In Singapore, Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) are required to identify and report suspicious transactions as part of their obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) regulatory framework. The primary regulations that govern AML/CFT in Singapore are the [Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (CDSA)](https://amlsingapore.com/corruption-drug-trafficking-and-other-serious-crimes-act-cdsa/) and the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act (TSOFA). These laws categorize certain businesses and professions as DNFBPs, which must develop and implement effective [AML/CFT policies, procedures, and controls](https://amlsingapore.com/aml-policy-documentation/) to detect and prevent financial crimes.

The DNFBPs under Singapore’s AML/CFT regulations include:

- Dealers in Precious Stones & Precious Metals
- Real Estate Sector (Agents & Developers)
- Lawyers
- Corporate Service Providers
- Public Accountants
- Casinos
- Pawn Brokers

To assist DNFBPs in meeting these requirements, various regulatory bodies have issued comprehensive guidelines and rulebooks outlining the specific AML/CFT obligations for each sector. DNFBPs are expected to adhere to both the primary AML/CFT regulations and the specific rules set by their respective Supervisory Authorities.
