In early 2026, the UK implemented key changes to strengthen anti?money laundering (AML) oversight. Certain sectors will now fall under the supervision of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), reflecting a shift toward more centralised and robust AML supervision.

These measures are part of the UK’s ongoing efforts to tighten the regulatory framework and support economic crime prevention.
