A Guide to Anti-Money Laundering for Crypto Firms
After 4MLD cut the monthly transaction limit on prepaid cards to €250 (a measure to combat terrorist financing), 5MLD – 5th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive sets an even lower limit of €150 – this limit also applies to the amount which can be stored on the cards. Similarly, online transaction limits are reduced to €50. Christopher Baines the Head of Compliance at Pockit said: “the directive is definitely a step in the right direction, it reduces the number of options for criminals”.
