Switzerland is one of the most important financial centres in
the world. It is also one of the most secure. In order to maintain
this reputation anti-money laundering legislation has been introduced
in the context of which certain information on clients must be
collected by companies such as the Kestrel Group, which itself
enjoys authorized status granted directly by the Federal Government.
By providing this information you make it harder for criminals
and terrorists to use false names - including yours - in committing
their crimes. Making sure that people are who they say they are
is essential in the fight against crime and terrorism.
This could happen whether you are applying to be a new customer
or have been a customer for some time. It may happen more than

services providers.
It does not mean in any way that suspicion is falling on you.
Information is needed either to clearly identify or reconfirm
who you are or as documentary evidence in support of your financial
transactions, which we are required to justify for the Authorities.
All information is covered by the stringent provisions of the
country's legislation on secrecy.
A trust or company can only be put in place once due diligence
procedures have been successfully completed. It is important therefore
to note that the appropriate questionnaires are completed in every
respect and submitted with additional documents required before
we can proceed.
