The FinCrime Connection UK - October 2025

In the October 2025 episode of The FinCrime Connection UK, Claire Rees and Phil Roberts examine four key stories that are shaping compliance:

1. OFSI Sanctions List Consolidation - From 28 January 2026, the OFSI Consolidated List closes. We break down what the move to a single UK Sanctions List means for your screening processes and what you need to update before the transition.

2. NCA Enforcement in Northern Ireland - The National Crime Agency's ongoing money laundering investigation has resulted in arrests and the seizure of £2.6 million in cash.

3. FCA Supports Digital Identity Systems - At its annual public meeting, the FCA positioned digital ID as a transformative tool for fraud prevention and financial crime detection. We explore the tensions around privacy and implementation, and why firms need clear guidance as proposals develop.

4. Money Laundering Regulations Update - With the consultation period now closed, we look ahead to what changes might be confirmed in the coming weeks, including industry concerns about proportionality and risk-based approaches.
