Indicators

Indicators

The indicators determine the unusual nature of a transaction. They also describe in which situations money laundering and / or terrorist financing might be involved. Upon designation as unusual, a transaction must be reported promptly, within 5 business days. The indicators apply to all financial and designated non-financial service providers, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

The indicators are divided into objective and subjective indicators. Reporting is mandatory for objective indicators. Reporting under the subjective indicators is also mandatory if the service provider deems that the situation described in the indicator is applicable.
