Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy & Protection
Anti-Money laundering (AML) legislation came as a response to the growing financial industry. It refers to the regulations and measures intended at uncovering efforts to disguise illicit and illegal funds as legal income.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) seeks to develop strong customer due diligence plans to ensure the information an individual provides is accurate and legitimate, as well as to detect suspicious transactions and assess money laundering risks. AML makes it harder to hide profits from crime ,or use money laundering to make illegal funds appear to have a legitimate source. Bluemina begins with verifying its client’s identity through a process called Know Your Customer (KYC),in addition to understanding the nature of an individual’s activity and verifying deposited funds are from a legitimate origin.
A Second Passport to Avoid International Restrictions
In recent years, growing restrictions and heightened global scrutiny have led investors and entrepreneurs to be more cautious about their financial ventures, especially as many states charge heavy taxes on earned income and profits; on both corporate and personal finances.
Alternative citizenship by investment has proven to be an effective tool for investment security and wealth protection. Dual citizenship offers investors and high-net-worth individuals all the advantages of the new country of residence. Low level of oversight and the reduction or absence of taxes remains the most attractive benefit of all.
