Summary

EDPB and AMLA to develop joint guidance on AML information sharing.

02/07/2026

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) have announced that they will jointly develop guidelines on information sharing under the new EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR).

Article 75 of the AMLR, which will apply from 10 July 2027, allows obliged entities to share information with each other and with public authorities to help detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. As this involves the processing of personal data, the joint guidance will clarify how organisations can comply with both AML and data protection requirements.

The guidelines are intended to provide practical direction for obliged entities, supervisors, FIUs and data protection authorities. Later this year, the EDPB and AMLA will gather feedback from stakeholders to identify areas that require further clarification, followed by a public consultation on the draft guidelines in the first half of 2027.
