Anti-Money Laundering & Counter Terrorism Financing Statement
In light of the international concerns growing on money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities, many countries have taken rigorous measures to curb funds of this nature. Many world organizations have been seeking solutions on the ‘dirty money’ being freely moved in the international financial system. The United Nations, the FATF (Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental body), European Union and many other major global bodies have taken a serious view and have revised the framework of combating money laundering and financing of terrorism to
make it easy to detect and restrict proceedings derived from criminal activities or funds that are or that will be used for illegal acts.

- Customer Identification & Verification
- Origin of Funds and its Originator
- Detection & Reporting of suspicious transactions.
- Up-to-date Record Keeping.
- Training of employees for compliance.
Sir Money Changer Pte Ltd reserves the right to collect identification details from customers prior to the commencement of any of its financial services. This may be in the form of identity cards, passports, driving licence etc.
