Manila, Philippines
INTRODUCTION
One of the many functions of the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is “To require and
receive covered or suspicious transaction reports (CTRS/STRs) from covered institutions”
(section 7.1 of R.A.9160). Section 1 of RA 10365 amends Section 3 of R.A 9160 to expand the
coverage of the law; it changes the definition from covered institutions to covered persons,
whether natural or juridical.
In addition, Section 9.c of Resolution No. 11 of the AMLC states, “Covered persons (CPs) shall
report to the AMLC all covered transactions and suspicious transactions within five (5) working
days from occurrence thereof, unless the AMLC prescribes a different period not exceeding
fifteen (15) days.
In order to transmit CTRs and STRs, CPs need to register with the AMLC in order to be given
access to the AMLC Portal.
The Online Registration System for CPs will allow Compliance Officers to manage their user
accounts as well as that of their alternates. The system will also provide a means of monitoring
CP’s user accounts by requiring Compliance Officers to update their information every two (2)
years.
