AML-2.2.5

Where a Capital Market Licensee's risk-based monitoring systems identify significant or abnormal transactions (as defined in paragraph AML-2.2.2 and rule AML-2.2.3), it must verify the source of funds for those transactions, particularly where the transactions are above the transactions threshold of BD6,000. Furthermore, Capital Market Licensees must examine the background and purpose to those transactions and document their findings. In the case of one-off transactions where there is no ongoing account relationship, the Capital Market Licensees must file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) if it is unable to verify the source of funds to its satisfaction (see Chapter AML-4).
