Why it matters

RegCanary's analysis of what this means for regulated firms.

Although this is not yet final, it is a clear signal that AML/CFT obligations for these entities are being formalized and aligned with Peru's broader supervisory framework. Compliance teams should treat the draft as an early gap-assessment tool: review current policies, customer due diligence, risk assessments, suspicious-activity reporting, recordkeeping, governance, and training against the proposed expectations. Firms should also assess whether existing controls are proportionate to their risk profile and whether technology, data, or staffing changes may be needed.

The consultation also creates an opportunity to engage with the regulator through comments, particularly where requirements may be unclear, operationally burdensome, or inconsistent with existing UIF guidance. Because the rule is still in draft, immediate remediation is not required, but proactive review is advisable. Monitor the consultation outcome and prepare a costed implementation plan for when the final rule is issued.

Cross-border groups should consider how the draft interacts with group-wide AML/CFT standards and local reporting obligations. Overall impact is moderate at this stage, with higher operational relevance once finalized.
