Greece AML

"Greece, EU member, low risk" is a conclusion, not an assessment — and supervisors have stopped accepting the difference.

Greek exposure runs through Cyprus files constantly: clients, beneficial owners, payment corridors. Yet the country-risk section is often the least reasoned line in the file. What a reviewer wants to see is the why — which supervisory regime you relied on, which sanctions programmes actually produce hits for Greece-linked names, what you checked at onboarding.

Next Greek-linked file you open, write the reasoning down. It takes ten minutes and it is the difference between a defended file and an asserted one.
