if the u.s. has fincen, canada has fintrac, australia has austrac, what would new zealand, uk, and ireland have as an equivalent? would anyone happen to know? rsvp
are these 3 from new zealand, uk, and ireland the equivalent of fincen, fintrac, and austrac in your opinion? rsvpTacitusKilgore said:
These pages should have some more info:
NZ: NZ Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)
UK: Money laundering and illicit finance - National Crime Agency
Ireland: Garda National Economic Crime Bureau
This page has other countries as well: Exchange instruments list | AUSTRAC

From having a brief look at their websites - in my opinion yes. They will basically try to monitor for suspicious transactions. I know that in Australia, AUSTRAC treats any transaction over $10,000 as suspicious. Banks must record certain information about parties in transactions above AUD 10K. And as far as I know, if required you must produce adequate documentation supporting that it's a legitimate and legal transaction. This is just in Australia but I'd say it's safe to assume that NZ, UK, and Ireland have that level of security. Especially the UK - England loves their needless red tape and bureaucracy.jamesbogosian said:
