Frequently asked questions
Do the anti-money-laundering rules apply to me?
They apply to banks, licensed financial institutions such as management companies and insurers, and certain professions and businesses, including estate agents, accountants, jewellers and lawyers, when they carry out certain activities, such as property transactions or, for jewellers, transactions of MUR 500,000 or more.
