Anti-money laundering

What you need to know

The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 and related rules (AML/CTF) require reporting entities, such as Macquarie, to establish and maintain an AML/CTF Program to identify, manage and mitigate the money laundering and terrorism financing risks associated with Macquarie’s products, customers, delivery channels and jurisdictions. This includes carrying out a procedure that verifies a customer’s identity before providing a designated service to the customer (Customer Identification Procedures or CIP).

You should refer to the product document for more information about how to apply, including the identification information which you are required to submit together with your application form.

For some products, we require that you provide us with the identification form developed by the Financial Services Council and the Financial Planning Association of Australia Limited (FSC/FPA Form). Please check the relevant product document to see if this is the case.

Information for financial advisers

AML/CTF permits product issuers to rely (where this is deemed to be appropriate) on the customer verification undertaken by others, such as financial advisers who hold an Australian Financial Services licence, who are also required to undertake customer verification. This has the benefit of avoiding costly and time-consuming duplication of effort and possible delay in processing applications.

To facilitate this efficiency, Financial Services Council and the Financial Planning Association of Australia Limited have developed various identification forms (FSC/FPA Forms) which financial advisers can complete for their clients who are applying for products. The completed relevant forms would then be submitted with the product application forms to product issuers, to confirm that the customer verification procedure has been completed with respect to the financial adviser’s clients.

You should refer to the product document for more information about the identification information which you are required to submit together with the application form.
