3. CANADA'S LEGISLATION TO COMBAT MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORIST FINANCING

Anti-money laundering:

Money laundering became an offence in Canada several years ago, under amendments to the Criminal Code. These amendments also gave law enforcement the ability to search, seize and restrain property believed to be proceeds of crime.

The criminalization of the laundering of proceeds of crime (money laundering) led to many other legislative changes, such as amendments to the Customs Act and the Excise Act, among others. The first components of Canada's anti-money laundering regime consisted of certain record keeping and client identification requirements to assist in the detection and deterrence of money laundering. Although there were no reporting requirements at that time, information about any suspicious transactions could be provided voluntarily to law enforcement.

In 2000, the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act was introduced as part of these measures to create an anti-money laundering regime. In 2001, the first reporting requirement came into effect for suspicious transactions. These measures were subsequently enhanced and additional components were introduced. That same year, the scope of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act was expanded to include terrorist financing (see information about the Anti-terrorism Act in subsection 4.2). This resulted in the former Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) Act becoming the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA).

Over the course of 2002 and 2003, other requirements under the PCMLTFA and related Regulations were phased-in, such as record keeping, client identification and other reporting obligations.

In 2006, amendments to the PCMLTFA introduced changes such as the establishment of a money services businesses registry, the authority to levy administrative monetary penalties and the addition of new reporting sectors, among others. They also included measures to strengthen reporting, record keeping, client identification and compliance regime requirements. These changes were phased in over the course of 2007 to 2009.

Anti-terrorism:

The Government of Canada has taken steps to combat terrorist activities at home and abroad. These steps include signing and ratifying United Nations (UN) Conventions, such as the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and implementing related UN resolutions through Regulations. They also include introducing tough new anti-terrorism measures in legislation called the Anti-terrorism Act.

The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act:

Objectives of the Act

The Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) has three key objectives:

• to implement specific measures to detect and deter money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities and to facilitate investigations and prosecution of the related offences.

• to respond to the threat posed by organized crime by providing law enforcement officials with the information they need to deprive criminals of the proceeds of their criminal activities, while protecting individual privacy; and

• to help fulfil Canada's international commitments to fight multinational crime.

The specific measures include the following:

Compliance regime, record keeping, client identification and reporting

Reporting entities (see subsection 5.2) have to implement a compliance regime, keep certain records and ascertain client identification. They have to report suspicious transactions and terrorist property to FINTRAC. They also have to report certain other financial transactions to FINTRAC (see subsection 5.3).

Cross-border currency reporting

The import or export of currency or monetary instruments of $10,000 or more has to be reported to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). For more information on cross-border currency reporting, visit the CBSA Web site at http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca, or call their toll-free enquiries line at 1-800-461-9999.

Creation of FINTRAC

FINTRAC is an independent agency, at arm's length from law enforcement agencies, responsible for collecting, analysing and, in appropriate circumstances, disclosing certain limited information to law enforcement agencies.

FINTRAC is required to ensure that personal information under its control is protected from unauthorized disclosure and is subject to the Privacy Act.

These measures contribute to maintaining the integrity of Canada's financial infrastructure. They also represent sound business practices for reporting entities to help them minimize their risk of being exposed to money laundering or terrorist financing and their negative consequences. Canada's regime is consistent with FATF's initiative to establish international standards aimed at improving national legal systems, enhancing the role of financial systems and strengthening international co-operation in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The measures help detect and deter organized criminal activities as well as terrorist activities in Canada and help ensure Canada is not used to facilitate money laundering or terrorist financing.

Anti-terrorism Act:

In 2001, Canada's Anti-terrorism Act (ATA) created measures to deter, disable, identify, prosecute, convict and punish terrorist groups. It provided new investigative tools for law enforcement and national security agencies. It also ensured that Canadian values of respect and fairness are preserved and the root causes of hatred are addressed through stronger laws against hate crimes and propaganda. The package also included rigorous safeguards to ensure that the fundamental rights and freedoms of Canadians are upheld.

The ATA brought significant additions to the Criminal Code to include offences relating to terrorist activities and the financing of terrorism. These make it a crime to do any of the following:

• knowingly collect or provide funds, either directly or indirectly, to carry out terrorist activities;

• knowingly participate in, contribute to or facilitate the activities of a terrorist group;

• instruct anyone to carry out a terrorist activity on behalf of a terrorist group; or

• knowingly harbour or conceal a terrorist.

The Criminal Code also included a requirement similar to the one described under the heading United Nations Suppression of Terrorism Regulations above. This requires anyone in Canada, as well as Canadians outside Canada, to disclose to the RCMP and CSIS the existence of any property in their possession or control that they know is owned or controlled by or on behalf of a terrorist group. This includes information about any transaction or proposed transaction relating to that property. Information is to be provided to them, without delay, as follows:

RCMP, unclassified fax: 613-825-7030

CSIS Financing Unit, unclassified fax: 613-369-2303

A terrorist group includes anyone that has as one of their purposes or activities facilitating or carrying out any terrorist activity. This can be an individual, a group, a trust, a partnership or a fund. It can also be an unincorporated association or organization. A list of terrorist groups is published in the Regulations Establishing a List of Entities made under the Criminal Code.

4. MONEY LAUNDERING

Money Laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to hide and disguise the true origin and ownership of the proceeds of their criminal activities, thereby avoiding criminal prosecution, conviction, and confiscation of the illegally obtained funds.

The ability to launder the proceeds of criminal activity through the financial systems of the world is vital to the success of criminal operations.

It is always our duty to be vigilant in all aspects of our business as criminals continuously probe to find weaknesses in the system and look at various methods to convert illegally obtained money.

Money Laundering can take many forms including:

▪ Handling the proceeds of crimes generated by such activities as theft, drug smuggling, fraud and tax evasion

▪ Being knowingly involved in any way with criminal property

▪ Entering arrangements to facilitate laundering criminal property

▪ Investing the proceeds of crime- in another financial product (e.g. a money transfer)

▪ Investing the proceeds of crime into the acquisition of property/assets

There are three recognized stages in the money laundering process:

Placement: involves placing the proceeds of criminal conduct in the financial system.

Layering: involves converting the proceeds of criminal conduct into another form and creating complex layers of financial transactions to disguise the audit trail and the source and ownership of funds. This stage may involve transactions such as the buying and selling of stocks, commodities, or property.

Integration: involves placing the laundered proceeds back in the economy to create the perception of legitimacy

5. TERRORIST FINANCING

Terrorism financing is the provision or collection of funds with the intention that they should be used (or in the knowledge that they are to be used), in full or in part, in order to carry out acts that are associated with the support of terrorists or terrorist organizations, whether to further their causes or to commit acts of terrorism.

Money, usually in the form of hard cash, is vital for any terrorist organization. The absence of money makes it almost impossible for the organization to function.

Therefore, to protect themselves and achieve success in their harmful acts, terrorists work hard to concealing their money and its true origin. The process is a joint effort between people who are recruited to raise funds for terrorist PAY and the terrorist quartermaster/PAY Director who mastermind the process the remittance and receipt of the funds.

Elements of Terrorist Funding

▪ The primary objective behind terrorist funding is to intimidate or force a government or population to do or abstain from doing any act. In money laundering the objective is monetary gain.

▪ The volume of remittances for terrorist funding need not have to be large as compared to money laundering. They will vary according to the strategies and methods adopted by the terrorists.

▪ Terrorist funds need not be from illegal sources always. In some cases, funds are also sourced from legal income.

What can we do to fight terrorist funding?

Prevention- We have to prevent our products and services from used by terrorists for transferring their money. This can be done by applying appropriate “Know Your Customer” Policies and Procedures.

Pursuit- We have to track down the terrorist transactions by blocking their names. In case you come across any blacklisted names, it has to be immediately reported to the concerned authorities.

Protection- We have to protect our institution, our reputation, customers, our jobs and our communities where we operate. We have to protect by being responsible in our duties. If you have reasonable cause to suspect that it may be used, in whole or in part for the purpose of terrorism, then it should be immediately reported the concerned Compliance Officer for necessary action.

The fight against money laundering & terrorist financing is an evolving and never-ending process. Money laundering not only harms the public as a whole, but it taints the financial services industry. It clearly is in the best interests of the financial industry to take all feasible action to prevent money laundering. Therefore, we need to work together and cooperate to fight against the challenges posed by this social evil.

All staff, partners and affiliates of “GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.” are required to maintain the highest level of due diligence when engaging in any aspects of remittance services.

Our policy has always been to conduct our business in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

For this reason, GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. is required to conduct an AML risk assessment of its business, customers, products, and the geographic location in which it operates, in accordance with a standard risk assessment methodology.

The Compliance Manager/MLRO must determine the AML vulnerabilities of GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s products/services, the AML risks associated with the geographies in which it operates, and the AML risks of the customers with whom it deals. The Compliance Manager/MLRO must also assess the effectiveness of GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s controls to manage and mitigate the AML risks. The selection of risk categories and the weights given to risk categories in a money laundering risk assessment vary depending on the circumstances.

In order to provide a framework for identifying AML risks, the Compliance Manager/MLRO shall conduct a money laundering risk assessment by first determining inherent money laundering risk, then reviewing mitigating controls, and in consideration of the inherent risk and mitigating controls, determine the overall residual money laundering risk. The results of the risk assessment and any recommendations for control improvements must be provided to senior management for review and approval. Results of the money laundering risk assessment, the methodology, the analysis, and any supporting documentation of each will be maintained for at least five years. GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. will carry out regular reviews of accounts to understand the nature of the relationship with the customer by conducting a profile assessment. This will involve analyzing the history of the account including, frequency of transactions, amounts sent and received, beneficiaries, source of funds and jurisdictions used. This list is not exhaustive.

GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s money laundering risk assessments must be updated on a regular basis, generally at least annually. GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s AML risk assessment must also be updated whenever material changes occur to

products, services, customer or geographies that would directly impact the risk assessment. Any new product or new line of business must undergo a full AML risk assessment.

8. CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION & VERIFICATION

GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. will collect specific Customer Due Diligence from each user and will use the services of an external electronic KYC solutions provider – (Sumsub - https://sumsub.com/main/) software to verify the customer’s identity as provided in their identification document, according to the verification limit as specified in Section “C” below. “SumSub” utilizes proprietary technology and document experts to verify credentials such as passports and driver licenses and is able to authenticate different global identity document types. GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. had deployed in house solution and also utilizing the technology and sources of “Lexis Nexis” to authenticate customers against Sanction & PEP listing, Globally.

B. CUSTOMERS WHO REFUSE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION

For those customers who have queries regarding the necessity of providing identification, we will advise that identifying and verifying all our customers is part of the Anti-Money Laundering regulations. If, however a potential or existing customer refuses to provide the information described above when requested, or appears to have intentionally provided misleading information, we will not approve the customer’s registration, and if, after consultation with the Compliance Manager/MLRO or Designee, it is deemed to be appropriate GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD LTD will fill the SAR.

C.VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION

To the extent reasonable and practicable, at the time a customer relationship is established, GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. will ensure, based on our assessment of the AML-related risks posed by the customer’s location, nationality, and overall profile, that we have sufficient information to form a reasonable belief that we know the true identity of our customers. In verifying customer identity, we will analyze any logical inconsistencies in the information we obtain through documentary evidence.

Verification Thresholds;

➢ For individual Customers we collect and verify IDs at the time of account/relationship establishment

➢ For Corporate/Business Customers we do complete verification at the stage of On-boarding and all transaction carried by Corporate customers are supported with Invoices/Proof.

We will rely on a government-issued identification as verification of a customer’s identity. However, if we detect that the document evidences some form of fraud or other irregularities, we will consider that factor in determining whether we can form a reasonable belief that we know the customer's true identity.

If a customer’s identity cannot successfully be validated based on the information in GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s possession, GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. may, in its sole discretion, contact the customer and request that the customer provide:

➢ a true and correct copy of the customer’s unexpired, government-issued identification with a photograph, and;

➢ a copy of any current utility bill where the name and mailing address on the bill match the information provided by the customer.

In cases where we find information that indicates possible suspicious activity such as money laundering, terrorist financing activity, or any other criminal activity, a SAR will be filed.

Customers who have been identified as genuine sanctioned individuals at onboarding or during the relationship with GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD., will result in their account being blocked/cancelled. The KYC/

Monitoring analysts will coordinate with the Compliance Manager/MLRO who will raise and report a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the National Crime Agency (FINTRAC). In addition, a report will also be made to the office of Financial Sanctions. A record will be maintained of the account in line with GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.’s record keeping requirements.

D. RECORDKEEPING

We will document our verification, including all identifying information provided by a customer, the methods used and results of verification, and the resolution of any discrepancy in the identifying information. We will maintain records confidentially containing a description of any document that we relied on to verify a customer's identity, noting the type of document, any identification number contained in the document, the place of issuance, the date of issuance, if any, and expiration date. These records will be retained for at least five (5) years following termination of the customer relationship or dormancy of an account. However, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), after obtaining data, we will not retain personal data longer than is necessary.

9. TRANSACTION MONITORING

Transaction monitoring is an essential aspect of effective KYC procedures. GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. aims to effectively control and reduce the risk by having an understanding of normal and reasonable account activity of all customers, to ensure transactions which fall outside the regular pattern of an account’s activity can be identified. The extent of the monitoring is risk-sensitive by establishing limits for all accounts, with particular attention paid to transactions which are declined or exceed these limits.

Certain transactions may raise an alert to unusual or suspicious activities (see suspicious activity reporting policy). These may include transactions that do not appear to make economic or commercial sense, or that involve large amount transfers which are not consistent with the normal and expected transactions of the customer.

Intensified monitoring is conducted for accounts deemed to be of a higher risk. A risk assessment will be conducted, taking into account the background of the customer, such as the country of origin and source of funds, the type of transactions involved, and other risk factors. For higher risk accounts:

➢ GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. ensures that adequate management information systems are in place to provide senior managers and compliance with timely information needed to identify, analyse and effectively monitor higher risk accounts.

➢ GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD. has a clear policy and internal guidelines, procedures and controls and remains especially vigilant regarding business relationships with PEPs, high profile individuals or with any persons that are clearly related or associated to a PEP. As all PEPs may not be identified initially and since existing customers may subsequently acquire a PEP status, regular reviews will be conducted periodically.

Enhanced Due Diligence Limits for Individual/Corporate customers are as follows;

➢ 5,000 CAD in one-off Transaction by any individual customer and or accumulative in period of 360 days exceeds 30,000 CAD

➢ All Transaction of Corporate customer are subject to Monitoring and approval of MLRO/NO, Enhanced Due Diligence will be carried in case Corporate customer exceeds the Transaction Limits (Count/Volume) as specified at on-boarding stage.

10. SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTING

What is Suspicious Activity:

“Suspicious activity” is a difficult concept to define because it can vary from one transaction to another based upon on all the circumstances surrounding the transaction, or group of transactions. However in general suspicious transactions refers to any transaction or group of transactions about which doubts arise with the registered person concerning their link to money laundering and terrorist financing through their unusual size, repetition, nature, conditions and circumstances surrounding them, their unusual pattern that does not involve a clear economic objective or an obvious legal purpose, if the activities of the persons involved in the transaction(s) do not conform with their normal activities. For example, transactions by one customer may be normal because of your knowledge of that customer, while similar transactions by another customer may be suspicious.

In brief, the factors involved in determining whether transactions are suspicious, including the amount, the location of your business, comments made by your customer, the customer’s behavior etc. A good rule to follow is that if a transaction is inconsistent with the business or personal circumstances of a customer and there is no reasonable explanation for the inconsistency, then it may be suspicious. Just because a customer appears on the suspect list it does not mean that he/she is involved in illegal activity. It only means that such transaction requires closer scrutiny.

What is Suspicious Activity Reporting:

The Suspicious Activity Report is a tool for identifying and reporting transactions that could be related to money laundering or terrorist financing. You need to refer any transactions you consider suspicious to “GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.” by:

▪ Completing a Suspicious Activity Report Manual/Electronic form for any transaction or pattern of transactions – completed or attempted – that is suspicious.

▪ Faxing the completed Manual form to “GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.” or to your local Regulator if required by law as soon as the suspicious activity is discovered

The JMLSG guidance explains the core obligations of receiving and reporting of suspicious activity

▪ All staff must raise an internal report where they have knowledge or suspicion, or where there are reasonable grounds for having knowledge or suspicion, that another person is engaged in money laundering, or that terrorist property exists

▪ The firm’s nominated officer (or their appointed alternate) must consider all internal reports

▪ The firm’s nominated officer (or their appointed alternate) must make an external report to the National Crime Agency (FINTRAC) as soon as is practicable if he considers that there is knowledge, suspicion, or reasonable grounds for knowledge or suspicion, that another person is engaged in money laundering, or that terrorist property exists

▪ The firm must seek consent from the FINTRAC before proceeding with a suspicious transaction or entering arrangements

▪ Firms must freeze funds if a customer is identified as being on the Consolidated List on the HM Treasury website of suspected terrorists or sanctioned individuals and entities, and make an external report to HM Treasury

▪ It is a criminal offence for anyone, following a disclosure to a nominated officer or to the FINTRAC, to do or say anything that might either ‘tip off’ another person that a disclosure has been made or prejudice an investigation

▪ The firm’s nominated officer (or their appointed alternate) must report suspicious approaches, even if no transaction takes place

▪ Actions required, to be kept under regular review

▪ Enquiries made in respect of disclosures must be documented

▪ The reasons why a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) was, or was not, submitted should be recorded

▪ Any communications made with or received from the authorities, including the FINTRAC, in relation to a SAR should be maintained on file

▪ In cases where advance notice of a transaction or of arrangements is given, the need for prior consent before it can proceed should be considered

Persons in the regulated sector are required to make a report in respect of information that comes to them within the course of a business in the regulated sector:

▪ where they know or

▪ where they suspect or

▪ where they have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting

That a person is engaged in, or attempting, money laundering or terrorist financing. Within this guidance, the above obligations are collectively referred to as “grounds for knowledge or suspicion”.

B. SUSPICIOUS INDICATORS

The following lists are provided for staff as an aid to whether a particular transaction may be suspicious. The list is not limited to and staff & Agents should consider all the circumstances of a particular transaction before deciding whether to report any issues to the MLRO.

New customers and occasional or “one-off” transactions:

▪ Checking identity is proving difficult.

▪ The customer is reluctant to provide details of their identity.

▪ There is no genuine reason for the customer using the services of an MSB ▪ A transaction is unusually large.

▪ The customer does not disclose the source of funds.

▪ The explanation for the business and/or the amounts involved is not credible.

▪ A series of transactions are structured just below the regulatory threshold for due diligence identity checks.

▪ The customer has made an unusual request for collection or delivery.

▪ Transactions having no apparent purpose, or which make no obvious financial sense, or which seem to involve unnecessary complexity.

▪ Unnecessary routing of funds through third parties.

For Regular and established customers.

▪ The transaction is different from the normal business of the customer.

▪ The size of frequency of the transaction is not consistent with the normal activities of the customer.

▪ The pattern of transactions has changed since the business relationship was established.

▪ Money transfers to high-risk jurisdictions without reasonable explanation, which are not consistent with the customer’s usual foreign business dealings.

▪ Sudden increases in the frequency/value of transactions of a particular customer without reasonable explanation.

▪ Examples where customer identification issues have potential to indicate suspicious activity.

▪ The customer refuses or appears reluctant to provide information requested.

▪ There appears to be inconsistencies in the information provided by the customer.

▪ The customer’s area of residence is inconsistent with other profile details such as employment.

▪ An address appears vague or unusual.

▪ The supporting documentation does not add validity to the other information provided by the customer.

▪ The customer is in a hurry to rush a transaction through, with promises to provide the information later.

Examples of activity that might suggest to staff that there could be potential terrorist activity:

• The customer is unable to satisfactorily explain the source of income.

• Frequent address changes.

• Media reports on suspected or arrested terrorists or groups.

Below are some indications of suspicious behaviour for customers paying through online means:

• Having access to multiple number of cards compared to a normal customer

• IP difference

• AVS failure

• Provided contact details not correct or not reachable

• Changing address details per card usage

• Changing beneficiaries

• Ethnic difference between payer and sender

C.PROCEEDURE FOR REPORTING SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

Any member of staff, who is suspicious that a transaction may involve money laundering or who becomes aware in the course of their work that someone else is involved in money laundering, must make a disclosure to the MLRO using the report form, by mean of email or using system.

Upon receipt of the Internal SAR by the MLRO, he will then decide what is to be done as a result of the report, e.g., whether the matter must be reported to the FINTRAC or not, or further enquiries made and record its decision and the reason for it on the report form on the Database. The member of staff concerned must be informed of the decision and the reasons for it.

If the matter is referred to the FINTRAC the MLRO or his deputy will be responsible for completing the FINTRAC report form and discussing with the reporting member of staff how matters with the client/transaction are to be conducted from that stage.

In accordance with the tipping off provisions, the report must not be discussed with the customer.

11. AML/CTF TRAINING OF STAFF

12. RETENTION OF RECORDS

General Legal Requirements

We will only be successful in demonstrating our compliance with the requirements of the regulations through keeping evidence and records of:

▪ Due diligence checks made and

▪ Information held on customers and transactions.

These records are crucial in any subsequent investigation by FIU, the police or other Supervisory Authority in the EU host state. They will enable the business to produce a sound defence against any suspicion of involvement in money laundering or terrorist financing, or charges of failure to comply with the Regulations.

The records that must be kept

The records that must be kept are:

▪ A copy of, or the references to, the evidence of the customer’s identity obtained under the customer due diligence requirements in the Regulations. Clear copies of the forms of identification presented by customers, or a record of where they can be obtained, should be retained.

▪ The supporting evidence and records in respect of the business relationships and occasional transactions which are the subject of customer due diligence measures or on-going monitoring. Records must be kept and should include the name and address of the customer.

In relation to the evidence of a customer’s due diligence “GLACIX FINANCE SOLUTION LTD.” must keep the following records:

• All copies of documents accepted and verified as evidence for conduct of due diligence and

• All other References to the evidence of customer’s identity

• Transaction and business relationship records including evidence of the customers’ source of fund (including account files, relevant business correspondence, daily log books, receipts, cheques etc.) should be maintained in a form from which a satisfactory audit trail may be compiled, and which may establish a financial profile of any suspect account or customer.

How long the customer due diligence records must be kept?

Evidence of customer’s identity records must be kept for minimum of five years beginning from the end of the year during which the date of completion of the transaction or the termination of the business relationship occurred.

The same retention period applies to records of transactions (whether undertaken as occasional transactions or part of a business relationship).

In what format must the records be kept?

Records may therefore be kept:

▪ By way of original documents

▪ By way of good photocopies of original documents

▪ In scanned form

▪ In computerized or electronic form.

It must be ensured, however, that the data stored electronically is consistent with the original document.
