Regulation on Minimum Requirements for Organizing Internal Control in Commercial Banks to Counter the Financing of Criminal Activity and Legalization (Laundering) of Criminal Proceeds

This Regulation, last amended on October 1, 2026, sets minimum internal control requirements for commercial banks, microfinance companies, OJSC "Financial Company of Credit Unions", and housing savings credit companies in the Kyrgyz Republic regarding anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). It mandates the implementation of an internal control program, including annual risk assessments, comprehensive client due diligence, and reporting suspicious operations to the financial intelligence unit. Notably, the regulation introduces new obligations for banks to employ automated tools, including blockchain analytics, for monitoring virtual asset operations and to identify high-risk virtual asset transactions based on specific criteria such as untraceable wallets or anonymity-enhancing services. Banks must also establish internal procedures for managing virtual asset-related risks and assess their resources before engaging with clients or counterparties involved in virtual assets.
