TITLE: Uruguay Enacts Law 20.469 Amending Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Regulations
BODY:
On March 19, 2026, Uruguay's National Secretariat for the Fight Against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing (SecretarÃa Nacional para la Lucha contra el Lavado de Activos y el Financiamiento del Terrorismo) promulgated Law 20.469, which introduces amendments to the country's anti-money laundering, terrorism financing, and proliferation financing framework.
The law modifies several articles of Law 19.574 (Comprehensive Law Against Money Laundering) of December 20, 2017, and its subsequent amendments. Additionally, Law 20.469 introduces changes to Article 10 of Law 18.401 (Organic Charter of the Central Bank of Uruguay) of October 24, 2008; Article 35 of Law 19.210 (Financial Inclusion Law) of April 29, 2014; and Article 11 of Law 19.696 (National State Intelligence System) of October 29, 2018. These amendments reflect Uruguay's ongoing efforts to strengthen its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing compliance framework and align its regulatory structure across multiple legislative instruments governing financial institutions, central banking operations, financial inclusion initiatives, and national security intelligence functions.
The full text of Law 20.469 is available from the National Secretariat for the Fight Against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing. Obligated subjects and relevant stakeholders should review the amendments to ensure compliance with the updated regulatory requirements.
