The main reason for the client identification procedure is to comply with the anti money laundering regulations and terrorism financing. The personal data we receive is handled in accordance with the provisions of the privacy agreement. We perform this entire process, not because we suspect you of committing illegal acts but to help you avoid becoming a victim if fraud. At Citizen we appreciate your cooperation and understanding for helping us to perforn these steps to prevent money laundering and terrorism financing.
