Stern Bank a mis en place des directives et des initiatives rigoureuses pour aider ses employés à comprendre et à éviter les violations de conformité liées à la lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent, la protection de l’information et la vie privée, les conflits d’intérêts, etc.
All prospective customers shall be subject to Stern International Bank’s Know Your Customer (“KYC”) identification procedure, in compliance with the entity’s AML and KYC Policies. Stern International Bank also complies with the reserve requirements set forth under Article 4 of Act No. 273 – 2012, as amended, known as the “International Financial Center Regulatory Act” (“IFCRA”), and applicable regulations.
Stern International Bank’s new customer onboarding procedures are designed to verify beneficial ownership, the current legal standing of the entity and proper licensing. Background checks will be conducted with the assistance of several compliance tools to which Stern International Bank subscribes. As part of Stern International Bank’s due diligence process, each applicant undergoes a risk assessment analysis to identify key risk areas that serve as the basis for issuing a risk rating. Risk ratings determine the level of periodic oversight and review for each customer. Stern International Bank’s officers are responsible for conducting customer identification due diligence reviews. Final account approval comes from Stern International Bank’s Chief Compliance Officer or its designee, when it is clearly documented that Stern International Bank has been able to establish a solid understanding of an applicant’s background and business model. A primary objective of KYC policy is to ensure only legal movement of money takes place at Stern International Bank. The risk that illegal deposits will make their way into Stern International Bank are greatly mitigated as all deposit customers will be parties which have been previously established within the Stern International Bank network and have been thoroughly vetted. Once onboarded, the Payments/Deposit Officer will be responsible for client support and reporting.
