Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

AML/CTF

The set of procedures used to identify and verify customers, assess their ML/TF risk, and monitor the relationship over time. Required under Part 2 of the AML/CTF Act 2006 (initial CDD s.28, ongoing CDD s.30, simplified CDD s.31, enhanced CDD s.32). For gaming venues, CDD attaches to designated-service transactions per the policies, not every casual patron interaction.

This term sits in the AML/CTF section of the working glossary — vocabulary that recurs across the AUSTRAC reporting-entity regime, the AML/CTF Act 2006, and the AML/CTF Rules 2025.
