This Module applies to all specialised licensees including branches of licensees incorporated outside of Bahrain, and Bahrain-incorporated subsidiaries of overseas groups. Certain parts of this Module may not be relevant to some licensees' business. Some transactions may not involve the opening of account relationships, however whenever a transaction takes place with another party or the licensee acts as an introducer or intermediary in a transaction or business relationship, then this Module becomes effective. Representative office licensees are exempted from: FC-2, FC-3, FC-4 and FC-6 because of the limited nature of their business. The scope provided for simplified customer due diligence requirements – as set out in Section FC-1.10 – will reduce the burden of customer due diligence for a number of specialised licensees.
