Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorist Financing Regulations in Angola

Types of Transactions

Suspicious transactions must be reported, irrespective of the amounts involved. Subject entities must report all committed, attempted or ongoing activities they know, or reasonably suspect, are connected with the offences of money laundering, terrorism financing, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or any other criminal offence.

Reporting Requirements: Reports should be filed to the UIF (Unitário de Informação Financeira). Reports can be made in writing, via email (comunicacoes@uif.ao), or by other means indicated by the UIF. The report must be accompanied by a copy of all documents collected or records made.
Thresholds: No specific thresholds are mentioned for reporting suspicious transactions. Subject entities must report any activities they know, or reasonably suspect, are connected with the offences mentioned above.

Exceptions

None specified in the text.

Cross-Border Transactions Reporting Requirements

Refer to questions 3.6 and 3.7 above and question 3.17 below.

Customer Identification and Due Diligence Requirements

Subject entities must verify the identity of natural persons, legal entities, trusts, and other legal arrangements. They must identify ultimate beneficiaries, obtain information on the purpose and nature of business relationships, and maintain continued monitorization of business relationships.

Special or Enhanced Due Diligence: Special or enhanced due diligence requirements are applicable in certain cases (e.g., distance operations, operations involving politically exposed people).
Shell Banks: Banks and payment service providers are prevented from establishing correspondent relationships with shell banks.

Reporting Suspicious Activity

Subject entities must report all committed, attempted or ongoing activities they know, or reasonably suspect, are connected with the offences of money laundering, terrorism financing, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or any other criminal offence.

We are not aware of any mechanisms facilitating information sharing between financial institutions and other business subject to anti-money laundering controls. Subject entities are obligated to promptly provide the information requested by the UIF, supervisory authorities, and judicial authorities.

Beneficial Ownership and Control Information

There is not yet a Central Beneficiary Register in Angola. We do not have further information on who is responsible for maintaining this information or how it would be available to assist financial institutions with their anti-money laundering customer due diligence responsibilities as well as to government authorities.
