MONEY LAUNDERING PREVENTION AND
COMPLIANCE TRENDS IN BANKING
詹德恩 博士

A. What Is Money Laundering?

Money laundering can be defined as a process in which illegally obtained money, such as
from drug trafficking, terrorist activity or other serious crimes, is given an appearance of
having originated from a legitimate source. The term "money laundering" is derived from
activities carried out by organized crime, which used laundry cleaning businesses to disguise,
"launder," large amounts of cash actually earned through extortion, prostitution, gambling,
and bootlegging (Mulig & Smith, 2008).
Money laundering as mentioned in the Money Laundering Prevention Law refers to the
following acts:
▪ Transfer or alter specific proceeds of crime with the intent to disguise or conceal the source
of specific proceeds of crime, or to enable others to evade criminal prosecution.
▪ Those who conceal or conceal the nature, source, whereabouts, location, ownership,
disposal rights or other rights and interests of specific criminal proceeds.

▪ Accepting, possessing, or using other people's specific proceeds of crime.


The money laundering process takes basically three steps. These steps can be achieved in
one combined transaction or in three separate transactions (Steel, 2004):
1. Placement: In this step, large amounts of illegally obtained cash are placed into the
financial system, used to buy high-dollar goods, or smuggled out of the country. The idea
is to transform the cash as quickly as possible into other types of assets and thus avoid
detection.
2. Layering: This step is performed to hide the source of the illicit funds. Layering is
accomplished by creating complex levels of financial transactions to obscure audit trails
and cloak the true ownership of the funds. Some of the methods used are Electronic
Funds Transfer (EFT), conversion into monetary instruments, investments in legitimate
businesses, and purchase of real estate. In many cases, EFTs are used to shuttle funds
around between offshore banks and shell companies. Since so many EFTs are processed
each day, determining what is legitimate and what is not, can be difficult indeed.
3. Integration: The final step in money laundering integrates the newly future use of the
money will further hide its original source

B. Major Events In Taiwan’s Money Laundering Prevention In Recent Years


▪ In 2007, the second round of evaluation was listed as "General Tracking List"
The results of the second round of evaluation are "reduced tracking", "general tracking",
"intensified tracking" and "non-cooperative countries" from good to bad)

▪ In 2011, due to poor tracking results, it fell into the "General Accelerated Tracking List".
After completing the revision of relevant regulations, it returned to general tracking in
2014.
▪ On August 19, 2016, Mega Bank New York Branch was fined US$180 million
(approximately NT$5.7 billion) by the New York State Department of Financial Services
(NYDFS) for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering Act, creating a
domestic financial Highest ever fine overseas.
▪ In November 2018, APG completed the third round of on-site mutual evaluation of my
country. In June 2019, a preliminary report was released, and my country reached the
"general tracking" level.

C. Money Laundering Prevention Mechanisms in Banking


▪ The banking industry and other financial institutions designated by the FSC shall allocate
adequate personnel and resources for preventing money laundering and combating
terrorism according to their scale and risks. Give sufficient powers to coordinate and
supervise the prevention of money laundering and combating terrorism, and ensure that
such personnel and supervisors have no part-time jobs that have conflicts of interest with
their responsibilities for preventing money laundering and combating terrorism.
▪ Domestic banks should also set up an independent special unit for preventing money
laundering and combating terrorism under the general manager, the head office law
compliance unit, or the risk control unit.
 "Measures for the Implementation of Internal Control and Audit System for Banking
Industry and Other Financial Institutions Designated by the Financial Supervisory
Commission》

Guidelines to Banks on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risks Assessment and
Relevant Prevention Program:
1. These Guidelines are established in accordance with “Directions Governing Internal
Control System of Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Terrorism Financing of Banking
Sector and Electronic Payment Institutions as well as Electronic Stored Value Card Issuers”
for the purpose of anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing (AML/CFT)
to cover how banks identify and assess money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF)
risk in businesses and establish AML/CFT programs, etc., as a basis for implementation.
2. A bank’s internal control system and its amendment should be approved by the Board of
Directors. In addition, the internal control system should include relevant written policies
and procedures for identifying, assessing and managing ML/TF risks, AML/CFT programs
based on risk assessment results, and the periodic review of such policies, procedures and
programs.
The purpose of a risk-based approach is to help a bank develop prevention and
mitigation measures that are commensurate with the ML/TF risks identified, determine the
allocation of resources on AML/CFT, establish internal control system, and establish and
implement policies, procedures and measures that are necessary in AML/CFT programs.
Banking businesses, such as consumer banking, corporate banking, investment
services (or wealth management), and correspondent banking, etc., are diversified.

Seminar in Management Practise | Final Exam| Badingatus Solikhah 2


Therefore the ML/TF risks associated with each business are different. A bank should take
such business diversity into account when assessing and mitigating ML/TF risks.
The examples provided in the Guidelines are not mandatory requirements. A bank’s
risk assessment mechanism should be commensurate with its business nature and scale.
For a bank that is relatively small or has relatively simple businesses, a simple risk
assessment is sufficient. For a bank that provides relatively complex products and services,
has multiple branches (or subsidiaries) providing diversified products, or has diversified
customer groups, however, is required to perform a relatively sophisticated risk
assessment.
3. A banks should take appropriate measures to identify and assess its ML/TF risks, and
determine specific risk categories based on the risk identified, in order to further control,
mitigate or prevent such risks.
Such specific risk category should cover at least geographic areas, customers, and
products, services, transactions or delivery channels, etc. A bank should further analyze
each risk category to determine detailed risk factors.
a. Geographic risk:
1) A bank should identify geographic areas that are exposed to higher ML/TF
risks.
2) When building up a list of high-risk areas, a bank may determine appropriate
risk factors based on the practices of branches (or subsidiaries) and its needs
b. Customer risk:
1) A bank should take an overall account of a customer’s background,
occupation, characteristics of social and economic activities, geographic areas,
and an entity customer’s organization type and structure, etc., to identify the
customer’s ML/TF risks.
2) When identifying a customer’s risk and determine the customer’s level of risk,
a bank may perform risk assessment based on following risk factors:
a) Geographic risk of the customer: Determine the level of risk of the
customer’s nationality and country of residence based on a list of areas
that are exposed to ML/TF risks defined by the bank.
b) Occupation and industry risk of the customer: Determine the level of risk
of the customer’s occupation and industry based on a list of occupations
and industries that are exposed to money laundering risks defined by the
bank. High-risk industries include, for example, cash-intensive businesses,
or companies or trusts that tend to be used as personal asset-holding
vehicles, etc.
c) Individual customer’s employer.
d) The channel used by the customer to open account and establish business
relation.
e) The transaction amount with which the customer first establishes
business relation.
f) Products or services that the customer applies.
g) Whether the customer has other high ML/TF risk characteristics. For
example, the customer fails to provide a reasonable explanation
regarding the significant geographic distance between the customer and

Seminar in Management Practise | Final Exam| Badingatus Solikhah 3


the branch; the customer has nominee shareholders or shares in bearer
form; the extent of complexity in an entity customer’s ownership
structure, such as whether the ownership structure is apparently unusual
or excessively complex given the nature of the customer’s business.
c. Product, service, transaction or delivery channel risk:
1) A bank should identify products, services, transactions or delivery channels
that have higher ML/TF risk based on the nature of individual product, service,
transaction or delivery channel.
2) A bank should, before launching a new product, service or business (including
new payment method, applying new technology on existing or new product
or service), perform ML/TF risk assessment and establish relevant risk
management measures to mitigate the risks identified.
3) Examples of individual product, service, transaction or delivery channel risk
factors are as follows:
a) The extent of associating with cash.
b) The channel to establish business relation or process transaction,
including whether it allows non-face-to-face transactions, and whether it
is a new payment method such as electronic banking.
c) Whether it allows high amount of money or value transfer. (4)
Anonymous transactions.
d) Payment received from unknown or un-associated third parties.
4. A bank should establish multiple levels of customer risk and rules to determine the level
of customer risk.
Customer risk should have at least two levels, “high-risk” and “general risk”, as
bases to determine the extent of customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring. For
a bank that adopts only two risk levels, the bank should not take simplified measures
to a customer rated as “general risk” because “general risk” is still higher than “low
risk” provided in Paragraph V and VII of the Guidelines.
A bank should not disclose a customer’s level of risk to the customer or any person
that is unrelated to AML/CFT obligations.
5. A bank should directly treat foreign political exposed persons, terrorists or terrorist groups
that are sanctioned, identified or investigated by foreign governments or international
AML organizations, and designated individuals or entities sanctioned under Counter-
Terrorism Financing Act as high-risk customers. In addition, a bank may determine the
types of customers that should be directly treated as high-risk customers based on its
business type and relevant risk factors.
A bank may, based on the results of an overall written risk analysis, define the types
of customers that can be treated as low-risk customers. The results of the written risk
analysis should be sufficient to explain that such types of customers are commensurate
with lower risk factors.
6. With respect to a new customer to establish business relation with a bank, a bank should
determine the customer’s level of risk when establishing business relation
With respect to an existing customer with a specific level of risk, a bank should re-
assess customer risk in accordance with its risk assessment policies and procedures.
Although a bank performs customer risk assessment when establishing business relation

Seminar in Management Practise | Final Exam| Badingatus Solikhah 4


with a customer, for certain customers, the overall risk profile become clear after the
customers use accounts to transact. Therefore, a bank should conduct due diligence to
existing customers on the basis of materiality and risk, and, at appropriate times, review
the existing business relationships and adjust the level of risk after taking into account the
time and information sufficiency of last due diligence. Such appropriate times should at
least include:
a. When the customer opens a new account or establishes a new business relation.
b. Time to conduct periodic review determined on the basis of the customer’s
materiality and risk.
c. When a bank knows a material change occurs in the customer’s identification and
background information.
d. When the bank reports a suspicious ML/TF transaction or other events that may
result in substantial change in customer risk profile occur.
A bank should review periodically the sufficiency of the information for identifying
customers and beneficial owners, and ensure the update of such information.
Especially, high-risk customers should be reviewed at least annually by the bank.
7. A bank should establish control measures according to the risks identified to mitigate or
prevent such money laundering risk. A bank should determine appropriate control
measures according to a customer’s level of risk
With respect to such control measures, a bank should take different measures to a
high-risk customer and a customer with a specific high-risk factor to effectively manage
and mitigate identified risks. Following are examples:
a. Conduct enhanced due diligence, such as:
1) Obtaining relevant information on the purpose of an account or relationship:
the expected use of the account (for example, the amount, purpose and
frequency of expected transactions)
2) Obtaining information on an individual customer’s source of wealth, source
and destination of funds, and types and quantities of assets, etc. If the source
of funds is deposit, a bank should further understand the source of such
deposit.
3) Obtaining an entity customer’s further business information: understand the
customer’s latest financial situation, commercial activities and business
relationship information to establish the source of assets, source of funds and
destination of funds.
4) Obtaining information on the reason for intended or performed transactions.
5) Conducting site visit or phone interview, according to customer type, to
validate a customer’s operation situation
b. Obtain the approval of senior management, defined by the bank considering
internal risks, before first establishing a business relation or establishing a new
business relation.
c. Increase the frequency of customer due diligence.
d. Conduct enhanced ongoing monitoring of the business relationship
Except in the situation described in Subparagraph 1 of Paragraph 3 of Article 6 of
the Template, a bank may take simplified measures in a lower risk situation in
accordance with its risk prevention policies and procedures. Such simplified measures

Seminar in Management Practise | Final Exam| Badingatus Solikhah 5


should be commensurate with the lower-risk factors. Examples of simplified measures
that may be applied include:
1) Reducing the frequency of updates of customer identification information.
2) Reducing the degree of ongoing monitoring and scrutinizing transactions based on
a reasonable monetary threshold.
3) Exempting from collecting specific information or conducting specific measures as
to the purpose and nature of business relations if a bank may infer this from the
type of transactions or business relations.
8. A bank should establish a mechanism of periodic enterprise-wide ML/TF risk assessment
and generate a risk assessment report to enable senior management to timely and
effectively understand the bank’s overall ML/TF risks, determine necessary mechanisms
to be established, and develop appropriate mitigation measures
A bank should establish a mechanism of periodic enterprise-wide ML/TF risks
assessment based on following risk factors:
a. The nature, scale, diversity and complexity of businesses.
b. Target markets.
c. Volumes and sizes of bank transactions: considering the usual transaction
activities of the bank and characteristics of its customers.
d. Management data and reports related to high risk: such as the number and
proportion of high-risk customers; the amount, volume or proportion of high-risk
products, services or transactions; the amount or proportion of customer’s
nationality, place of registration or operation, or transactions that involve high-
risk areas.
e. Businesses and products, including the channels and manners that a bank uses to
provides customers businesses and products, and the way to conduct customer
due diligence, such as the extent of using information system and whether relying
on third parties to perform due diligence.
f. The examination results of internal auditors and supervisory authorities
When a bank performs the enterprise-wide ML/TF risk assessment described in
last paragraph, in addition to taking into account such risk factors, it is suggested to
supplement the assessment with other information obtained from internal or external
sources, such as:
a. Management reports provided by the bank’s management (such as head of
business unit, relationship managers, etc.)
b. Relevant AML/CFT reports published by international anti-money laundering
organizations and other countries.
c. Information of ML/TF risk released by the Competent Authorities.
A bank’s enterprise-wide ML/TF risk assessment results should be used as a basis
to develop AML/CFT programs. A bank should allocate appropriate headcounts and
resources based on such results and take effective countermeasures to prevent or
mitigate risks.
If a material change occurs to a bank, such as a material incident, material
development in management and operation, or relevant new threats, a bank should
re-perform the assessment.

Seminar in Management Practise | Final Exam| Badingatus Solikhah 6


A bank should file the risk assessment report to Financial Supervisory Commission
when it is completed or updated.
9. A bank should implement policies established in accordance with the Guidelines after
obtaining the approval of the Board of Directors, and file such policies with the bank’s
“Directions Governing Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism”
to Financial Supervisory Commission. Such policies should be subject to annual review.
The rules provided in this paragraph also apply to the amendment of such policies.
