Global in-house centre registration requires Financial Institution Group status or prior authorization; branches barred from FATF high-risk jurisdictions. Registration requires the applicant to be an entity that exclusively qualifies as a Financial Institution Group, subject to the Authority's final determination; permitted third-party applicants must furnish a prior written authorization from the Financial Institution Group. Branch-form GIC Units are permissible only when the parent entity's jurisdiction is not identified by the FATF as a high-risk jurisdiction subject to call for action.
