Client Identification

Reporting entities must verify the identity of their clients for certain activities and transactions according to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Regulations

Why Client Identification?

The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) mandates that businesses across various sectors adhere to strict identity verification protocols to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Compliance with these regulations is crucial but can be complex and time-consuming.
