DUE DILIGENCE AND MONEY LAUNDERING POLICY
Since the Directive 2005/60/EC on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing came into force, we apply customer due diligence measures in the following cases:

1. When establishing a business relationship;

a) Identifying the customer and verifying the customer’s identity on the basis of documents, data or information obtained from a reliable and independent source;

b) Identifying, where applicable, the beneficial owner and taking risk-based and adequate measures to verify his identity so that our offices are satisfied that they know who the beneficial owner is, including, as regards legal persons, trusts and similar legal arrangements, taking risk-based and adequate measures to understand the ownership and control structure of the customer;

c) Obtaining information on the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship;

d) Conducting ongoing monitoring of the business relationship including scrutiny of transactions undertaken throughout the course of that relationship to ensure that the transactions being conducted are consistent with our office’s knowledge of the customer, the business and risk profile, including, where necessary, the source of funds and ensuring that the documents, data or information held are kept up-to-date.

2. When carrying out occasional transactions amounting to €15.000 or more, whether the transaction is carried out in a single operation or in several operations which appear to be linked;

3. When there is a suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, regardless of any derogation, exemption or threshold;

4. When there are doubts about the veracity or adequacy of previously obtained customer identification data.
