Anti-Money Laundering Council(AMLCS)

Dear Ms. Cabiles, Thank you for your request dated 27 October 2021 under Executive Order No. 2 (S. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. Your request is: Hi! I would like to request for the following: 1. Schedule of Seminar for AMLA Certification 2. Requirements for AMLA Certification. Thank you! In this regard, please be advised that, for the month of November, the AMLC will offer a Webinar for DNFBPs on 19 November 2021. Should the available AMLC webinar not be suitable for your purposes, you may also refer to the list of AMLC Accredited Trainers at http://www.amlc.gov.ph/images/PDFs/List%20of%20ACCREDITED%20TRAINERS%20for%20Posting%20-%2027%20SEPTEMBER%202021.pdf. As for the requirement for AMLC certificate of registration, pursuant to Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 AMLC Registration and Reporting Guidelines (ARRG), the only requirement for the registration of an entity which is in the process of registering with the BSP is the proof of designation of the Compliance Officer (CO), Associated Persons (APs), or Primary Designated Officers (PDOs). In the case of a remittance company, which is a money service business (MSB), any of the following documents should be uploaded in the AMLC Portal in PDF format: (a) Secretary Certificate and/or Board/Partnership Resolution and/or General Information Sheet; or (b) Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Certificate, as well as a Document, notarized and signed by the owner, designating the PDO, if the PDO is not the owner. Upon registration, the entity will be provided a Provisional Certificate of Registration (PCOR), which it can use to support its application for BSP registration. Once the entity is registered with the BSP and given an institution code, the AMLC registration should be updated for the issuance of a Certificate of Registration (COR). The step-by-step registration procedure is laid down under Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 ARRG.
