78Article 5 of the Money Laundering Directive is included in Chapter I of the directive, headed ‘Subject matter, scope and definitions’, and applies to all the provisions in the field covered by the directive in order to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. It follows that its scope is not limited to the provisions of Chapter II of the directive, headed ‘Customer due diligence’. A Member State may therefore provide that customer due diligence measures must be applied by a credit institution to a payment institution even where the conditions laid down in Article 11(1) of the directive are satisfied, and thus even where there is no suspicion within the meaning of Article 7(c), and in situations other than those listed in Articles 7 and 13.
