Recital 2

(2)The appointment of a central contact point to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules appears to be justified where the size and scale of the activities carried out by payment service providers and electronic money issuers through establishments in forms other than a branch meets or exceeds certain thresholds. Those thresholds should be set at a level that is proportionate to the aim of Directive (EU) 2015/849 to facilitate supervision by competent authorities of such establishments' compliance, on behalf of their appointing institution, with local anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) obligations, while at the same time not creating undue regulatory burden on payment service providers and electronic money issuers.
