ABSTRAKPrinsip Mengenal Nasabah merupakan prinsip yang diterapkan Penyedia Jasa Keuangan untuk mengetahui identitas nasabah, memantau kegiatan transaksi nasabah termasuk pelaporan transaksi yang mencurigakan. Prinsip ini tidak hanya berguna untuk mendeteksi transaksi keuangan yang kemungkinan merupakan tindak pidana pencucian uang tetapi juga melindungi Penyedia Jasa keuangan dari berbagai risiko dalam berhubungan dengan nasabah atau counter-party. Pada UU No. 8 Tahun 2010, Prinsip Mengenal Nasabah ini berubah menjadi prinsip mengenali pengguna jasa yang dikenal sebagai Customer Due Dilligence (CDD) dan Enhanced Due Dilligence (EDD). CDD dan EDD dilakukan tidak hanya kepada calon nasabah tetapi juga kepada nasabah lama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan praktek pencucian uang mempunyai akibat yang kompleks yaitu merongrong penyedia jasa keuangan, merugikan masyarakat, dan negara yang berdampak menghambat pembangunan nasional. Adapun perangkat hukum yang diterapkan berupa Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang, Peraturan Bank Indonesia, dan Peraturan Pasar Modal secara materi sudah cukup memadai, namun dalam pelaksanaannya belum berjalan efektif karena terdapat beberapa kendala baik di penyedia jasa keuangan sendiri yang belum optimal. Dalam perbandingan antara bank dan perusahaan efek pada penerapan prinsip mengenal nasabah dilihat dari pembukaan rekening terdapat perbedaan yang diantaranya berupa kewajiban pencantuman NPWP, kewajiban pengisian data pasangan, hubungan calon nasabah dengan perusahaan, sampai dengan penolakan nasabah. Kendala-kendala yang dihadapi yaitu masyarakat yang belum memahami dan menerima pemberlakuan penerapan Prinsip Mengenal Nasabah, dan adanya rasa kekhawatiran akan kehilangan nasabah apabila menerapkan Prinsip Mengenal Nasabah, adanya sikap kurang kooperatif dari pihak nasabah itu sendiri, dan belum tersosialisasikan dengan baik tentang adanya peraturan tentang Prinsip Mengenal Nasabah dalam masyarakat. Dalam hal ini perlunya Otoritas Jasa Keuangan yang merupakan otoritas tertinggi dalam lembaga keuangan di Indonesia untuk berperan aktif dalam memajukan perekonomian sekaligus melindungi dari kejahatan pencucian uang dan kejahatan lainnya.
