How to navigate information sharing under ECCTA

The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) introduced new information sharing measures designed to give AML-regulated firms greater clarity and confidence to share customer information for the purposes of preventing, detecting and investigating economic crime. More than two years on, many firms are still working through what this means in practice. 

While the legal gateway now exists, operationalising information sharing remains a challenge. Firms must navigate direct and indirect sharing arrangements, UK GDPR obligations, governance requirements, record keeping, SAR considerations and internal decision-making frameworks, while ensuring information sharing supports a risk-based approach to financial crime prevention. 

Updated UK Government guidance published in October 2025 provided further clarity on the application of the measures, but questions remain around implementation, consistency and what good looks like in practice. 

Join us for this live webinar as we discuss how AML-regulated firms are beginning to apply the ECCTA information sharing measures, navigate implementation challenges and embed information sharing into day-to-day decision-making. 

This live webinar will explore: 

• What actions AML-regulated firms can take under ECCTA. 
• Direct and indirect information sharing, and when each route may be appropriate. 
• How information sharing fits alongside AML controls, SARs, POCA considerations and UK GDPR obligations. 
• Governance, oversight and record keeping considerations when embedding information sharing into day-to-day operations.
