FATF has nearly 40 member countries, and exerts its influence through numerous regional bodies. Non-member countries are equally subject to FATF’s standards through blacklisting methods.
We’re here to demystify FATF’s localized forms of influence in each part of the world. Welcome to our country portal, where you can view a fact-file for each country’s place within the FATF apparatus.
