gateUKMLR — UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017 Gate
// The problem

The PSC register and the AML check otherwise run in separate systems, with gaps between them.

People with Significant Control (PSC) at 25 percent or more under Companies Act 2006 Part 21A are also relevant to AML due diligence. gateUKMLR checks both registers in the same chain, rather than leaving them to separate departments.

OFSI sanctions screening as its own, continuously updated cluster
The OFSI Consolidated List under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 changes continuously. The gate checks against the current list, not a cached version.
// Architecture

4 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1
Customer Due Diligence
Checks CDD before a business relationship or transaction of €15,000 or more (Reg. 28) and enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers (Reg. 33).
cdd_completed · edd_high_risk
CLUSTER 2
PSC Register & UBO
Checks PSC register verification at 25% or more (Companies Act 2006 Part 21A) and beneficial owner identification (Reg. 28(11)(b)).
psc_verified · ubo_identified
CLUSTER 3
Reporting & Nominated Officer
Checks SAR filing with UKFIU (POCA 2002 §330) and a designated nominated officer (Reg. 21).
sar_filed_if_required · nominated_officer
CLUSTER 4
Screening & Retention
Checks PEP screening (Reg. 31), OFSI sanctions screening (SAMLA 2018), and 5-year retention (Reg. 40).
pep_screened · ofsi_screened · retention_5y
No case, no doubt
Every cluster returns its own sealed result. A single hit in an active cluster is enough to block the overall action.
// Test results

// Clarification

What gateUKMLR is not.

  • Not automatic recognition by the FCA or UKFIU. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not regulatory confirmation.
  • Not a replacement for the actual SAR filing with UKFIU. The gate seals the pre-check, it does not itself file with the authority.

For UK-regulated institutions that want to make PSC-linked AML compliance provable.

GATE CATALOG · REGULATORY DETERMINATION DOMAIN

gateUKMLR

gateUKMLR determines encoded UK money-laundering, customer, beneficial-ownership and transaction conditions. The gate contributes a bound regulatory determination state; it creates neither regulatory authority nor Execution Permission.

DOMAIN_DETERMINATION_ONLY = true · EXECUTION_AUTHORITY = false · EXECUTION_PERMISSION = false

AUTHORITY BOUNDARY

UK AML STATE IS NOT REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

CAN

  • deterministically evaluate encoded regulatory conditions
  • bind determinations to source, scope, time and input state
  • surface missing, expired or conflicting regulatory dependencies
  • produce attributable evidence for the concrete determination

CANNOT

  • replace a regulator, supervisor, court or competent institution
  • create legal or regulatory authority through score, consensus, AI or administration
  • turn a gate PASS into an Execution Right on its own
  • mint an ExecutionCapabilityToken on its own
REGULATORY STATE

Regulatory determination is evidence. Not regulatory authority.

SOURCE

Authoritative source

The relevant rule must originate outside the system from a legitimate normative or institutional source.

SCOPE

Defined matter

The determination is limited to the encoded subject, entity, transaction or operation under review.

TIME

Point-in-time state

Effective dates, transition periods, expiry and version state remain explicit.

INPUT

Canonical input

A reproducible determination requires a defined canonical input state.

DEPENDENCY

Dependencies

Missing or contradictory dependencies remain visible rather than being converted into invented permission.

EVIDENCE

Bound evidence

The resulting state can be bound to source, input, scope and time for later verification.

RELATED DETERMINATION DOMAINS

Regulatory domains compose. They do not confer authority on one another.

Only scope-relevant determinations become dependencies in Execution Rights resolution. The links shown are not a universally mandatory sequence.

EXECUTION RIGHTS

Five dimensions. Regulatory state can inform them; no gate replaces them.

A regulatory PASS is a determination. Never a permission by itself.
