Anti-Money Laundering Statement
Money laundering involves disguising the origins of illegally obtained proceeds to make them appear legitimate. Branfold is strictly committed to its legal obligations under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and the Terrorism Act 2000. To uphold these standards, we conduct mandatory identity verification for all vendors and purchasers at the outset of our relationship. Where necessary, we also verify the source of wealth and funds involved in a transaction. In compliance with UK law, we maintain robust procedures to report any suspicious activity to the National Crime Agency.
