FIAU REQ Group 3 Deadline Reminder April 2026
Summary
The FIAU Malta reminds all subject persons that the Risk Evaluation Questionnaire (REQ) 2026 submission deadline for Group 3 is April 21, 2026. Timely submission is a legal obligation, and failure to meet the deadline constitutes a late submission that may expose subject persons to administrative penalties. Financial institutions required to submit through the MFSA LH Portal are excluded from this reminder.
“Failure to submit by the indicated deadlines will be considered as a late submission and may result in subject persons being liable to an administrative penalty.”
