FAQs

The AML Risk Evaluation Questionnaire (REQ) is a regulatory return issued by the Central Bank of Ireland to collect information relating to AML/CFT and financial sanctions risk exposure, governance and control frameworks across regulated firms.

The requirement depends on the sector-specific guidance issued by the Central Bank of Ireland. AML REQs currently apply across a range of regulated entities, including Credit Institutions, Payment Institutions, Electronic Money Institutions, Investment Firms, Crypto-Asset Service Providers, Life Insurance Firms, and Credit Unions.

The AML REQ is an annual regulatory return. Firms are required to submit data based on the prescribed reference date outlined in the relevant guidance notes.

The Central Bank requires AML REQ submissions to be made in XML format using the prescribed XSD schema. Excel files may be provided for reference purposes, but cannot be submitted.
