With AMLR coming into effect in July 2027, many AML teams are asking the same questions: What does being AMLR-ready mean in practice? Do our current capabilities support the upcoming expectations? How can we align what we already have with what AMLR demands?

While most organisations understand that AMLR will affect existing AML processes, many remain uncertain about what implementation will look like in practice.

To better understand how organisations are approaching AMLR readiness, we gathered insights directly from professionals working with AML on a daily basis. 

The report explores how prepared teams feel, where they experience the greatest challenges, and which capabilities they consider most critical for successful AMLR compliance.
