The AML REQ assesses exposure to Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Financial Sanctions risks across Credit and Payment Institutions. The CBI has expanded and digitised this report, moving from Excel to XML submission formats to standardise data and improve the accuracy of sector-wide risk analysis.

Does it affect me?
If you’re a Credit Institution or Payment Institution regulated by the CBI, you’ll need to complete the updated AML REQ using the new XML submission format. The questionnaire is more detailed, with up to 765 fields for payment institutions, requiring enhanced data preparation.
What do I need to do?
Gather your AML, sanctions, and customer risk data early. ARKK’s Regulatory Portal provides XML-ready templates, built-in validations, and roll-forward functionality to simplify the transition from Excel and ensure your data meets the CBI’s new structure and consistency rules.
What's the deadline?
The 2024 AML REQ must be filed by 27 February 2026. The 2025 report is due by the end of August 2026, after which the submission becomes an annual requirement. Preparing now ensures your data and systems are XML-ready before the deadlines.
The ARKK regulatory reporting portal takes care of all your XML conversions.
