Systematic reporting

 

Formality description

Article 20 of Law 10/2010 of 28 April on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing establishes that obliged subjects shall report to Sepblac at the established frequency the transactions determined in the regulations.

Indeed, Article 27 of the Regulation of Law 10/2010 of 28 April, approved by Royal Decree 304/2014 of 5 May, states that obliged subjects shall report in any case to Sepblac on a monthly basis the following transactions:

  • Transactions entailing the physical movement of coins, paper currency, traveller’s cheques, cheques or other bearer documents issued by credit institutions, except those that are credited or debited to a customer’s account, for amounts exceeding EUR 30,000 or the equivalent amount in foreign currency.
  • Obliged subjects that perform money remittances in the terms set out in article 2 of Law 16/2009 of 13 November, on payment services, shall report to Sepblac those transactions entailing the physical movement of coins, paper currency, traveller’s cheques, cheques or other bearer documents for amounts exceeding EUR 1,500 or the equivalent amount in foreign currency.
  • Transactions carried out by or with natural or legal persons who are resident, or those acting on their behalf, in territories or countries designated for that purpose by Order of the Minister of Economy and Competitiveness, as well as transactions involving transfers of funds to or from said territories or countries, irrespective of the residence of the persons involved, provided that the amount of those transactions exceeds EUR 30,000 or the equivalent amount in foreign currency.
  • Transactions involving movements of means of payment subject to mandatory declaration under article 34 of Law 10/2010 of 28 April.
  • Aggregate information about money remittance activity, as defined in article 2 of Law 16/2009 of 13 November, on payment services, broken down by country of origin or destination and by agent or place of business.
  • Aggregate information on international transfers of credit institutions, broken down by country of origin or destination.
  • Transactions specified by Order of the Minister of Economy and Competitiveness.

Systematic reporting of aggregate information about money remittance activity broken down by country of origin or destination and by agent or place of business and aggregate information on international transfers of credit institutions broken down by country of origin or destination will be only exigible as of a date determined by Sepblac.

Likewise, Sepblac shall establish criteria to determine when, for the purpose of systematic reporting, several transactions should be added insofar as being considered instalments of a single operation.

In the case of merely attempted transactions, the obliged subject shall record the transaction as not executed and report to Sepblac on the information obtained.

In the absence of transactions requiring systematic reporting, obliged subjects shall notify this fact to Sepblac on a semi-annual basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the transactions subject to systematic reporting contain indications or certainty of being related to money laundering or terrorist financing, the provisions of articles 17, 18 and 19 of Law 10/2010 of 28 April shall apply.

 

Target audience
