The Global Travel Rule Tracker.
The single source for how the FATF Travel Rule is implemented, jurisdiction by jurisdiction — verified against primary regulator sources and updated as rules change.
Global implementation map
Implementation status, thresholds and required data fields.
Sortable and filterable. Every row carries the primary regulator, the instrument citation, the last verification date and a one-click citation for internal policy documents.
Mandated means the regulator or its self-regulatory body requires a named messaging standard. Market practice and none mandated mean the regulator has deliberately left the standard to industry — an editorial fact, not a missing value. Not yet confirmed is the only genuine research gap: no primary source has been located and the row is re-checked each verification cycle.
Every row also carries the site-wide three-tier confidence rating (high, medium, low) alongside its last verification date. Read the verification methodology.
