AML/KYC & beneficial ownership

Banks, investors and regulators ask who really owns and controls a company. We map ownership structures, verify integrity and prepare files that withstand supervisory scrutiny.

Who it is for

  • Financial institutions and other entities with anti-money-laundering obligations
  • Foreign investors buying or incorporating companies in Albania
  • Companies declaring their beneficial owners

What we do

  • Know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering policies and risk assessments
  • Beneficial ownership mapping across multi-layered and cross-border structures
  • Screening of buyers and investors
  • Files for the approval of directors and qualifying holdings
  • Staff training

Legal basis & regulators

  • Law no. 9917/2008 "On the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing"
  • Law no. 112/2020 "On the register of beneficial owners"
  • EU anti-money-laundering directives
