AMLive Instructions

To file through AMLive, the requisite licence(s) must first be obtained from the Financial Investigation Agency (“the Agency”); the licences are one per user. Consequently, the Agency will need to know the contact details for each person, and this should include: their full name, email address and position/title.

To acquire a licence, the person(s) that will be filing through AMLive (which will be the name(s) you send to the Agency), should register using the following link:

Once accessed, click on “New User Registration” to the bottom right corner. Then fill out the required fields. It is important that the user(s) in your organization use the same Entity’s Code when registering. This allows all filers to have access to the SARs filed by the organisation. Additionally, select “Blank Entity” in the FI-DNFBP- Name of Reporting Entity Field if your entity is not listed.

Once registration is completed, submit an email to [email protected] with the user email(s) used to register on AMLive along with the full name of the reporting entity. Upon the Agency’s approval, access should be granted within 2 – 3 business days.

Please note the following:

  • Each user creates their own username.
  • You create your own entity code. To view all the SARs/STRs submitted within the entity, users must all use the same entity code.
  • If your entity is not listed, it will be added to your profile after registration is complete. Select “Blank Entity” if your entity is not available during the registration process.

The Agency also wishes to mention that it has a dedicated email for support related to AMLive: [email protected].

Notice

Please note that effective 1 January 2026, all reporting entities will be required to file SARs/STRs through the AMLive Portal. This approach will be in accordance with section 17 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Code of Practice, 2008, as amended, which provides:

“A Reporting Officer shall promptly make a report to the Agency of every suspicious customer or transaction relevant to money laundering, terrorist financing or proliferation financing relating to his or her entity or professional and such report may a) be made in such form as prescribed by the Agency and in compliance with the requirements of section 55; and b) be sent electronically by a secure reporting system as required by the Agency.”

The request for all reporting entities to file electronically by a secure reporting system, specifically AMLive, will assist the Agency in dealing with the significant volume of SARs/STRs in a more effective manner and will also alleviate some of the burden on our current resources.

The Agency further wishes to inform all reporting entities that from 1 January 2026, the Agency will only be offering one complimentary licence for each reporting entity to make filings through AMLive. Any additional licences that will be required by the reporting entity will attach a one-off fee of $150 per Licence. The fees will be payable to the Agency. Once received, the Agency will proceed with issuing the additional licences for the users as requested by the reporting entity.

The Agency reserves the right to refuse to grant additional licences to reporting entities with more than two licences per entity, if requests are made by such entities prior to 1 January 2026.
