| In
the global marketplace, the attempted use
of financial institutions to launder money
is a significant problem that has caused
great concern in the international and domestic
community, which has resulted in the passage
of strict laws and increased penalties for
money laundering worldwide. These laws have
been extended to include other financial
institutions including stand-alone Futures
Commission Merchants (FCM). As Country Hedging,
Inc. (CHI) is an FCM, we have been required
to establish an anti-money laundering compliance
program.
As
part of our compliance program, we are now
required to obtain additional information
to verify the identity of all potential
customers. For individual, partnership,
and joint accounts this will require a copy
of all of the individuals' driver's license(s)
or state identification card(s) that have
ownership in the account.
Please
be sure to include a copy of the account
owner(s) drivers' license(s) with your new
account documents or we will be unable to
open your account. |
