Anti Money Laundering, Counter Financing Terrorism & know Your Client

The Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act (AML/CFT Act) 2009 and its Regulations place obligations on New Zealand's financial institutions to detect and deter money laundering and terrorism financing.
"Financial Market's Authority" (FMA) is one of three supervisors under the Act, along with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and Department of Internal Affairs.

Money laundering is how criminals disguise the illegal origins of their money. Financers of terrorism use similar techniques to money launderers to avoid detection by authorities and to protect the identity of those providing and receiving the funds.
