Questions KYC, KYB et AML pour Zambie
Who is Zambia's financial intelligence unit?+
The Financial Intelligence Centre is Zambia's financial intelligence unit and the statutory agency that receives, analyses and disseminates financial intelligence.
When must a suspicious transaction report be filed in Zambia?+
A reporting entity should file an STR with FIC within three working days of forming a suspicion. The FIC guidance applies this to reasonable grounds to suspect proceeds of crime, terrorism, terrorist financing or proliferation financing.
What is Zambia's currency transaction reporting threshold?+
The 2022 prescribed-threshold framework requires reporting for a cash or monetary transaction of USD 10,000 or more, including linked transactions where applicable. Firms should implement the full Schedule and sector-specific requirements.
How long must AML records be retained in Zambia?+
The FIC Act requires relevant CDD, account, correspondence, transaction and analysis records to be kept for at least 10 years, measured from the applicable transaction or relationship-termination point.
What is the beneficial-owner test for a Zambian company?+
A beneficial owner is a natural person who ultimately owns, controls, exercises substantial interest in, or receives substantial economic benefit from a corporate, or exercises ultimate and effective control. The assessment is not limited to a shareholding percentage.
Is Zambia on the FATF grey list?+
Zambia is not listed in either FATF public statement issued on 19 June 2026: Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring or High-Risk Jurisdictions subject to a Call for Action. Firms should still monitor every new FATF statement and apply risk-based controls to all relevant geographies.
