WHAT IS MONEY LAUNDERING?

Money laundering is the generic term used to describe the process by which criminals disguise the original ownership and control of the proceeds of criminal conduct by making such proceeds appear to have derived from a legitimate source. The processes by which criminally derived property may be laundered are extensive. Though criminal money may be successfully laundered without the assistance of the financial sector, the reality is that hundreds of billions of dollars of criminally derived money is laundered through financial institutions, annually. The nature of the services and products offered by the financial services industry (namely managing, controlling and possessing money and property belonging to others) means that it is vulnerable to abuse by money launderers.

REQUIREMENTS TO HELP DETER MONEY LAUNDERING

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, we are required to ask you to provide various identification documents or other information when opening or updating an account which may include but is not limited to your name, address, date of birth (for individuals), social security number and driver’s license or passport information.
