ECSH40540 - Evidence required to confirm that a business is registered with another regulatory body

Supervisory bodies 

If a business advises that it has or has previously had supervision with another supervisory body you can ask the business for evidence of its supervision. This will usually be evidenced by a document from the supervisory body confirming membership. A professional body may have different membership packages which means that being a member of a professional body does not always include supervision under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017). 

You must ensure that the evidence provided specifically states that business is supervised under MLR 2017 by the professional body. 

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) 

If a business advises that it has anti-money laundering supervision with the FCA you can check this by going to the FCA website and searching the FCA register with the business name and postcode. You can also use the FCA reference number to search the register if it has been provided to you.
