Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer procedures
EuroFiducia is committed to preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and financial crime. We comply with the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD5, Directive 2018/843 and AMLD6, Directive 2018/1673), the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), and Italian Legislative Decree 231/2007 as amended.
Before activating your account, we are required to verify your identity. Our KYC process includes:
We apply risk-based customer due diligence to all clients:
During registration, you are required to declare whether you are a PEP, a family member of a PEP, or a known close associate of a PEP. PEPs are individuals who hold or have held prominent public functions. If you are a PEP, we will apply enhanced due diligence and obtain senior management approval before establishing the business relationship.
We screen all clients against EU, UN, OFAC, and national sanctions lists at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. Accounts matching sanctions lists will be blocked and reported to the relevant authorities. We also screen against lists of known terrorists and financial criminals.
We monitor transactions for suspicious activity using automated and manual processes. Red flags include:
Suspicious transactions are investigated by our compliance team and, where appropriate, reported to TRACFIN (France) or UIF (Unità di Informazione Finanziaria, Italy) — the national financial intelligence units.
Under AML regulations, we are required to report suspicious activities to the relevant financial intelligence unit. Such reports are confidential, and we are prohibited from informing clients that a report has been made (this is known as "tipping off" and is a criminal offense).
We retain KYC documentation, transaction records, and compliance documentation for a minimum of 5 years after the end of the business relationship, in accordance with AMLD5. Certain records may be retained longer where required by other regulatory or tax obligations.
As a client, you agree to:
If we cannot verify your identity, or if we identify suspicious activity, we may:
All EuroFiducia employees receive regular AML/KYC training. Our compliance program is overseen by a designated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and reviewed by senior management and external auditors.
