Prevention of Money Laundering

Notice to Customer on Prevention of Money Laundering

In response to regulatory/international guidelines on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing activities, in processing a transfer or remittance instruction, the Bank will disclose the data of the transferor/remitter, including without limitation the transferor's/remitter's name, the originating account number (where it exists) and the transferor's/remitter's address (or other unique reference of the transferor/remitter such as date of birth or the number of an identity document) in the transfer/remittance message.

Inclusion of the required transferor/remitter information in a transfer or remittance message is to help ensure that the transactions concerned will be effected by the receiving financial institutions.

We encourage customers to provide the most updated information to the Bank to avoid any possible delay in processing. Customers may update their particulars via branches wherever appropriate.
