COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

SECTION-A COMPLIANCE POLICY

1) Introduction-What is Compliance

Compliance means Respecting and adhering to all the regulations and supervisory
expectations
relevant to a financial institution. Compliance is concerned with the legality and integrity with
which a business is conducted throughout the Bank. In other words, compliance within the bank
is
to ensure that the bank conducts its business with full regards to all applicable regulatory
requirements and at the highest ethical standards. Good compliance can enhance reputation
through improved services and efficient implementation of new business initiatives.
Non Compliance with regulations can create a negative image and expose the bank to punitive
actions by the regulators. Therefore, non-compliance can lead towards reputational and
regulatory
risk.
2) Purpose:

The purpose of this policy is to outline objectives of compliance policy, role of compliance
function, definition of compliance, roles and responsibilities of compliance officers, reporting
line,
independence of compliance function, relationship with internal audit & regulatory bodies, and
requirements of SBP & other relevant laws & regulations.
3) Objectives:

Following are the main objectives of the compliance policy:


Ensuring Banks compliance to all the relevant laws and regulations
Ensuring that the Banks business is conducted with highest levels of integrity and ethical
standards

4) Role and Scope of Compliance Function

The Compliance function is an integral part of internal control. The role of compliance function is
to advise Senior Management on compliance of rules and regulations; provide guidance in this
respect throughout the organization. Identify, measure and assess compliance risk along with
monitoring, testing and reporting at appropriate levels.

It is to be understood that compliance is not a function merely confined to the Compliance


Division
rather it is the duty of each employee of the Bank to ensure compliance with all the internal
/external directives/laws. Accordingly, every staf is responsible for the identification and
reporting
of non-compliance with regulations for his/her area of activity. The simple principle is that staf
must know and remain within the law and comply with internal policies and procedures, which
have been developed to ensure that a satisfactory system of internal controls is in place to
attain the
business objectives. All staf must keep themselves abreast of the requirements and ensure
compliance with aspects related to their work. Staf must never act in a manner that can be
detrimental
5) to the
Role of Board of Banks reputation.
Directors (BOD) & Senior Management

The Banks Board of Directors, being the apex body is responsible for ensuring that an
appropriate
policy is in place to manage the banks compliance risk. The Board will oversee the
implementation of the policy, ensuring that compliance issues are resolved efectively and
expeditiously by senior management with the assistance of the compliance function.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

The Banks senior management is responsible for the efective management of the banks
compliance risk and reporting of any compliance failure to Board of Directors on regular basis.

The responsibility of senior management is to ensure that the compliance policy entails
responsibility for ensuring that appropriate remedial or disciplinary action are taken if breaches
are
identified. Moreover, senior management will also be responsible to oversee if sufficient
resources
are provided to the Compliance Division in order to smoothly discharge its responsibilities.
6) Maintenance and Updating of the Compliance Policy

The basic responsibility of maintaining and updating this policy resides with the Head of
Compliance & Control, The review and updating of this policy shall be an on-going
process to ensure continuous alignment of the Banks businesses with the Bank-wide
strategy and the internal and external dynamics in which the Bank operates. Such
factors
shall include the developments, changes and trends required by laws applicable within
the

banking industry.
The Board of Directors is the approving authority. The President & CEO shall be
authorized to allow interim approval of any proposed changes in this policy and their
implementation, only in cases where the changes do not require any material
amendments
to the bank-wide strategy and are required to be efected promptly. However, any such
changes shall be subject to subsequent ratification by the Board of Directors.

COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

SECTION-B KYC/AML POLICY

1. Objectives

To protect itself from the increasing danger of organized criminal activity and anti-money
laundering, it is essential for the Bank to have clearly laid down policies on Know Your
Customer
(KYC) and Anti- Money Laundering (AML). Through the implementation of these policies and
procedures, the Bank will have an adequate system of controls for efective prevention of anti-
money laundering and will be able to ensure that there is consistency in treatment of our
customers.

Money launderers need the worlds banking systems to launder the proceeds of their crimes and
all
banks in all countries are vulnerable. Cash based societies and countries without fully
comprehensive anti-money laundering programs (comprising legislation, regulation and
financial
sector procedures) are especially attractive to the launderers.
Thus, our own degree of vigilance must reflect these potential vulnerabilities. Cash payments
arising from drug related crimes are by no means the only risk. Fraud, for example, does not
generate any cash, but the extensive proceeds still need to be laundered. Corruption by various
individual\ls and companies including public officials inevitably involves fraud or theft and
handling the proceeds of large scale corruption can produce a serious reputational risk for the
bank.
In addition, preventative measures put in place by International Financial Institutions over the
past
decade have resulted in the need for criminals to use more complex routes to gain access to the
financial system, rather than placing their cash directly into the bank. It must be stressed that
all of
the banks products and services are at risk from being used by criminals to launder the
proceeds
2. Purposeof
their crime.
The main purpose of this policy is to outline the SBP requirements on KYC/AML, the
responsibilities of branchs staf and Compliance Officers with regards to transaction monitoring/
reporting. This policy also defines the system for customer identification, record keeping,
monitoring and internal & external reporting of suspicious or unusual transactions.

3. Definition of Money Laundering

Money Laundering is defined as the process by which criminals attempt to conceal the true
origin
and ownership of the proceeds of their criminal activities. If undertaken successfully, it also
allows
the perpetrator(s) to maintain control of those proceeds and, ultimately, provides a legitimate
cover
The first step in the laundering process is for criminals to attempt to get the proceeds of their
for their source of income.
crimes into a bank or other financial institution, sometimes using a false identity. They can then
transfer the proceeds to other accounts, here or abroad, or use it to buy other goods or
services.
It eventually appears to be like any legally earned money and becomes difficult to trace back to
its
criminal past. The criminals can then invest or spend it or, as often the case is, use it to fund
more
criminal activities.
The laundering process is often described as taking place in three
stages:-
3.1 Placement
Placement being the first stage is the means by which funds derived from a criminal activity are
introduced into the financial system, either directly or through using other retail businesses.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

This can be in the form of large sums of cash or a series of smaller sums. Initial proceeds of
drug
trafficking or street sales of drugs are always in cash. During this initial phase, the money
launderer introduces the illegal proceeds into the financial system. Often, this is accomplished
by
placing the funds into circulation through financial institutions, casinos, shops and other
businesses, both domestic and international. This phase can involve transactions such as:
Breaking up large amounts of cash into smaller sums and depositing them directly into a
bank account.
Transporting cash across borders to deposit in foreign financial institutions, or to buy high-
value goods such as artwork, antiques, and precious metals and stones that can then
be resold for payment by check or bank transfer.
3.2 Layering
The aim of the second stage is to disguise the transaction through a succession of complex
financial transactions with the purpose of erasing as quickly as possible all links with its
unlawful
origin. The funds may be converted into shares, bonds or any other easily negotiable asset or
may
be transferred to other accounts in other jurisdictions.
This second stage involves converting the proceeds of the crime into another form and creating
complex layers of financial transactions to disguise the audit trail, source and ownership of
funds.
This phase can involve transactions such as:
Sending wire transfers of funds from one account to another, sometimes to or from other
institutions or jurisdictions.
Converting deposited cash into monetary instruments (e.g.travelers checks).
Reselling high-value goods and prepaid access/stored value products.
Investing in real estate and legitimate businesses.
Placing money in investments such as stocks, bonds or life insurance.
Using shell companies or other structures whose primary intended business purpose is to
obscure the ownership of assets.

3.3 Integration
Complex integration schemes then place the laundered funds back into the economy through
real
estate, business assets, securities and equities, in such a way that they re-enter the financial
system
appearing as normal business funds that have been legitimately earned.
The largest amount of criminal money that needs to be laundered comes from the sale of illegal
drugs, primarily heroin, cocaine and cannabis.

Third stage entails using laundered proceeds in transactions that apparently appear normal in
order
to create the perception of legitimacy. The launderer, for instance, might choose to invest the
funds
in real estate, financial ventures or luxury assets. By the integration stage, it is exceedingly
difficult
to distinguish between legal and illegal wealth. This stage provides a launderer the opportunity
to
increase his wealth with the proceeds of crime. Integration is generally difficult to spot unless

COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

5. Responsibilities

Adherence to the Anti-money laundering policies and procedures is the responsibility of the
Management who has delegated this responsibility to Head of Compliance & Control. The Head
of
Compliance & Control shall act as the Reporting Officer for all money laundering cases and shall
ensure monitoring and compliance with these policies and procedures. Compliance Division will
perform compliance of-site testing of KYC/AML practices, on an ongoing basis, to ensure that
these policies are being complied with at branches in letter and spirit through adequate sample
or
complete checking depending on the volume of transactions. Further, onsite testing will be
performed by Compliance Division to review the performance of branches. The schedule and
visits
to branches shall be planned in accordance with the latest Internal Audit Rating/Compliance
Rating,
The SBP Observations

plan for of-site branch size.
on-site reviews is covered in the Compliance Program
separately,
which is derived from the Compliance Policy of the Bank.
Prudential Regulations (PR) on Anti Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of
Terrorism (AML/CFT) Regulations issued by State Bank of Pakistan make it mandatory for every
Commercial Bank / Financial Institution to put in place procedures to combat Money Laundering.
A Commercial Bank would render itself liable for imposition of heavy penalties by SBP if these
regulations are not strictly complied with. It is obligatory on SMBL, its management and staf to
follow the procedures strictly as outlined in these prudential regulations as well as Anti-Money
Laundering Act of 2010 and any subsequent amendments.

There are personal obligations on every member of management and staf that:
It is an ofence to assist anyone whom you know, or suspect to be, laundering money
generated
illegally. In the financial sector, assistance can be provided by, for example, opening a bank
account, accepting deposits, making transfers/payments, advancing a loan, issuing/accepting
letters of credit.
If you know or suspect that a transaction is related to any illegal activity, you must report it in
order to get protection against a charge of knowingly assisting a criminal to launder the
proceeds of his/her crime.
In the case of drug trafficking or terrorist financing, if you form a suspicion of money
laundering in the course of your employment or business activity, you must report it, even if
you are not handling the transaction or funds in question, otherwise you will be alleged for the
ofence of collusion.
Suspicious transactions should be reported if there is a reasonable suspicion that the
transaction
in question has not been able to justify its economic sense and/or appeared to be derived
from
or derived from an illegal source. However, it is important to understand that any information
regarding reporting or investigation of transaction forwarded to the customer is a criminal
ofence and the person responsible will have to bear serious legal consequences.
The procedures bank has developed to combat Money Laundering include:
Awareness raising and training of staf.
The verification of new client identification and know your customer (KYC) and his business.
Retention of records as per regulatory requirement.
Recognition and reporting suspicions of money laundering.
Physical verification of customers business on sample basis. Moreover,, where proof of
business is not applicable e.g. Sole Proprietorship, partnerships, etc; physical verification
would be mandatory in all such cases.

The bank is not committing an ofence if it does not know or suspect that funds relate to drugs,
terrorism or other serious crime. However, if upon investigation it is proved that transaction(s)
were / are conducted in connivance with a staf or were in knowledge of the staf, the respective
person(s)/staf will be held responsible.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

The bank is committing an ofence if it knows or suspects that someone is involved in any
serious
crime and the staf:
Assists them to obtain control or retain their proceeds, or
Gives them any help in investing or transferring those proceeds, or
Advises them that the Bank is suspicious of their activities.

In practice of course, the bank staf is not likely to know and may not realize or suspect that
there
was anything suspicious about a transaction, until it is all over and the customer has gone away.
If
that happens, the staf's duty is clear. Staf must report their suspicion as and when
identified/raised; they will not be penalized that they were not suspicious earlier.
If staf does not report their suspicion and the funds are related to drugs or terrorism, the staf
will
have committed an ofence of failure to report. If staf does not report their suspicion concerning
any criminal money, whether relating to drugs, terrorism, or any other serious crime including
transactions apparently placed and layered to evade tax, they may also need to defend an
action
against the bank for deliberately assisting the criminal.
If transaction is found to be suspicious, the branch management i.e. Operations Manager/branch
Manager (OM/BM) etc. must report it to AML Unit- Compliance Division.. The AML Unit will
immediately scrutinize and if deemed fit, report to Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) after making
consultation with Business Head (if necessary). The Compliance Division may also approach
senior management for their expertise & guidance.

6. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Know Your Customer (KYC) General Policies

In accordance with SBP regulations for the prevention of Anti-Money Laundering and KYC, the
following guidelines will be adopted:

purpose, branches are strictly advised to follow the SOP for account opening and any other
instructions given by the Management. Every possible efort should be made to ensure
genuineness of the customer including verification of identity documents/customers
antecedents through independent sources i.e. Verisys/biometric and personal visits to
validate

customers source of income by Bank officials where desirable


Transactions will only be undertaken with customers whose identity and business are either
known or can be verified
Transactions will only be processed that make sense in relation to the business of the
customer.

on the basis of special resolution/authority from the concerned administrative department or
highest executive/management committee of that entity duly endorsed by their respective
unit
of finance.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

However, while opening an account, any rules/regulations or procedures as laid down in the
governing laws of such entity relating to opening and maintaining an account shall be taken
in
to account.
The branches should perform Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) while establishing relationship
with NGOs/NPOs/Trust/Charities/ Societies/ Foundation etc. The branch will also conduct
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) of its authorized signatories, members of its governing
bodies,
trustees, directors, beneficial owner, etc.
It shall not be allowed to use personal accounts for business purposes except
proprietorships,
small businesses and professions where constituent documents are not available and the
branches are satisfied with KYC profile of the account holder, purpose of relationship and
expected turnover of the account keeping in view financial status & nature of business of
that
customer.
In case branches are not able to satisfactorily complete required CDD measures, account
shall
not be opened or any service provided and consideration shall be given if the circumstances
are
suspicious so as to warrant the filing of an STR. If CDD of an existing customer is found
unsatisfactory, the relationship should be treated as high risk and reporting of suspicious
transaction be considered as per law and circumstances of the case.
9. Risk Categorization

The customer risk profiling should be done after considering their source of income,
geographical
place of business, nature of counter parties with whom they are involved in business, age of
business, etc. The risk categorization should be based on the following broader scale:
Prohibited Customers: Countries subject to economic sanctions or designated as state
sponsors of terrorism, such as Sudan, South Sudan, North Korea, Cuba, Myanmar, Syria, Iran
are prime candidates for prohibited transactions as per latest FATF directives. Further any
customer having any link or relationship with Israel (direct or indirect) is also prohibited.

Prohibited customers also include shell banks, unacceptable customer (refer section 25 of
this
policy). Further, the companies with of-shore presence should also be treated as a
prohibited
category. Moreover, while assessing the customers risk profile, due weightage should be
given to the geographical circumstances as well. For example, during the course of due
diligence if it is transpired that the counter customers i.e. suppliers/buyers belong to any
prohibited area, such relationship should be avoided. Moreover, the existing customer base
should also be reviewed at the time of KYC/CDD in the same respect.
Regulations/guidelines in this regard issued from time to time will also be followed
accordingly.

High-Risk: The risks here are significant, but are not necessarily prohibited. To mitigate the
heightened risk presented, the bank should apply more stringent controls to reduce the risk,
such as conducting enhanced due diligence and more rigorous transaction monitoring.
Countries that are noted for corruption or drug trafficking are generally deemed high risk.
High
risk customers may include Politically Exposed Person (PEPs); high-risk products and
services
may include correspondent banking and private banking. (Refer section 11 and 24 of this
policy)
Medium-Risk: This category has more risk of money laundering than low- or
standard-
risk category and merit additional scrutiny, but do not rise to the level of high-
risk.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

Low- or Standard-Risk: This represents the baseline risk of money laundering; normal
business rules apply. FATF member countries and domestic retail customers are frequently,
but not always, considered to be standard- or low-risk.

The rationale of reaching to a certain risk level, apart from the Customer Risk Profiling (CRP)
form may also be documented in the KYC/CDD form or CRP form so as to present the logical
reasoning.

10. Timing of Verification

Verification of the identity of the customers and beneficial owners shall be completed before
business relations are established including verification of CNIC/NICOP/POC from NADRA
wherever required for customers under these regulations.

Branches may accept initial deposit at the time of submission of necessary documents by their
prospective customers (individual natural persons only) subject to the following and as
documented in the Account opening and Maintenance SOP;
(a) Initial deposit receipt will be issued with Disclaimer that account shall be opened after
completing necessary due diligence including NADRA verification through Verisys or bio-metric
technology.
(b) A temporary account number shall be generated which will be validated after completion of
due diligence process.
(c) The Initial deposit will be credited to customers designated account only.
(d) No transaction in the account, issuance of cheque book/ATM Card or any other instrument is
allowed until completion of verification of identity of the customer. However, in case, the
biometric thumb impression of customer (verified from NADRA) is taken by the bank, the
account
may be activated instantly subject to satisfactory due diligence.

The branches will maintain a list of all such customers/accounts where the business relationship
needed to be closed on account of negative verification.

Branches shall guide the customers to visit relevant branch to get refund of initial deposit in
case of
negative NADRA verification. In this reference, the guidelines documented in the Account
Opening & Management SOP must be adhered to.
At the time of reviewing the KYC form, the supplementary documents with the AOF should also
be reviewed and if found expired, valid documents should be obtained and verified accordingly.
The same should be attached in customers file and records to be updated for audit purposes.

11. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

EDD would be applied to all the high risk customers according to the risk profiling guidelines
given in Annexure-D. High risk elements identified by SBP and recommended actions for EDD
are
given in Annexure-J and Annexure-K.
To elaborate, EDD will be performed as per assigned total risk ratings of 141 points and more or

nothing to
do with the business.
Examples of such EDD (as given in AML/CFT Guidelines) measures may also include:

Obtaining additional information on the customer (occupation, volume of assets, address,


information available through public databases, internet, etc);
Reducing interval for updating and reviewing customer risk profile;
Reducing interval for updating the identification data of customer and beneficial owner;
Obtaining additional information on the intended nature of the business relationship;

corporate). It is necessary to establish the relationships between account holder and the
mandate
holder and also the reason for the mandate and the same should be documented in the KYC
form.
The identity of the mandate holder should be verified in the same manner as is used for the
account
holder. The branch must also complete a separate KYC/CDD form for the mandate holder as
well.
The Third Party Mandate Form should be signed and placed on the Customer File. Any change of
address of the account holder(s) must be notified directly by the account holder(s). Where a
Power
of Attorney exists, the original must be seen and copied by the branch for the file. A Third Party
Mandate must also be completed with full supporting documentation as mentioned above.
COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

11.2 Use of Personal Accounts for Business Purposes

SBP has strictly prohibited use of personal accounts for business transactions. For small
businesses, proprietorships and professions where constituent legal documents are not
available to

Personal visit of the business place by the branch staf would be necessary in these cases. For
this
purpose, the importance of knowing the customer and intended use of the account becomes
even
more important. To this end the branch must satisfy itself that the transactions relate to the
legitimate business of the customer or there is a justifiable explanation for out of pattern
transactions. Branch also must document the explanation preferably through getting some
documentary evidence from the customer for the transaction otherwise appropriate notation

exceeds Rs. 5Million or above, a new separate business account shall be opened for business
related transactions. Where the customer is maintaining registered business but using his/her
personal account for business transaction, branch should advise the customer for avoiding
business
transaction in the account. Incase if it still continues, branch should raise STR to the Compliance
Division on complianceamlunit@summitbank.com.pk with the subject as STR-Customer Name /
Account Number.

Further, personal accounts are strictly prohibited from being used for collection of charities and
donations.

11.3 Housewife Accounts:

COMPLIANCE & KYC/AML POLICY

12. Simplified Due Diligence (SDD)

As per SBP instructions, there may be circumstances where the risk of money laundering or
financing of terrorism may be low, for example where information on the identity of the
customer
and the beneficial ownership is publicly available. In such circumstances, SDD measures may be
applied provided there has been an adequate analysis of the risk by the bank. Examples of such
low
risk scenarios/factors are given in Annexure-L.
In respect of general low risk elements, Bank may perform such SDD measures as it considers
adequate to efectively establish the identity of the customer, a natural person appointed to act
on
behalf of the customer and any beneficial owner. The SDD measures should be in accordance
with
predefined criteria within AML/CFT policy of a bank and should commensurate with the low risk
factors e.g. the SDD measures could relate only to customer acceptance measures or to aspects
of
Examples of such SDD measures may include:
on-going monitoring.
Decreasing the frequency of customer identification updates;
Reducing the degree of on-going monitoring and scrutinizing transactions based on a
reasonable monetary threshold; and

Not collecting specific information (no exemption shall be presumed in respect of minimum
documents prescribed in Annexure-I of AML/CFT Regulations) or carrying out specific
measures to understand the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship,
but intended purpose and nature of account may be ascertained from the relationship
established or from the type of transactions.

However, at branch discretion if it is ascertained that an account is risker then the factors
mentioned above, in this case SDD shall not be applicable and instead CDD/EDD would be
conducted based on respective risk category.

13. CDD Measures for Occasional Customers/Walk-in Customers and Online Transactions

13.1 Transactions with Non-account holders

SMBL only does business with the customers known very well to the bank/branch. Therefore,
significant transactions with non-account holders should be discouraged. However, payment of
utility bills and statutory obligations like encashment of DSCs/SSC and sale /purchase of national
prize bonds etc. will be allowed for non-account holders. For other services such as purchase of
remittance instruments e.g. POs, DDs and MTs etc; risk based AML measures would be taken.
Transactions up to Rs. 25,000 may be allowed for all non-account holders after production of
CNIC. The CNIC copy shall be obtained and kept in records for all such transactions regardless of
any threshold. For transactions exceeding Rs. 25,000 but less than Rs. 100,000, the transaction
