Frequently asked questions

• What is money laundering?
  • Any transaction that helps conceal the source of money originating from a criminal act is considered money laundering. Money laundering occurs when proceeds from criminal acts, for example, tax evasion, drug crime, fraud and other financial crimes, are transferred from one person or entity to another with a seemingly good explanation. To the outside world, it seems that the money has been acquired in an honest way.
  • Money laundering can be carried out by placing proceeds in legal goods and services. When the item is later used or sold, the money appears to be legal – or "white".
  • The Norwegian Money Laundering Act (Hvitvaskingsloven) implements international obligations Norway are bound by.

• What does AML mean?

  AML stands for Anti Money Laundering

• Why the new disclosure requirement now?

  In an increasingly digitized world and in a world where criminals are constantly finding new methods of committing crime, we need stricter regulations to prevent them from succeeding in their operations.

  The new act, and the new requirements for control, which have now come to Norway are based on an order from the EU and international recommendations from among others, FATF (The International Financial Action Task Force).

• Why should a bank have my information?

  A bank is required to prevent money laundering as well as terrorist financing. By having a good understanding of you as a customer and your use of our financial services, we can work towards this not happening.

  This is a job we as a bank and you as a customer do together. Unfortunately, this may mean that you as a customer may be asked questions that may be perceived as unusual.
