Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China, in collaboration with financial regulatory bodies, has drafted a consultation document for a new management approach to customer due diligence and transaction record-keeping, aimed at enhancing anti-money laundering (AML) measures and aligning with international standards [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The new management approach is a response to the implementation of the revised Anti-Money Laundering Law, which took effect on January 1, 2024, emphasizing risk-based customer due diligence [1][2]. - The approach aims to address the shortcomings in the effectiveness of due diligence practices observed in some financial institutions, which have been criticized for applying uniform measures regardless of varying risk levels [2][3]. Group 2: Risk Management - The management approach emphasizes a risk-based principle, requiring financial institutions to tailor their due diligence measures according to the risk profile of clients, thereby avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach [2][3]. - It introduces simplified measures for low-risk scenarios, enhancing the convenience of normal financial operations while reserving enhanced due diligence for high-risk situations related to money laundering or terrorist financing [2][3]. Group 3: Public Service and Compliance - The management approach aims to balance risk prevention with the need to ensure public access to financial services, avoiding excessive scrutiny of routine transactions, such as cash deposits and withdrawals above 50,000 yuan, unless high risk is identified [3]. - It reiterates existing international rules regarding cross-border remittances, specifically the requirement to provide accurate sender information for transactions exceeding 1,000 USD, reinforcing compliance with global AML obligations [3].

Group 3: Public Service and Compliance - The management measures balance risk prevention with the need to ensure public access to financial services, specifying that not all cash transactions over 50,000 yuan require source verification, but only those with higher money laundering risks [3]. - The measures reaffirm existing international rules regarding cross-border remittances, requiring the transmission of true remitter information for transactions over 1,000 USD, thereby enhancing compliance without imposing new burdens [3]. - The guidelines provided by the management measures are expected to improve the overall risk management capabilities of the financial industry and strengthen compliance, thereby reducing the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing [3].

近日，中国人民银行联合国家金融监督管理总局、中国证券监督管理委员会研究起草了《金融机构 客户尽职调查和客户身份资料及交易记录保存管理办法（征求意见稿）》，向社会公开征求意见。 业内专家认为，制定《管理办法》是落实反洗钱法和迎接国际评估的必然之举。2024年11月修订通 过的《中华人民共和国反洗钱法》已经于今年1月1日起正式施行，该法明确了基于风险开展客户尽职调 查的原则，要求金融机构开展客户尽职调查应当根据客户特征和交易活动的性质、风险状况进行。 交通银行内控合规部副总经理戴浩然介绍，《管理办法》关于基于风险开展客户尽职调查的要求， 除落实反洗钱法、适应国内实践需要外，也与反洗钱国际标准和国际通行做法相一致。今年底，我国将 迎来新一轮反洗钱国际评估。该评估是衡量一国反洗钱水平的重要标尺，评估结果关乎我国扩大金融行 业高水平对外开放的工作大局。 "在全球化背景下，中国积极履行国际反洗钱义务，反映了监管对金融安全与稳定的重视。"博通咨 询首席分析师王蓬博认为，《管理办法》为金融机构提供了操作指南，有助于提升整个行业的风险管理 水平，也有助于加强金融机构的合规性，减少洗钱、恐怖融资等非法活动的风险，进一步维护金融市 ...

交通银行内控合规部副总经理戴浩然介绍，《管理办法》关于基于风险开展客户尽职调查的要求，除落 实反洗钱法、适应国内实践需要外，也与反洗钱国际标准和国际通行做法相一致。今年底，我国将迎来 新一轮反洗钱国际评估。该评估是衡量一国反洗钱水平的重要标尺，评估结果关乎我国扩大金融行业高 水平对外开放的工作大局。 《管理办法》在防范风险的同时，注重保障公众正常金融服务需求。例如，未要求对5万元以上现金存 取业务一律核查资金来源和用途，而是规定仅对洗钱风险较高的情形强化尽职调查，避免过度干预普通 民众日常金融活动。在跨境汇款领域，《管理办法》重申了执行20余年的国际规则——1000美元以上跨 境汇款需传递真实汇款人信息，旨在确保身份真实准确，防范风险，并非新增要求。 从金融业实践看，2007年《反洗钱法》施行以来，金融机构持续健全反洗钱内控制度，依法开展客户尽 职调查工作，完善洗钱预防措施。但近年来出现的洗钱风险案例暴露出部分金融机构尽职调查有效性不 足的问题。比如，有的机构对不同风险状况的客户采取"一刀切"措施，有的忽视业务存续期间的风险变 化，导致资源错配和风险隐患。 "在全球化背景下，中国积极履行国际反洗钱义务，反映了 ...

Group 1: Regulatory Context - The regulation aims to address the regulatory gap in the precious metals and gemstones sector, which is often exploited for money laundering due to its high value and portability [1]. - The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has classified precious metals and gemstones traders as specific non-financial institutions, requiring them to comply with anti-money laundering obligations [2]. - The 100,000 RMB cash threshold is seen as a balance between regulatory efficiency and cost, aligning with international standards [2].
