Course Overview

The 5^th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD5) and the eIDAS regulation are becoming two dynamic regulatory frameworks and topics to explore, due to the way they are set to refine and revolutionize the world of business and particularly the European Financial Industry.  These new regulations on trust services in EU and anti-money laundering, have now redefined the concept of EU Digital Single Market, creating roadmaps and unlocking opportunities for financial companies to operate and thrive.

The introduction of the AMLD5, is a major development towards a uniform framework for regulators across the EU, as it exemplifies the effort to bring crypto asset activity within the regulatory ambit by introducing relevant provisions and imposing relevant obligations to traditional and new providers and their activities in this area.  In essence, the AMLD5 intends to make the legal situation on the cryptocurrency market more transparent and it is enriched with regulations related to cryptocurrency businesses, aiming to strengthen the barriers to fight against money laundering and restrain terrorist financing.

eIDAS regulation offers consistency and conformity within the EU Member States in relation to trust services while encouraging the legally predictable application of such services by businesses and creating a resilient framework to place trustworthy digital transactions in the heart of business relationships. The regulation provides the conditions for recognizing simple, advanced and qualified trust services.  eIDAS offers the supervisory measures and standards of trust services as well.

At the same time, Blockchain, the technology that has begun gaining traction, plays an important role for the future of preventing money laundering, enhancing KYC/AML compliance regimes and enabling the execution of trustworthy digital transactions.

This training course is designed to explore AMLD5 and eIDAS as the game changers of the European Financial Industry.  The course also explores Blockchain technology and it encourages participants to consider its potential impact for both, the future of electronic transactions as well as for the prevention of money laundering and the improvement of KYC/AML compliance regimes.  At the end of the training course, participants will comprehend that the relationship between AMLD5, eIDAS and Blockchain Technology is very close.
