The Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has implemented guidelines for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) for financial institutions in Malawi. These guidelines aim to prevent and combat money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as protect the integrity of the country’s financial system.

• Internal Controls: Institutions must have effective internal controls in place to prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing.

Reporting Requirements
