The Slovak Gazette has published an update to Slovakia's financial services regulatory framework. The announcement reflects the government's ongoing efforts to modernise its financial regulatory infrastructure and enhance service delivery to market participants and stakeholders. The update encompasses administrative and procedural changes designed to streamline regulatory operations within the financial services sector. These modifications address existing regulatory processes and institutional arrangements governing financial institutions operating under Slovak jurisdiction. The changes are applicable to financial institutions, credit institutions, e-money institutions, and other entities subject to Slovak financial services regulation. The update represents part of Slovakia's broader commitment to maintaining alignment with international financial regulatory standards and best practices. The Slovak authorities have made this information available through the Slov-Lex electronic service platform, which serves as the official publication channel for regulatory announcements and legislative updates in Slovakia. The platform enables stakeholders to access regulatory information and provide feedback on service improvements. Market participants and regulated entities should review the published materials to understand any modifications to existing regulatory requirements or administrative procedures that may affect their operations. Stakeholders are encouraged to engage with the regulatory framework updates and provide input to support continued refinement of Slovakia's financial services regulatory environment.

Slovakia's Slovak Gazette Publishes Amendment to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Legislation

On September 24, 2026, the Slovak Republic published Act No. 73/2026 in its official Collection of Laws (Zbierka zákonov), amending Act No. 297/2008 on the protection against the legalization of income from criminal activity and on the protection against the financing of terrorism and on amendments to certain laws, as amended (Act No. 297/2008). Act 73/2026 also introduces amendments to and supplements several other laws. The legislation is available via Slov-Lex, Slovakia's official electronic legal information service. Act No. 297/2008 concerns protection against the legalization of income from criminal activity and against the financing of terrorism — areas that correspond to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF). Act 73/2026 amends and supplements this legislative framework alongside introducing corresponding changes to other related legislation. The act represents a consolidated approach, addressing modifications to Act No. 297/2008 and amendments to additional associated laws within a single legislative instrument. Entities operating in Slovakia that are subject to AML/CTF obligations under Act No. 297/2008 should review the full text of Act 73/2026 to identify the specific provisions introduced and assess whether adjustments to their compliance arrangements are required. The full text of Act 73/2026 is available via Slov-Lex.

Slovakia Publishes Law Amending AML Act in the Official Gazette

On April 14, 2026, the Law Amending and Supplementing Act No.297/2008 Coll. on protection against legalisation of proceeds from crime and on protection against financing of terrorism and on amending and supplementing certain acts was published in the official gazette. Key amendments include: If the obliged entity suspects that the client is preparing or carrying out unusual business transactions and there is reason to believe that further application of due diligence measures may reveal this suspicion, it does not need to continue due diligence in relation to the client. Instead, the obliged entity is obligated to proceed with reporting of the unusual business transaction. This report shall include justification as to why due diligence measures were not carried out. The obliged entity shall verify the information relating to the identification of the ultimate beneficial owner by obtaining it from reliable sources and applying a risk-based approach, while it may not rely solely on data obtained from the register of legal entities. These amendments come into effect on June 1, 2026, except for Article XI, points 14 and 15, which shall enter into force on July 10, 2026.
