Factsheet
Institutions governed by the Wwft are required to take measures aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. This means they must aim to detect unusual transaction patterns and customer transactions. They must immediately report any unusual transactions, both conducted and intended, to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-NL).
Section 23 of the Wwft imposes a duty of confidentiality on the institutions, under which they must not disclose to the customer the fact that they have made a report to FIU-NL pursuant to Section 16 of the Wwft. Exceptions are possible in so far as they arise from the law.
See the FIU-NL website for more information about the duty to report.
