הרשות לאיסור הלבנת הון ומימון טרור (IMPA)

The Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority (IMPA) is Israel’s Financial Intelligence Unit. Established in 2002 in accordance with the Prohibition of Money Laundering Law of 2000, IMPA leads the fight against money laundering and terror financing in Israel. Additionally, IMPA spearheads Israel's participation in the global effort to combat money laundering and terror financing, in accordance with the international standards established by the FATF. By fighting financial crime, IMPA's work ensures that the integrity of the financial system remains safe, stable, and protected from illicit activity. IMPA is an independent intelligence authority, charged with managing the national database of financial intelligence. The information in the database is received from reporting entities and government bodies, as well as information shared by counterpart financial intelligence units (FIUs) in other countries. IMPA is responsible for extracting intelligence from the raw data and analyzing it in order to detect suspicious entities who are involved in money laundering or terror financing activities, as well as to identify emerging trends, methods, and typologies. IMPA leads the Israeli delegations to the FATF and to MONEYVAL and takes a prominent role in global standards setting, policymaking, and cooperation in the struggle against money laundering and terror financing. IMPA is also a member of the Egmont Group of FIUs, and cooperates with foreign FIU’s in the exchange of financial intelligence and promotion of international cooperation in the domain of AML/CFT. IMPA serves as the primary source of expertise, information, and outreach on countering money laundering and terror financing in Israel, and its experts are sought out for professional advice both nationally and internationally.
