Given the increasing emphasis placed today on the combat of money laundering and terrorism financing around the globe, it has become a general practice for banks to publish the following documents:
- A global certificate that is available to all financial institutions with relations with any branch of the Bank based outside the United States, called “Patriot Act Certificate”. In accordance with regulations issued by the US Department of the Treasury, US banks or broker-dealers in securities ("Covered Financial Institutions") are required to obtain certain information from any Foreign Institution that maintains relationships with them
- An Anti-Money Laundering Questionnaire prepared by Wolfsberg Group for Haitong Bank viewing the prevention and detection of money laundering
