<br> Anti-Money Laundering Policy Money laundering is the process by which criminally obtained money or other assets are exchanged for "clean" money with no obvious link to its criminal origin.
By preventing money laundering, the movement of funds derived from criminal activities will be inhibited.
This will in turn, restrict the availability of funds used for terrorist activities.
Transfermate views Money Laundering as a serious criminal offence, and as such, complies with regulatory requirements intended to forestall and prevent money laundering.
These include: <ul>
<li>Confirming the identity of our clients.</li>
<li>Retaining transaction and identification records for a minimum period of five years.
</li>
<li>Training staff in terms of anti-money laundering regulations.
</li>
<li>Appointing a nominated officer responsible for monitoring and reporting any and all suspicious activities to the relevant authorities.
