• Inward Transfers

    • FC-3.1.4

      Licensees must:

      (a) Maintain records (in accordance with Chapter FC-7 of this Module) of all originator information received with an inward transfer (see Section FC-1.10 for simplified arrangements for transfers below US$1,000); and
      (b) Carefully scrutinise inward transfers which do not contain originator information (i.e. full name, address and account number or a unique customer identification number – see Paragraph FC-1.9.1 for simplified arrangements). Licensees must presume that such transfers are "suspicious transactions" and pass them to the MLRO for review for determination as to possible filing of an STR, unless (a), the sending institution is able to promptly (i.e. within two business days) advise the licensee in writing of the originator information upon the licensee's request; or (b), the sending institution and the licensee are acting on their own behalf (as principals); or (c), the inward transfer is below US$1,000 or equivalent in other currencies.
