On August 6, 2026, the European Union Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) launched a survey inviting Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Service Providers (PSPs) to provide feedback on their experience with the current Central Contact Point (CCP) framework established under Article 45(9) of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD) and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1108. AMLA is conducting this survey as part of its preparatory work on an upcoming Regulatory Technical Standard addressing Article 41(2) of the AMLD. The exercise aims to gather practical insights into how the existing CCP framework has been implemented across the European Union, including how CCP arrangements function in practice, their effectiveness, and any operational challenges institutions have encountered. The feedback will inform the development of future standards grounded in real-world experience. In parallel, AMLA is conducting a separate survey targeting national competent authorities to gather supervisory perspectives on the framework. Crypto-asset service providers are excluded from this exercise, as the previous CCP framework did not apply to them. Market participants are encouraged to share their perspectives, as input from institutions is essential to support AMLA's work and ensure that future standards reflect practical experience. The survey will remain open until September 15, 2026. Following completion of the exercise, AMLA will publish a report presenting the main findings from both surveys. Institutions wishing to participate can respond via AMLA's survey portal.
