They amend the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Oversight of Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing Supervision Regulations 2017 and Regulation (EU) 2015/847 of the European Union and of the Council on information accompanying transfers of funds and repealing Regulation (EC) No 178/2006 (OJ L141, 5.6.2015, p.1). They also revoke Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1108 of 7th May 2018 supplementing Directive (EU) 2015/849 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regulatory technical standards on the criteria for the appointment of central contact points for electronic money issuers and payment service providers and with rules on their functions.
