Daon published a legal-counsel article on EU AML reform and customer onboarding dated 17 September 2026.
EU AML Reform and the Future of Customer Onboarding Across Europe ↗
What happened
- The article states the AMLR entered into force on 9 July 2024 and applies directly across the EU.
- The article states harmonised CDD requirements apply across the EU from July 2027.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The article frames eID and QTS as preferred remote onboarding routes, overlapping Signicat's eID Hub and QTSP positioning.
- The article's framing is thought leadership without product, customer or pricing claims, so near-term competitive impact is limited.
