Swiss Anti-Money-Laundering Regulation
Revised: New Transparency Register and
New Rules for Advisors
On 26 September 2025, the Swiss Parliament adopted the new Federal Act on the Transparency of Legal Entities and the Identification of Beneficial Owners (TJPG). Under the TJPG, in particular, Swiss legal entities and certain foreign legal entities (with registered Swiss branch, effective administration or owning real estate in Switzerland) are required to report information on their beneficial owners to a newly established, non-public federal register (Transparency Register).
The reform further introduces due diligence obligations with respect to certain legal advisory services deemed to pose an increased risk of money laundering by way of amendment of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA).
