What is money laundering?
Modern society currently faces a serious challenge in preventing money laundering, e.g. making the possession,
use, or disposal of money or other property obtained from criminal activities appear to be legal, and terrorism
financing – providing or gathering money or rendering financial services with the knowledge that the money is
intended to finance the organization, preparation for, or execution of terrorist acts or to support a criminal society
(criminal organization) created or being created to perform terrorist acts.
Individuals and legal entities whose income is earned illegally make various attempts to legalize their income.
For example, they may use other people’s personal data, including data that has been acquired fraudulently.
This may become a problem for people who become victims of fraud and are uninvolved in these parties’ criminal
activities.
Laws against money laundering
To prevent money laundering, organizations performing operations with money or other property are obligated
to comply with anti-money laundering laws of their local regulatory framework.
For FS International Limited, this will be the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act No.
13 of 2014. The latter Act requires the verification of the identity of potential clients and assist government
agencies and financial organizations working to combat money laundering. FS International Limited has to
comply and to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Act against money laundering and financing
terrorism.
Client identity verification procedure
To ensure Compliance with the AML & CTF ACT requirements, the client identification procedure has to be
performed prior of the establishment of any business relationship; thus, it is performed during the registration
process.
Ongoing monitoring of the identification and verification procedures is performed on various types of non-trading
operations, and as part of monitoring by our designated teams.

The identification and verification procedure may take several working days to be completed; however, the
process must be completed within the timeline of fifteen (15) working days. Failure to complete the process within
the aforesaid timeline will mean that the registration is revoked.
