This update is purely procedural and administrative guidance on AML/CTF compliance processes with no specific product or service focus, making it difficult to assign a primary tag from the FS taxonomy.
The guidance applies broadly across all regulated financial sectors (banks, investment firms, insurers, PSPs) but contains no substantive product or service content that would justify Investment Services as a secondary tag.
Specialism
The update directly addresses AML/CTF processes and guidance that obligated institutions must incorporate into their internal procedures, which is core anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulation.
Mandatory inheritance: AML/CTF is a child of Financial Crime, so Financial Crime must be raised as the secondary tag.

TITLE: Poland's Financial Supervision Authority Publishes Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Position
BODY:
On March 19, 2026, the Office of the Financial Supervision Commission (Urząd Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego – UKNF), Poland's financial regulator, published a position statement regarding anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) processes that obligated institutions must incorporate into their internal procedures.
The position statement provides guidance on how obligated institutions (IO) supervised by the Financial Supervision Commission (Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego – KNF) should address AML/CTF processes when developing their internal regulations and procedures. The statement outlines the manner in which processes implemented in the scope of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing should be considered by supervised institutions when establishing their AML/CTF procedures.
The position applies to all obligated institutions under KNF supervision across Poland's financial sectors, including banks, investment firms, insurance undertakings, payment service providers, and other regulated entities subject to AML/CTF obligations. The guidance is designed to ensure consistent application of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements across the regulated financial sector and to strengthen the effectiveness of Poland's financial system in combating financial crime.
Obligated institutions should review the position statement and ensure their internal AML/CTF procedures align with the guidance provided by UKNF. The position statement is available on the UKNF website.
