About Anti Money Laundering Authority (AMLA)
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) is the EU agency tasked with directly supervising the highest-risk financial entities and coordinating national anti-money-laundering supervisors and Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). AMLA was created by Regulation (EU) 2024/1620 and is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The Authority became operational in mid-2025 and is staffing up rapidly to take on direct supervision of selected obliged entities from 2028, alongside indirect oversight of national supervisors and FIU coordination from day one.
Working at Anti Money Laundering Authority (AMLA)
AMLA recruits anti-money-laundering specialists, prudential and conduct supervisors, financial-crime analysts, lawyers, IT and data specialists, and corporate-services staff. The agency is hiring on a steep ramp-up curve through 2028 and offers an unusual chance to shape a brand-new EU supervisor from the inside. English is the working language. Frankfurt has a duty-station correction coefficient of 99.2 (close to Brussels parity). AMLA primarily offers temporary agent and contract agent positions; many senior posts are AD9–AD12.
How to Apply
AMLA recruits directly through its own vacancy portal. Most positions require demonstrated experience in AML/CFT supervision, FIU work, financial-crime investigation, or financial regulation more broadly. Candidates can expect a written test (often a case study), a competency-based interview, and reference checks.
