Financial Institutions’ AML Programs in Egypt: Compliance Challenges and Opportunities
In the wake of digital transformation, financial institutions in Egypt face an increased risk of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. To combat these threats, the country has implemented a robust regulatory framework, mandating compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
Regulatory Requirements
The Central Bank of Egypt, through its 2003 regulations for banks, and the Financial Regulatory Authority’s “Anti Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” Decree no. 2/2021, require financial institutions to establish adequate policies, procedures, and controls to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties, reputational damage, and even criminal charges.
Challenges with Traditional Approaches
Despite the importance of AML compliance, many financial institutions struggle with inefficient and costly processes. Traditional approaches rely on manual interventions, which can be time- consuming, prone to errors, and lack transparency. In contrast, technology-based solutions can automate key AML processes, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and improving risk management.
