Tax Justice Network joins the osapiens hub store, bringing the Financial Secrecy Index’s data to obliged entities ahead of new EU anti-money laundering regulation

Financial secrecy data from the Tax Justice Network’s Financial Secrecy Index is now available to obliged entities and compliance teams to access via the osapiens HUB Store, which launched today on osapiens, the AI platform for compliance and supplier intelligence that enables companies to manage risk and become more resilient.

Under the EU’s new Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, all obliged entities will be required from July 2027 to incorporate financial secrecy into their geographic risk compliance.

The new regulatory requirement introduces a significant leap forward in anti-money laundering compliance by making traditional risk-lists, like the EU’s blacklist, no longer sufficient on their own for country risk assessments.

Traditional risk-lists have long been criticised for being political and inadequate at accurately identifying money laundering risks.

In contrast, the Financial Secrecy Index has pioneered research on geographical financial secrecy risks. The index’s data is widely used, cited or referenced by authorities and leading institutions, including the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, the IMF, World Bank, OECD, European Commission, central banks, tax authorities and over 100 academic institutions.

Obliged entities using the osapiens compliance platform are now able to directly incorporate into their country risks assessments the Financial Secrecy Index’s secrecy scores for 141 jurisdictions by adding the data to their service from the osapiens HUB Store.

The index brings detailed country-level data on the laws, regulations and practices that can enable financial secrecy. It covers areas such as beneficial ownership, company and tax transparency, and international cooperation, giving users a broad evidence base for assessing geographic financial crime risk.

The osapiens HUB Store is an on-demand source for expert-built compliance content that lives directly inside the osapiens HUB where customers get direct access to a wide selection of expert-built regulatory content, reporting templates, supplier questionnaires and regulatory bundles from vetted partners – unlimited compliance content built by experts.

Moran Harari, index lead at the Tax Justice Network, said:

“Our goal is to put high-quality data in the hands of the people working to guard against financial crime. The osapiens HUB Store brings our data directly into the systems compliance professionals are already using, making it much easier to integrate into their day-to-day work”.

Matthias Jungblut, co-ceo and co-founder of osapiens, said:

“Regulation is growing faster than any single company can keep pace with on its own. With the Tax Justice Network contributing to the osapiens HUB Store, we’re bringing deep, vetted expertise directly to our customers without adding complexity to their technology stack.”
