02 / German compliance specifics

Aligned with BaFin and GwG requirements

GwG (Geldwäschegesetz) — German AML Act. Obliged entities must conduct customer due diligence including UBO identification via Transparenzregister. Veritor's documentation aligns with GwG record-keeping requirements (10-year retention available).

BaFin supervised entities — financial-sector firms supervised by BaFin must comply with both GwG and EU AMLD. Veritor's audit reports are suitable for BaFin Sonderprüfung (special inspection).

DORA TPRM — Germany has been an early DORA implementer. Many German banks already require DORA-compliant ICT third-party documentation. See DORA use case.
