- every type of obliged entity
The final text has been adopted or submitted to the Commission but is not yet published in the Official Journal, so it does not apply yet.
What it covers
Six standard templates and minimum content for every FIU-to-FIU exchange over FIU.net: spontaneous exchanges, requests, responses, feedback, cross-border reports and cross-border disseminations, with simplified consent rules for the further use and dissemination of the information. Consulted through a public hearing on 27 May 2026; approved by the General Board on 30 June 2026; final report published on 3 July 2026 and submitted to the Commission. Certain requirements apply from 2027, machine-readable fields from 2028; FIU.net itself transfers to AMLA by 2027.
What it means in practice
No direct obligations for obliged entities. Together with the RTS on cross-border information exchange it determines how quickly a report with a foreign link reaches the other FIU.
