Institutions that publish their Wolfsberg CBDDQ

The CBDDQ is the Wolfsberg Group’s standard questionnaire for correspondent-banking due diligence. In it, the respondent institution answers on its ownership, its AML, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions programme, its anti-bribery and corruption controls, and its KYC and transaction monitoring.

The Wolfsberg Group is an association of global banks that develops guidance on managing financial crime risk. It published the current version of the questionnaire, v1.4, on 10 February 2023. That version added a section on fraud.

In the questionnaire’s declaration, the institution commits to update its answers at least every 18 months. The next update shown here is 18 months after the signing date read from the file.

The Group also publishes the shorter Financial Crime Compliance Questionnaire (FCCQ), for relationships other than correspondent banking.

A published questionnaire lets a correspondent read an institution’s answers before it asks for them. It does not replace the correspondent’s own due diligence.

The answers are the institution’s own. Elucidate has not reviewed or verified them. The questionnaire, its guidance and its FAQs are published by the Wolfsberg Group ↗.

Elucidate’s crawler looked for a CBDDQ on the websites of 1,790 researched legal entities on 1 November 2026. Of these websites, 1,532 answered.

The crawler reads each website’s sitemaps and its compliance and KYC pages. A questionnaire is matched to the institution on the LEI or legal name it gives. Where neither can be read, it is listed as found on the institution’s website.

The version and signing date are read from the file, by an AI model where no signing date can be parsed. Scanned files are not read. Of the 149 questionnaires, 84 are scans. For 100, the entity the questionnaire covers could not be confirmed.

Each month, every link is opened again. A questionnaire no longer at its address, with no other copy on the website, stays on the institution’s page marked as no longer available, and leaves this list.

An institution missing from this list may still have a CBDDQ. It may share it on request, through a due diligence platform or on a page the crawler did not reach. Absence from the list is not evidence that an institution has no questionnaire.

The questionnaires remain the institutions’ copyright. Elucidate links to them and does not host copies.
