Banks, other financial institutions and their employees face steep financial penalties of up to Sh20 million if they fail to comply with the recently amended anti-money laundering regulations.

Circulars sent to bank executives by the Central Bank of Kenya following the October 2023 enactment of the revised regulations say that the penalty for non-compliant banks stands at Sh20 million for legal entities (banks) and Sh1 million for individuals.
