The EBA finds divergences in the issuance and regulation of ‘virtual IBANs’ across the EU, identifies issues, and provides recommendations on how to address them
The European Banking Authority (EBA) today published a Report on the issuance of what is commonly referred to as ‘virtual IBANs’ (vIBANs). In the absence of a common definition, the Report observes that the industry issues vIBANs in different ways and for different purposes and national authorities diverge in interpreting and applying regulatory requirements. The Report also identifies resulting issues in terms of money laundering and terrorist financing, consumer and depositor protection, authorisation and passporting, and regulatory arbitrage, and provides recommendations on how to address them.
Joint Controllership Arrangements - EuReCA
The EBA will start collecting information on natural persons through its AML/CFT database, EuReCA
Starting from May 2024, supervisors across the European Union (EU) will be able to report names of natural persons to EuReCA, the EU central database on anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) of the European Banking Authority (EBA). Through EuReCA, the EBA has been able to contribute to making supervision more informed, targeted and effective. With this step, the EBA will contribute to further strengthening the fight against money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) in the EU.
