2026 Mid-Year Money Laundering Regulations Updates for Financial Services

Introduction

In 2025, the Government published a number of policy changes following a 2024 consultation on improving the Money Laundering Regulations (MLR). The Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment and Miscellaneous Provision) Regulations 2026, which give effect to those changes, were made on 9 June 2026 with most of the changes coming into effect on 30 June 2026. The aim of the amendments is to close regulatory loopholes, address concerns about proportionality and account for evolving risks in money laundering and terrorist financing.

This webinar will provide an overview of the changes and their impact with a focus on financial services businesses. It will also provide a wider view of the MLR compliance picture in 2026.
