Frequently asked questions

Who needs to run Anti-Money Laundering checks?

Solicitors, accountants, tax advisers, insolvency practitioners, financial institutions, credit institutions, estate agents, chartered surveyors, trust/service providers, gaming companies and high value dealers with the potential for a business relationship worth over £15,000, such as automotive dealers and jewellers.

Why does my business need to perform Anti-Money Laundering checks on its clients?

The Anti-Money Laundering regulations are governed by 4 Acts: The Proceeds of Crime Act, The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, The Terrorist Act and the Money Laundering Regulations. Failure to report suspicious activity can carry a criminal sentence and lead to substantial fines from the relevant regulatory body.

What is Electronic verification?

In order to prevent fraud and money laundering it is important to verify individuals carrying out financial transactions. Previously, documentary evidence was relied on to verify an individual. These may not always be available and they can also be easily forged or altered, therefore electronic verification provides extra security and reduces risk against money laundering and fraud. Electronic verification also removes the need for the customer to be present, which saves time and helps support customer relationship building. The risk of money laundering is reduced as several data sources are called upon to verify the customer rather than just relying on documentary evidence.

I have dealt with my clients for many years, do I still need to carry out customer due diligence?

You need to keep CDD up-to-date for all your clients. You may have sufficient documentary ID details on your files, but if there has been any subsequent change to their circumstances or risk profile, you should update your CDD. It is advised to review clients’ CDD on a regular basis.
