Classification

Service
Anti-Money Laundering (85%)

The update mandates AML/CFT due diligence and risk assessment procedures for regulated payment and financial service providers in response to FATF grey-list changes, which is core anti-money laundering compliance.

Enforcement - Payments Institution (65%)

Low confidence — requires human review. While the update affects multiple regulated entities including payment institutions, the content is primarily AML-focused rather than specific to a particular payment service type.

Specialism
Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) (92%)

The update directly addresses FATF grey list changes requiring FMA-regulated entities to conduct enhanced customer due diligence and risk assessments for jurisdictions with deficient AML/CTF regimes, which is core AML/CTF regulatory activity.

Supervision (85%)

The FMA's directive update represents ongoing supervisory oversight requiring regulated entities to review and update their compliance frameworks in response to FATF determinations.

Im Zusammenhang mit der Länderliste A möchte die FMA informieren, dass die FATF in ihrer Plenarsitzung vom Februar 2026 ihre Liste betreffend Länder unter Beobachtung («Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring»; sog. «grey list») aktualisiert hat.

TITLE: Austria's Financial Market Authority Updates Country List Following Financial Action Task Force Monitoring Changes BODY: On February 18, 2026, Austria's Financial Market Authority (FMA) announced an update to Country List A of FMA Directive 2013/1 in response to changes made by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). During its February 2026 plenary session, the FATF updated its list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring, commonly referred to as the "grey list". The FATF added Kuwait and Papua New Guinea to this list of countries subject to heightened scrutiny for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing compliance. The FMA's update to Country List A reflects these FATF determinations. Country List A is used by the FMA to identify jurisdictions with deficient anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regimes. Financial service providers and other regulated entities under FMA supervision must take these country classifications into account when conducting customer due diligence, assessing money laundering and terrorism financing risks, and implementing appropriate controls and monitoring procedures. The updated Country List A is now in effect. Financial institutions and other FMA-regulated entities should review their policies, procedures, and customer relationships in light of Kuwait and Papua New Guinea's addition to the FATF grey list and ensure their compliance frameworks reflect these changes accordingly.
