JFSC clarification on AMLSP Schedule 2 applications

Following some confusion, the JFSC has provided clear and concise guidance [see below] on the process for Schedule 2 applications, particularly when a regulated entity is acting as an anti-money laundering service provider.

The key facts are

1. If you appoint an AMLSP for a Schedule 2 application, then the AMLSP must apply for registration on your behalf through the AMLSP appointment to the relevant person workbook.
2. If you want to apply for schedule 2 registration and wish to avoid appointing an AMLSP, submit a Supervisory Bodies Law (SBL) form through myJFSC.
