Banks must respond to cases when the maximum amount of customer transactions is exceeded.
The National Bank of Ukraine introduced new requirements for financial monitoring of banks. In particular, the regulator obliges banks to respond in cases where the maximum amount of financial transactions declared by the client is exceeded. This was reported by the press service of the NBU.
“The innovations will help improve the effectiveness of financial monitoring measures and create conditions to help reduce the risks of money laundering / terrorist financing and other illegal activities,” explained the National Bank .
The new requirements establish an obligation for banks in the form of a response in cases when the maximum amount of financial transactions declared by the client is exceeded. Such a requirement does not apply to clients – individuals who carry out ordinary financial transactions within amounts and quantities that are reasonably justified.
The list of indicators of suspicion about the client’s financial transactions has been increased, i.e. the maximum amount of financial transactions declared by the client for the establishment of business relations / updated during maintenance of it, and atypical activity on client accounts, more than twice a month.
In addition, procedures for remotely establishing business relationships with e-residents are regulated.
Recall that Ukraine approved a new strategy for the development of the financial sector. The document is based on countering the challenges of war and supporting the country’s economic recovery.
