Banks are key reporting entities under the Law on the Prevention of
Money Laundering and Financing of
Terrorism, because : Money, including dirty money, mainly circulates
through the banking channels.
Highly qualified staff and good equipment enable early detection of unusual transaction patterns.
Their records are complete and available; they provide for prompt reconstruction of individual transactions and can provide evidence for prosecution.
Key role and responsibility of banks in combating money laundering,
through :
Preventing dirty money from entering the system;
Preventing money laundering itself.
BANK
It is necessary for the bank to
completely realize its role in the AML system from the aspect of:
Creating a favorable business environment;
Preserving its own business reputation.
Once the bank realizes and accepts its role in the AML system, it then:
Treats this activity as an integral part of the overall business activity, not as an extra burden,
Does not feel the conflict between the main goal of maximizing income and profit and the measures that prevent entry of dirty money, which may imply sacrifice of charges and profit.
Reporting Officer
The position of the reporting officer is the best indicator of the bank’s attitude
towards the problem of money laundering and terrorism financing.
