Notice to Clients
To assist in preventing the financing of money laundering or terrorist activities, the Canadian government has passed the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, which requires financial institutions, securities dealers, money service businesses and others to obtain, verify and record information that identifies persons or entities who engage in certain transactions with or through our company.
It means that for individuals, including individuals who purport to represent a corporate or not-for-profit client, Express Gold Refining Ltd. ("EGR") will verify, among other things, your name, residential or street address, date of birth and occupation. We may also ask to see a driver's license or other government-issued identifying documents from you and seek information about you from a credit-reporting agency.
For corporate or not-for-profit entities, this means that we will verify, among other things, beneficial ownership information and the purpose for which your account with us exists. EGR will also verify the identity of individuals authorized to provide instructions for the accounts of certain entities. We shall also require that certain information be kept up to date, including beneficial ownership information. We will also ask to see the constating documents for each corporate or not-for-profit entity.
By signing below, you authorize EGR to obtain personal information about you.
