Artikel 23 Interna strategier, förfaranden och kontroller för att säkerställa genomförandet av restriktiva åtgärder


Summary What does Article 23 of the Transfer of funds regulation (TFR) say?

This article sits alongside the regulation's core traceability requirements and introduces an additional, complementary obligation: ensuring that restrictive measures — such as sanctions — are actually implemented during transfers.

It requires both payment service providers and crypto-asset service providers to have internal policies, procedures, and controls in place to give effect to Union and national restrictive measures when conducting transfers covered by this regulation.

The EBA is also tasked with issuing guidelines to clarify how this should be done in practice.

Important points:

  • Implement internal policies, procedures and controls to ensure Union and national restrictive measures are applied during transfers of funds and crypto-assets.
  • This obligation applies equally to both payment service providers and crypto-asset service providers.
  • EBA is required to issue guidelines specifying the relevant measures by 30 December 2024.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

  2. Europeiska bankmyndigheten (EBA) ska senast den 30 december 2024 utfärda riktlinjer som specificerar de åtgärder som avses i denna artikel.
