Travel Rule from a Jurisdictiononal viewpoint

FATF R. 16 is just a recommendation and it is up to each jurisdiction to interpret and to define appropriate legislation. As such, this has led to:

  • Staggered enforcement dates (the "sunrise issue")

  • Different de-minimus thresholds

  • Different sender/receiver data requirements, e.g.:

    • Canada: beneficiary (…​) address

    • Estonia: originator national ID number, date of birth, and other info

    • Singapore: originator national ID

The following pages give a breakdown of the current known requirements per jurisdiction. New countries (jurisdictions) are added continuously. If you spot an error or would like to make a contribution, please see: Make a contribution.
