…as Money Laundering Law kicks in April 30By Leonard GildarieCommercial banks yesterday made a last-ditch attempt to encourage account-holders to provide them with required documentation with an April 30th deadline fast approaching.With just over a week left,China NFL Jerseys, the Guyana Association of Bankers (GAB) announced that failure to comply will render the accounts inactive or frozen, with ATM cards being inoperable.Under the legislation, all deposit account holders were to provide proof of address and copies of identification, under measures designed to minimize the possibility of money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.The US and other territories have blacklisted a number of countries which have not complied. Nearer to home, Trinidad and Tobago, according to media reports, was facing blacklisting for its failure to get the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) Act passed, but the government on Monday managed to do so after a marathon weekend session.GAB Chairman, John Tracey, during a press conference yesterday at Republic Bank’s New Market Street Headquarters, explained that Guyana had passed its own FIU legislation since 2009. However, two deadlines – May and December last year – have passed without the response from account holders being satisfactory.John Alves, Republic Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasised that this warning is final and there will be no extension.Scotiabank’s head,Cheap NHL Jerseys China, Amanda St. Aubyn and Vinod Sehgal, Managing Director of Bank of Baroda, were also present at the press conference.While GAB declined to disclose the extent of the problem by releasing figures, it did point out that deadlines have resulted in long lines for the commercial banks, New Building Society and Hand In Hand Trust, which all deal with deposit accounts.With a long weekend ahead including Good Friday and Easter Monday, the financial institutions are already bracing themselves for more lengthy queues.According to Tracey, the matter had been worrying the Ministry of Finance and Paul Geer,Discount Football Jerseys, Head of Guyana’s Financial Intelligence Unit.This last attempt, via the media, is intended to galvanize the response, the GBTI banker said.After the April 30 deadline, account-holders who have not complied will see their accounts being made inactive, with only salaries and payments processed.
