Updated FATF warning lists guide financial institutions' AML checks
De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) reminds financial institutions to take updated Financial Action Task Force (FATF) warning lists into account when applying anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures.
Two lists distinguish jurisdiction risks
The FATF has updated its warning lists of jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in their anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regimes.
DNB directs financial institutions to its FATF warning lists page for the current lists.
The two categories are High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action, commonly called the black list, and Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring, commonly called the grey list.
DNB says financial institutions must take these lists into account when applying AML/CFT measures in relation to the countries concerned.
The notice does not name individual jurisdictions or specify additions or removals.
Three updates each year
The FATF releases its jurisdiction lists three times a year.
Both lists concern strategic deficiencies in national AML/CFT regimes, but their formal titles distinguish a call for action from increased monitoring.
DNB presents the November 2026 update as a supervisory news item and directs readers to the current lists rather than reproducing them.
Its reminder concerns institutions' application of AML/CFT measures with respect to the listed countries.
Country changes require another check
The notice directs institutions to the current lists rather than documenting country-level changes.
It therefore does not establish which jurisdiction classifications have changed.
Readers need the linked lists to identify the countries covered by each category.
