AML Policy
Rockfield International does not tolerate money laundering and is committed to supporting the fight against money launderers. We adhere to the guidelines set by the UK’s Joint Money Laundering Steering Group. The UK is a full member of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the intergovernmental body responsible for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
Rockfield International has established policies designed to prevent money laundering, which include:
Ensuring clients provide valid proof of identification.
Maintaining records of identification information.
Verifying that clients are not known or suspected terrorists by cross-referencing their names with lists of known or suspected terrorists.
Informing clients that the information they provide may be used to verify their identity.
Monitoring clients’ financial transactions closely.
Not accepting cash, money orders, third-party transactions, exchange house transfers, or Western Union transfers.
Money laundering occurs when funds from illegal or criminal activities are moved through the financial system in a way that disguises their origin, making it appear that the funds have come from legitimate sources.
Money laundering typically occurs in three stages:
Firstly, cash or cash equivalents are introduced into the financial system.
Secondly, the money is transferred or moved to other accounts (e.g., futures accounts) through a series of financial transactions designed to obscure the origin of the funds (e.g., executing trades with little or no financial risk or transferring account balances between accounts).
Finally, the funds are re-introduced into the economy in a manner that makes them appear to have come from legitimate sources (e.g., closing a futures account and transferring the funds to a bank account).Trading accounts are one method used to launder illicit funds or hide the true ownership of the funds. A trading account can be used to conduct financial transactions that obscure the origin of the funds.
Rockfield International ensures that funds are withdrawn back to the original source of remittance as a preventative measure.
International Anti-Money Laundering regulations require financial services institutions to be vigilant regarding potential money laundering activity within customer accounts. Institutions must implement compliance programs to deter, detect, and report suspicious activity.
These guidelines have been established to protect both Rockfield International and its clients.
