Anti-Money Laundering Customer Notice

The USA Patriot Act

The USA Patriot Act signed by President Bush in October, 2001 imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on broker dealer firms and other financial institutions. By April 24, 2002, all broker dealers were required to have new comprehensive anti-money laundering programs in place.

 

What Is Money Laundering?

Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from serious crimes such as drug trafficking, originated from a legitimate source. Not only does it occur in drug related incidents but in connection with a wide variety of crimes including fraud, illegal arms sales, racketeering, robbery and terrorism.

 

How Big Is the Problem and Why Is It Important?

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism and/or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate put the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion per year.

 

What Are We Required To Do To Combat Money Laundering?

Under new rules required by the USA Patriot Act, our Anti-Money Laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, conduct employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures designed to detect and report suspicious transactions and ensure compliance with the new laws.  As part of these requirements, we will be asking you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the documents or information we need, we will not be able to effect any securities transactions for you.

We thank you for your patience and hope you will support our efforts to deny terrorist groups access to America’s financial system.

CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM NOTICE

Important Information You Need to Know About Transacting Business through JCP Securities

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal  law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account and is directly involved in a securities transaction. This Notice answers some questions about JCP’s Customer Identification Program.

What types of information will I need to provide?

When you enter into an engagement with us, JCP is required to collect certain information to identify you, such as the following:
  • Your name
  • Date of birth
  • Address
  • Identification number:
    • U.S. Citizen: taxpayer identification number (social security number or employer identification number)
    • Non-U.S Citizen: taxpayer identification number, passport number, and country of issuance, alien identification card number, or government-issued identification showing nationality, residence, and a photograph of you.

You may also need to show your driver’s license or other identifying documents.A corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity may need to provide other information, such as its principal place of business, local office, employer identification number, certified articles of incorporation, government-issued business license, a partnership agreement, or a trust agreement.

U.S. Department of the Treasury, Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA and New York Stock Exchange rules already require you to provide most of this information. These rules also may require you to provide additional information, such as your net worth, annual income, occupation, employment information, investment experience and objectives, and risk tolerance.

What happens if I don’t provide the information requested or my identity can’t be verified?

JCP Securities may not be able to assist you, or carry out transactions for you. If JCP has already opened a transaction for you, then we may have to terminate it.

We thank you for your patience and understanding, and hope that you will support the financial industry’s efforts to deny terrorists and money launderers access to America’s financial system.
