Where we find suspicious information that indicates possible money laundering, terrorist financing activity, or other suspicious activity, we will, in conjunction with our MLRO, report that activity in accordance with applicable law.
12. Where we are not able to confirm with a reasonable degree of certainty the true identity of the Account owner and/or we are not satisfied that the Account owner presents an acceptable level of risk to us, we may:
  1. deactivate or suspend the Account;
  2. close the Account after attempts to verify the Account owner identity fails; and 11.12.3. determine whether it is necessary to inform regulators and regulatory bodies in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
13. We may within a reasonable period of time after the Account is opened (or earlier, if required by another law or regulation or directive issued in connection with an applicable list) determine whether an Account owner appears on any government-issued list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organisations following which we may, as required and/or permitted by applicable laws, submit such information to applicable regulatory bodies.
14. We maintain records of our verification for anti-money laundering purposes, including information provided by the Account owner regarding their identity, as well as specific details contained within those documents. Subject to our Privacy, Data Use and Retention Policy and applicable data protection laws, we will retain records of all identification information for six years from the date such information is provided to us or an Account is closed, whichever is later. The information we hold will be treated as confidential unless disclosure is required to a third party, in which case such disclosure shall be made in accordance with applicable laws and only to the extent required. We are legally obligated to collect and maintain this information, and may be legally obligated to continue maintaining it notwithstanding any request made by you to us to erase such information, where required and permitted under applicable data protection laws and those relating to AML.
15.
