Since 2013, Sisal has formally supervised its anti-money laundering activities and has created a dedicated organisational function. The main responsibilities of the Anti-Money Laundering function are:
- to correctly identify and to verify customer profiles by means of particularly rigorous procedures (in particular for transactions greater than €1,000);
- to establish the Single Computer Archive which records and stores identification data and other information relating to relationships and operations;
- to send aggregated data to the Italian Financial Intelligence Unit and report any suspicious transactions;
- to establish internal control measures and ensure appropriate staff training.
In relation to the development of the anti-money laundering legislation, we also cooperate with another important institutional stakeholder, the Bank of Italy, specifically with the Financial Intelligence Unit (Unità di Informazione Finanziaria), who are responsible for preventing and combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
