The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism has invited obliged entities, trade associations and other representative bodies from the financial and non-financial sectors to participate in sectoral roundtables on simplified customer due diligence. Stakeholder experience will inform draft guidelines aimed at promoting consistent, effective and proportionate due diligence in situations presenting a lower degree of money laundering and terrorist financing risk. The in-person meetings are expected to take place in Frankfurt am Main from Nov. 9 to Dec. 2, 2026. The authority particularly seeks participation from the non-financial sector and sectors facing specific challenges in applying customer due diligence requirements. Expressions of interest are due by 11:59 p.m. CEST on Oct. 18, 2026. The roundtables are not a public consultation, and a formal consultation on the draft guidelines will follow later.
