School Savings Schemes Due Diligence Regulation
The Financial Market Authority (FMA) of Austria issued this regulation to establish a low risk of money laundering and terrorist financing for specific school savings schemes. It permits credit institutions to apply simplified due diligence measures for individual and collective class savings deposits held by minors. These measures allow identification via school ID cards or teacher-submitted lists without requiring legal representative involvement.
