The following is a non-exhaustive list of factors and types of evidence of potentially lower risk referred to in Article 16:

Customer risk factors: public companies listed on a stock exchange and subject to disclosure requirements (either by stock exchange rules or through law or enforceable means), which impose requirements to ensure adequate transparency of beneficial ownership; public administrations or enterprises; customers that are resident in geographical areas of lower risk as set out in point (3); Product, service, transaction or delivery channel risk factors: life insurance policies for which the premium is low; insurance policies for pension schemes if there is no early surrender option and the policy cannot be used as collateral; a pension, superannuation or similar scheme that provides retirement benefits to employees, where contributions are made by way of deduction from wages, and the scheme rules do not permit the assignment of a member's interest under the scheme; financial products or services that provide appropriately defined and limited services to certain types of customers, so as to increase access for financial inclusion purposes; products where the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing are managed by other factors such as purse limits or transparency of ownership (e.g. certain types of electronic money); Geographical risk factors — registration, establishment, residence in: Member States; third countries having effective AML/CFT systems; third countries identified by credible sources as having a low level of corruption or other criminal activity; third countries which, on the basis of credible sources such as mutual evaluations, detailed assessment reports or published follow-up reports, have requirements to combat money laundering and terrorist financing consistent with the revised FATF Recommendations and effectively implement those requirements.
