The update establishes standardized information requirements for fund transfers and virtual asset transfers, which are core payment and settlement functions provided by financial institutions to support transaction transparency and AML/CFT compliance.
Virtual asset transfer requirements suggest a secondary dimension involving digital assets; however, the primary focus is on payment infrastructure and fund transfer transparency rather than investment or custodial services for digital assets.
Specialism
The guidance establishes standardized information requirements for fund transfers and virtual asset transfers to support AML/CTF compliance and enhance transaction traceability, which are core AML/CTF regulatory obligations.
Mandatory inheritance: AML/CTF is a child of Financial Crime, so Financial Crime must be raised as the secondary tag.

TITLE: Iceland's Central Bank Publishes European Banking Authority Guidelines on Fund Transfer Information Requirements
BODY:
On March 26, 2026, Seðlabanki Íslands (Central Bank of Iceland) published guidance implementing European Banking Authority (EBA) guidelines on information requirements accompanying transfers of funds and certain virtual assets.
The guidance, referenced as EBA/GL/2024/11, establishes standardised requirements for information that must accompany fund transfers and transfers of certain virtual assets within Iceland's jurisdiction. The guidelines aim to enhance transparency and traceability in payment transactions while supporting compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations. The requirements apply to financial institutions and other entities involved in processing fund transfers and virtual asset transfers.
The Central Bank of Iceland has issued this guidance as Circular 7/2026 to ensure consistent implementation of EBA standards across Icelandic financial institutions. The publication includes the full text of the EBA guidelines in Icelandic translation to facilitate compliance by regulated entities operating within Iceland's financial system.
