أسئلة KYC وKYB وAML في نيكاراغوا
Who receives suspicious-operation reports in Nicaragua?+
The Unidad de Análisis Financiero (UAF), through the authorised SIREL channel.
When is a ROS filed?+
Immediately after the entity's analysis establishes suspicion, including attempted activity and regardless of amount. Preserve the analysis and current SIREL receipt.
Is every transaction report tied to one universal threshold?+
No. Objective report types, amounts, aggregation and deadlines vary by activity and current UAF or sector rule; configure only from the live specification.
How long are AML records retained?+
At least five years after the relationship ends or the occasional transaction occurs, subject to any longer sector or authority requirement.
Is beneficial ownership only a registry check?+
No. Reporting entities must identify and verify the ultimate natural-person owner or controller; registry evidence supports but does not replace CDD.
Is the beneficial-owner register unrestricted and public?+
No. Law 1035 provides access for companies concerned, competent authorities and pertinent institutions; use only lawfully accessible evidence.
What changed in June 2026?+
Law 1282 amended Laws 977 and 976 and related statutes, including definitions, virtual-asset and transfer provisions and the targeted-financial-sanctions immobilisation process.
Is Nicaragua on a FATF public list?+
No. Nicaragua was not named on FATF's 13 February 2026 increased-monitoring or call-for-action lists reviewed on 10 August 2026. Recheck the live lists.
