In compliance with the requirements set out in Act CXXXVI of 2007 on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Money Laundering Act), the Magyar Nemzeti Bank issues model policies to providers for the preparation of policies on the prevention and combating of money laundering and terrorist financing. Below is a list of model policies developed by activity type.
Under Article 45(3) of the Act, newly established providers are required to submit their policies for approval together with their application for a licence. The MNB expects that each applicant submits a policy that complies with statutory requirements, and in which the applicant has developed the procedures appropriate to the risks arising from its activities and to its specific organisational features, as well as the standards of behaviour to be followed by its employees.
