Sebon revises KYC provisions

  1 min 8 sec to read

January 23: Securities Board of Nepal (Sebon) has revised the provisions of ‘know your customer’ (KYC) which the brokers keep during transactions. The board said that the arrangement has been revised to minimise the risk in transaction and to make the transactions easy for brokers.

After the revision, the brokers are now required to include the professional details of all the members of family of their clients, map of the area where the client  is staying and whether the client has been engaged in investment banking or not.  Also, the money to be invested should be earned in compliance with the Money Laundering Prevention Act.

In case of company and organisation, the details related to registration and also the details of three generations of the contact person should be included. In the prior arrangement, only few details of the clients during the transaction were needed.  

The KYC has been revised to make the securities transaction more systematic and to implement the anti-money laundering laws in a more effective way.  The board has revised this provision to ensure the investors’ rights, to encourage transparency in market and to minimize risk in the securities transaction. The board has also taken action against few brokers for not including the details of their clients.
