The Financial Intelligence Centre

The Financial Intelligence Centre was established under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act, 2001, in February 2002. The Centre started receiving reports on suspicious and unusual transactions on 3 February 2003.

The Financial Intelligence Centre Act also sets up a regulatory anti-money laundering regime which is intended to break the cycle used by organised criminal groups to benefit from illegitimate profits. By doing this the Act aims to maintain the integrity of the financial system. Apart from the regulatory regime the Act also creates the Financial Intelligence Centre.
