AML-1.4.4

Capital market services provided using digital channels or internet pose greater challenges for customer identification and AML/CFT purposes. Capital Market Licensees must identify and assess the money laundering or terrorist financing risks relevant to any new technology or channel and establish procedures to prevent the misuse of technological developments in Money Laundering or terrorist financing schemes. The risk assessments must be consistent with the requirements in Section AML-C.2. Capital Market Licensees which provide screen based trading or online services to their customers must set-up programmes or systems to highlight unusual transactions to enable the Capital Market Licensees to report all such transactions.
