Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority (IMPA)

The Israel Money Laundering Prohibition Authority (IMPA), the Israeli Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), was established in the Ministry of Justice on January 2002 as prescribed by the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law 5760-2000. In 2005 the name of the FIU changed to Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority.

IMPA's main goal is to manage, process and secure a Data warehouse, which will accumulate reports received in accordance with the provisions of the law, and upon suspicion of money laundering activity, will disseminate the said reports to the competent authorities. By doing so, IMPA assists the worldwide combat against money laundering and terror financing.
