Periodic questionnaire on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing

Financial institutions, including credit institutions, stockbroking firms, insurance undertakings, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, and settlement institutions, must submit completed periodic questionnaires via the OneGate platform by 15 May 2026. The submission covers data for the previous calendar year and requires the completion of a new form assessing eligibility for direct supervision by the European Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) based on the criterion of operating in at least six Member States. Institutions must report specific quantitative data, such as the total number of customers and annual transaction volumes for cross-border activities under the freedom to provide services, to verify the materiality of their presence in other Member States.

By means of this circular, the National Bank of Belgium seeks to obtain standardised information from financial institutions in order to strengthen its risk-based approach to the exercise of its statutory supervisory powers in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. In addition, this edition of the questionnaire anticipates the operationalisation of the future European AntiMoney Laundering Authority (AMLA) and contributes to preparing for greater European convergence of supervisory practices.
