Please be advised that on the basis of the Act of 1 March 2018 on counteracting money laundering and financing of terrorism, hereinafter referred to as the Act, obligated institutions operating in the field of virtual currencies (cf. Article 2(1)(12) of the Act) are covered by periodic quarterly reporting to the GIIF.
Quarterly reports with data should be submitted only via the home page of the ICT system of the General Inspector for Financial Information, by logging in to the system and selecting the tab ‘I want to send quarterly statistics’ in the section ‘What do you want to do?’. Then select the tab ‘Form of quarterly statistics – obligated institutions operating in the field of virtual currencies’. The duly completed quarterly statistics form must be signed with a qualified electronic signature and sent to the GIFI.
Reports with statistical data should be submitted to the GIFI in quarterly cycles within 18 days of the end of the quarter to which the data relate. The first report with statistical data for the fourth quarter of 2023 should be submitted between 1 and 18 January 2024.
On the website https://www.giif.mofnet.gov.pl/#/glowna there are questions available, the answers to which will be subject to quarterly reporting. An obligated institution operating in the field of virtual currencies can already get acquainted with these questions and prepare for the obligation of quarterly reporting. To do this, log in to the system and select the tab "I want to check messages for the obligated institution" in the section "What do you want to do?" on the home page.
Obligated institutions operating in the field of virtual currencies will soon receive a letter from the GIFI informing them of the rules for implementing the obligation indicated in this communication.
