Identification and Anti-Money Laundering Regulation.

9.1          By acquiring a e-voucher Code , you give your consent, that we have the right to perform such Know Your Customer [KYC] checks deemed necessary to comply with Anti Money Laundering regulations [AMLR], or if we, in our sole opinion, suspect fraudulent use and/or misuse of the e-voucher payment system.

9.2          We, under instruction from Zipp require, under KYC/AMLR, to seek certain information from all Holders of e-vouchers. For a company, the usual documentation is the company’s most recent audited accounts and a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation, details of Directors and Shareholders and any other information needed by Zipp from time to time to determine the nature of the business. For an individual or a partnership, the usual documentation required is a copy of the relevant pages of the individual’s passport or each partner’s passport to include photograph, passport number and personal information and a copy of a recent utility bill or a bank statement with your current address. We are legally compelled to make these requests as a result of AMLR, and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA”). Furthermore under the POCA we are obliged to provide a report to The National Criminal Agency (NCA) if we become aware of a person having concealed, disguised, converted, or transferred criminal property or having removed criminal property from England and Wales or from Scotland or from Northern Ireland or if we know or suspect that those or other offences under POCA or the AMLR are or have been committed.

Please note therefore that these legal obligations may well override any obligations we may have in certain circumstances.
