Under the rules of the BVI Financial Services Commission, this policy provides information on the Customer Acceptance Policy (CAP) for FTD Limited (together referred as ‘‘FTD”, “the Company”,‘‘we”, ‘‘our” or ‘‘us”) (the ‘‘Customer Acceptance Policy”).
FTD Limited provides you with this Customer Acceptance Policy to outline the criteria for accepting new customers and stipulates the customer categorisation criteria which shall be adhered to by the Company and especially by the employees who are involved in the customer account opening process.
FTD Limited puts this Customer Acceptance Policy and procedures into practice, including a description of the types of customer that are likely to pose a higher than average risk to an organization. Before accepting a potential customer, KYC and due diligence procedures are followed, by examining factors such as customers background, country of origin, public or high profile position, linked accounts, business activities or other risk indicators. Quite extensive due diligence is essential to enter into business relationships with higher risk customers, and those are taken into consideration exclusively at senior management level.
