The United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) impose international sanctions against countries, organisations, companies, and individuals. These may include financial sanctions. Financial institutions have a role in ensuring compliance with these sanctions.
Financial institutions are not allowed to facilitate payments to and from accounts of sanctioned parties or provide financial services to them. This means, among other things, blocking the accounts of these parties.
In the Netherlands, these obligations are laid down in the Sanctions Regulation. With this awareness e-learning, we bring you up to speed on the requirements that the sanctions regulation imposes on financial institutions and their employees.
