviewed whenever there is a material change to the institution’s business model, customer base, products, or regulatory environment. The July 2025 proliferation financing requirement is itself a review trigger, as is any significant shift in the institution’s exposure to high-risk customers or jurisdictions.
Can the AML/CFT compliance function be outsourced?
For payment service providers, yes. MAS permits the compliance function to be outsourced to a qualified third party, provided the licensee retains accountability, documents the arrangement, and discloses it to MAS where required. However, the FATF’s May 2026 evaluation specifically noted that institutions must be able to demonstrate effective oversight of outsourced controls on demand. Three Squared Nine’s fractional in-house compliance service is structured to satisfy this requirement for regulated entities. For fintechs building their AML/CFT framework before applying for a MAS licence, the pre-application requirements are covered in MAS Licensing in Singapore: What Fintechs Need to Know Before Applying.
My business is not regulated by MAS. Do I still have AML/CFT obligations?
Likely yes, depending on the nature of your business. Corporate service providers, lawyers, public accountants, real estate agents and developers, precious stones and metals dealers, pawnbrokers, and casino operators all have sector-specific AML/CFT obligations administered by their respective regulators. Beyond sector-specific obligations, the CDSA and TSOFA impose reporting obligations on all persons who know or reasonably suspect that a transaction involves criminal proceeds. If you are uncertain whether your business falls within a regulated DNFBP category, an early-stage regulatory mapping exercise is advisable before a supervisory inspection prompts the question.
Conclusion
AML/CFT compliance in Singapore is an ongoing operational function, not a one-time programme build. The five core components (risk assessment, CDD, transaction monitoring, STRO reporting, and internal governance) must function continuously and evolve with the business. The July 2025 proliferation financing update, the AMLOMA 2024, the CSP Act 2025, and Singapore’s May 2026 FATF evaluation all represent regulatory developments that require programme review. The obligation extends beyond MAS-regulated financial institutions: DNFBPs across corporate services, legal, accounting, real estate, precious metals, and gaming sectors all carry substantive AML/CFT/CPF obligations under their respective regulatory frameworks. Three Squared Nine’s financial services compliance service provides embedded AML/CFT programme support for MAS-regulated entities across all licence types, and for DNFBPs building or reviewing their compliance frameworks.
