Sinpex and Deloitte Launch Survey on Cost of EU AML Implementation

The EU AML Implementation Survey, a joint initiative by Sinpex and Deloitte, is set to uncover the financial and operational impact of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance across the European Union. This new research project aims to explore real-world challenges faced by financial institutions while meeting evolving regulatory demands. The EU AML Survey 2025 aims to capture the current state of readiness, resource requirements, key challenges and the role of technology in the successful implementation of the AML package across the EU. It is open to financial and non-financial obligated entities, including banks, fintechs, crypto companies, real estate firms and insurance providers. “With the EU AML package introducing sweeping changes across sectors – from stricter UBO verification to sector-specific supervision – the burden on compliance teams is set to increase dramatically,” said Dr. Camillo Werdich, CEO and Founder of Sinpex. “This survey will provide invaluable benchmarking insights for companies navigating these reforms.”

Key Survey Focus Areas

The survey explores five key areas, including

• Maturity and preparation status including familiarity with the EU AML requirements
• Operational challenges and concerns regarding the new requirements
• Resource impact, estimating the human and financial investment needed to meet compliance obligations by the 2027 deadline
• Digital resilience, particularly how RegTech and automation reduce regulatory pressure and audit risk
• Strategy and Outlook including confidence in being compliant by 2027 as well as forms of external support used.
