Declarations

Anti Money Laundering

abrdn operates a reliance model to comply with AML regulation.

By selecting the checkboxes below, you agree to the following statements for AML regulation and identity of your customers:

Your firm has an Anti Money Laundering (AML), Counter Terrorism Finance (CTF) and Sanctions policies and procedures which are documented, regularly reviewed (at least annually), approved and implemented*

The most basic difference between terrorist financing and money laundering involves the origin of the funds. Terrorist financing uses funds for an illegal political purpose, but the money is not necessarily derived from illicit proceeds. On the other hand, money laundering always involves the proceeds of illegal activity. The purpose of laundering is to enable the money to be used legally.

All of your employees are trained on all AML, CTF and Sanctions policies and procedures*

You verify the identity of all customers prior to adding them to the Platforms (i.e. money is not placed on the Platform before you know who the customer/client is) and as part of verification you capture:

ID details*

Nationality - This is key to understand if the individual could be at risk to exposure from a sanctioned country.*

Employment detail - i.e. employment status (unemployed, employed, self-employed, retired, student), job title and industry.*

Understanding of why customer wants to invest*
