The Regulation on information accompanying transfers of funds (Regulation (EU) 2015/847) (known as the revised Wire Transfer Regulation (WTR) or the Funds Transfer Regulation (FTR)) is designed to strengthen the EU's defences against money laundering and terrorist financing, while also ensuring that the EU framework is aligned with the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) international anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) standards. It has been directly applicable in member states since 26 June 2017.

Certain aspects of the revised WTR had to be transposed into national law. This note provides an overview of how the UK transposed this Regulation.

This note is law stated as at 13 December 2018, which means it reflects the position once the UK had fully transposed the revised WTR. Be aware that this note is no longer being maintained.
