Regulated and Secure Financial Services In Anguilla

Today, no financial services jurisdiction can hope to succeed unless it is well regulated. Anguilla is no exception.

The offshore financial services sector in Anguilla is the responsibility of the Governor, although day to day regulation is delegated to the Department of Financial Services. In carrying out its functions and in considering applications by organizations wishing to establish businesses within the sector, the Department aims to adopt a firm but flexible regulatory approach.

It is of paramount concern to the Government that Anguilla's reputation is not tainted by the use of the jurisdiction for money laundering or other illegal purposes. For this reason, all licensed institutions are expected to carry out proper due diligence and "know your customer" checks so that they are satisfied as to the identity of their clients and the legitimate origin of their clients' funds.
