  • TCSP licensees are required to take all reasonable measures to ensure that the Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) & Counter-Terrorist Financing (“CTF”) requirements under the AMLO are complied with. To fulfill these requirements, TCSP licensees are required to implement proper procedures in customer’s due diligence, customers monitoring, customers risk assessment, record keeping, and reporting of suspicious transactions. TCSP licensees are the point of contact of the law enforcement units in Hong Kong in relation to the investigation regarding the AML/CTF.
