  9. MONEY LAUNDERING

  10. What is Money Laundering? • Money laundering refers to the conversion of money illegally obtained to make it appear as if it originated from a legitimate source. • It is being employed by launderers worldwide to conceal proceeds of criminal activity associated with it, such as drugs / arms trafficking, terrorism and extortion.

  11. Effect on Customers • For prevention of opening of accounts in false identities, Banks have to ask for proof of customer’s identity and address during opening of new accounts • Being asked for these documents does not imply that the customers are suspected of money laundering • It is a necessity to identify all prospective account holders or customers as anybody including a criminal could falsely use another customer’s identity, if the respective documents are not obtained.

  12. What proof of identity will you need? • Best identification documents are those issued by a Government authority, having a photograph, address and signature • One document can be used to establish both identity and address, else two or more documents will suffice
