Why we have anti-money laundering procedures

The UK is a leading international financial centre with a highly regarded reputation. This is why companies in the financial sector can become an attractive target to money launderers (criminals who try to conceal the origin of their funds so that they can turn it into legitimate money). Due to this, measures have been put in place by the government to make it more difficult for criminals to abuse the financial system.

We implement straight forward KYC, KYB and enhanced due diligence procedures to identify all clients who register with us. Sometimes extra checks have to be carried out in order to proceed with opening of a foreign exchange account. Occasionally, we may ask for further identification and if you are asked to provide this then please do not think that we are suspicious of you in any way, this information is being taken to protect you, safeguard our business and is a legal requirement that we must fulfill.

Regulations issued by the Government mean that you must prove who you say you are if you want to hold an account with a financial company. If you require any further help about this, please contact our team on 0113 243 033 or email: info@fgcmoney.com
