In coordination with the Financial Crimes Investigation Board of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, studies are being carried out to address the deficiencies in the report following the publication of our country's Financial Action Task Force (FATF) IV Tour Evaluation Report in December 2019. Within the scope of these studies, notification mechanisms have been established in order to identify payment and electronic money institutions, authorized institutions and those engaged in immovable trade activities operating without authorization/license.

These reporting mechanisms,

• For businesses that do not have a permit to operate an authorized institution and perform unauthorized foreign exchange trading https://www.turkiye.gov.tr/yetkisiz-doviz-alim-satim-ihbar-basvurusu-5561 e-government password via address,
• For those who offer unauthorized payment services, with e-government password via the address https://www.turkiye.gov.tr/tcmbye-sorun,
• For those who are engaged in real estate activities without authorization certificate, the Immovable Trade Information System can be accessed by logging in with an e-government password via the https://ttbs.gtb.gov.tr address.

As such, you can ensure that businesses operating without authorization/licenses are identified by using such reporting mechanisms effectively to combat the laundering of proceeds of crime and the financing of terrorism.
