ECSH64830 - Schedule 3ZA - High-Risk Third Countries

IMPORTANT'WARNING': Sch 3ZA list was omitted from the MLRs on 23 Jan 2024. Please now refer to the 'FATF list of High-risk and other monitoredjurisdictions' "HERE"

From 26 March 2021, we rely upon our own list of High-Risk Countries (at Schedule 3ZA of the 2017 MLRs) rather than the EU List. 
 
* Grey Rows & N/A = No longer on the current list of high-risk countries (either removed from Sch3ZA or did not carry across from EU List) 
 
* N/A = The country was not included on this list (E.g N/A in EU List as it was only added under Sch 3ZA)
