Banking Fraud Types in Algeria: Understanding the Risks and Regulatory Landscape

Algeria’s banking sector has been grappling with various types of fraud, including money laundering and terrorist financing. To combat these threats, the country has implemented robust anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations.

Regulatory Landscape

The Bank of Algeria (Banque d’Algérie) and Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTRF) are responsible for enforcing AML/KYC regulations in the country. The primary KYC/AML regulation is Law No. 15-01 on the Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism.

Data Protection Regulations

Data protection regulations in Algeria are protected by Law No. 18-07 of 25 Ramadhan 1439 Relating to the Protection of Individuals in the Processing of Personal Data. However, the country lacks a dedicated data protection authority. Despite this, businesses operating in Algeria must adhere to global data processing standards to avoid regulatory challenges.
