Who they are

Angola's financial intelligence unit: a national central unit that describes itself as public, autonomous and independent. A news item on its site dates its existence from 2011.

What they do

It collects, centralises, processes and disseminates suspicious-transaction information nationally, and publishes AML/CFT legislation, forms, directives and guidance. Lei n.º 8/26 adds Art. 60.º-A to Lei n.º 5/20, which gives it administrative, financial and patrimonial autonomy and lets it decide on analysis, dissemination and referrals without prior authorisation. In October 2026 it issued Instrução n.º 001/DG-UIF/2026 on the deadline for reporting suspicious operations.
