Notice Regarding Anti-Money Laundering
In October 2001, the President of the United States signed into law
the Patriot Act. The Patriot act provides the United States Government with
additional tools to fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities. As a result, financial institutions like King Commodities are
required to adopt and enforce anti-money laundering policies and procedures that
include a customer identification program. As part of King Commodities’
anti-money laundering policies and procedures, King Commodities requires its
customers to provide certain documents that will assist King Commodities and its
clearing brokers in verifying your true identity. Therefore, at a minimum, when
opening a trading account with King Commodities, King Commodities will ask for
your name, address, date of birth and in many cases depending on the clearing
FCM AML requirements, documentation to support your identity such as a current
government issued passport or driver’s license and in some cases, a current
utility bill. If King Commodities is unable to obtain reasonable identification
verification, King Commodities reserves the right to request additional
documentation and possibly deny your account.
