ECSH43545 - Registration exemptions by sector: High value dealers

Although the scenarios below are not Regulation 15 exclusions, they are worth considering as out of scope of Regulation 14

A business does not need to register as a high value dealer (HVD) for anti-money laundering supervision if: 

  • They only receive payments for services or goods and services where the value of the goods are less than 10,000 euros, this can be in a single transaction or in several smaller transactions which appear to be linked. 

  • They are only ever paid large amounts by credit card, debit card or cheque. 

A business must register for anti-money laundering supervision straight away if it decides that it will accept or make high value cash payments.
