Abstract
This article focuses on analysing the scope, requirements and conditions for outsourcing as regards anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) duties. The discussion is aimed at determining whether such outsourcing constitutes an independent and normatively separate type of bank outsourcing.
The main conclusion of the analysis is that the outsourcing of AML/CFT duties does not constitute an independent type of outsourcing that can be identified in banking operations. It does, however, introduce specific legal requirements affecting the permissible scope of outsourced activities and the rules for shaping the contractual relationship between the obliged institution and its insourcer.
