New FATF Logo

Since the creation of the current FATF logo, over a decade ago, the FATF has evolved significantly. The FATF has chosen a new logo to reflect this evolution.

The new FATF Recommendations provide authorities with stronger tools to act against criminals and address new threats to the international financial system.  The FATF mutual evaluation process has become a rigorous mechanism to assess how well the FATF Recommendations have been implemented.  Using the peer pressure of its members, the FATF follows up on evaluations to ensure that countries remedy identified deficiencies, and it can take action against countries that fail to implement adequate measures.

The work of the FATF and FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs) has driven a profound change in global efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

The shape of the new logo, the shield, represents the tools with which authorities can safeguard their financial system from abuse.  The strength of the FATF's Recommendations and processes is further emphasized by the choice of colour.  The circle within the shield is a reference to the global nature of the FATF's work.  Over 180 countries are part of the FATF global network, including FATF members and the members of the FSRBs.  All have committed to fight money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Henceforth, this will be the new official FATF logo.  The logo exists in an English, French and bilingual version.
