Money Laundering
“Money laundering is the attempt to conceal or disguise the
nature, location, source, ownership, or control of Illegally obtained
money."
The Federal government, using the Bank Secrecy Act and the Money
Laundering Control Act, has written strict laws and regulation to help
prevent money-laundering activities. The law requires us, amongst other
things, to monitor and report any unusual or suspicious transaction of
any size taking place where we have reasons to believe the money is
derived from illegal activity. We have a legal obligation to report such
suspicious transactions.
Also the U.S. economic sanctions and trade programs that are
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, also known as OFAC
prohibit us from doing business with certain governments, as well as
individuals who have been identified by OFAC as terrorists, drug
traffickers or other specially designated persons.
To effectively prevent our system from being used for money
laundering, we have to ask our customers for their understanding and
cooperation to ensure integrity of our services.
We do not want Afro International's services used in illegal money
laundering activities, therefore, we reserve the right at all times to
refuse to process any transfers at any stage, which we believe in our
sole discretion, is connected to money laundering activity or other
unlawful purpose. Our services are solely designed to move legitimate
money from legitimate customers for legitimate purposes.
