Mission Grey Assessment

A watch area rather than the most immediate disruption area, but tightening AML expectations can slow vendor onboarding, customer screening, and payment flows if controls are not mature. Vietnam's AML framework is being strengthened through the 2022 AML Law and subsequent revisions intended to align more closely with international expectations.

What is changing
  • ▸2022 AML Law and subsequent revisions align more closely with FATF expectations
  • ▸SBV consultation drafts and speeches signalling stronger enforcement tone
  • ▸Bank KYC tightening emerging
Why it matters
  • ▸Can affect account onboarding, large-value payment processing, KYC refresh cycles, and suspicious-shipment/payment escalation
Likely Future Sequence
  1. 01
    Now
    Review banking relationships and KYC refresh readiness
  2. 02
    60 days
    Test escalation paths for blocked or delayed payments
  3. 03
    3–12 months
    Ensure sanctions/AML screening workflows are calibrated for Vietnam risk patterns
