VASP – Application for registration
Information about
Virtual Asset Service Provider application for registration information
VASPs are “designated persons” for the purposes of the CJA 2010 to 2021 and are required to comply with the AML/CFT obligations contained under Part 4 of the CJA 2010 to 2021.
Applicant Firms applying for AML/CFT registration will have to submit an application to the Central Bank. In order for the Central Bank to approve an application for registration, the Central Bank must be satisfied that an Applicant Firm’s AML/CFT policies and procedures are effective in combatting the money laundering and terrorist financing (‘ML/TF’) risks associated with its business model, and an Applicant Firm’s management and beneficial owners are fit and proper.
Each applicant seeking registration must satisfy the Central Bank that it can meet its obligations under the CJA 2010 to 2021. In fulfilling its statutory role in this regard, the Central Bank adopts a robust, structured and risk-based process that seeks to ensure that only those applicants that demonstrate that they are in a position to comply are registered.
The Central Bank will process each application for registration as expeditiously as possible, while meeting its obligation to operate a rigorous and effective gatekeeper function.
