About this statute

This part introduces the anti-money-laundering law, lists who it applies to, and defines key terms used in the law. Section 114 bans certain large cash and card-related payments and sets AML/customer-due-diligence duties for covered businesses and persons. Regulated firms and persons must inform customers about personal-data rules, use enhanced due diligence in higher-risk cases, report beneficial-owner mismatches, avoid shell-bank correspondent ties, and keep data use limited to anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism purposes. Virksomheder og personer skal straks underrette Hvidvasksekretariatet om mistænkelige transaktioner og kan i nogle tilfælde skulle standse en transaktion, opbevare oplysninger og følge særlige regler om oplysning og indefrysning. Section 35 prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers and former employees, requires certain AML-related reporting and confidentiality, and sets conditions for currency-exchange licensing and reporting.
