Bermuda -- Travel Rule Implementation Regulatory Overview

The FATF Travel Rule is in effect in Bermuda[1][5], meaning Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) must collect and exchange originator and beneficiary information during virtual asset transactions[1].

Implementation Status

Bermuda has implemented the Travel Rule and it is currently active[1][5]. VASPs operating in Bermuda are required to comply with these requirements as part of the jurisdiction's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) framework[1].

Coverage and Requirements

In jurisdictions where the Travel Rule is in effect, VASPs must collect and exchange originator and beneficiary information before or during a virtual asset transaction[1]. Additionally, sanctions screening is mandatory—institutions must screen this information against applicable sanctions lists and demonstrate that effective screening controls are in place[3].
