What indicators point to a suspicious proliferation financing transaction?

Tiếng Việt

Unofficial translation from the Vietnamese original.

Clause 4, Article 22 of Law No. 13/2026/QH16 sets out groups of indicators:

  • The customer, beneficiary, representative, controlling person or a related party appears on the list of designated entities and individuals or a watch list, or shows signs of concealing or falsifying identity.
  • The transaction does not match the customer profile, economic purpose, field of activity, financial capacity or transaction history.
  • The transaction involves high-risk countries, territories, shipping routes, counterparties, goods, technologies or services.
  • The transaction shows structuring, routing through multiple intermediaries, or complex ownership, payment or beneficiary structures that conceal the origin, purpose or true beneficiary.

Reporting entities may also identify further indicators of their own (clause 1, Article 22).

Updated guidance on suspicious indicators is published under Alerts and guidance.
