Dear Ms. Argarin,

Thank you for your request dated 17 October 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (S. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

The bank is requesting for a Certificate of Registration from the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) as part of its customer due diligence on a client covered person (i.e., the jewelry dealer) transacting with another covered person (i.e., the bank) under Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended (AMLA).

The step-by-step registration procedure is laid down under Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 AMLC Registration and Reporting Guidelines (ARRG) and page 9 of the Citizen’s Charter posted on the AMLC website, which can be accessed through these links: http://www.amlc.gov.ph/images/PDFs/2021-AMLC%20REGISTRATION%20AND%2 0REPORTING%20GUIDELINES.pdf and http://www.amlc.gov.ph/images/PDFs/AMLC%20Updated%20Handbook%20as%20of%20March%202022%20.pdf. Upon request, the AMLC will issue the COR to successfully registered covered persons.

For any registration-related inquiry, you may contact the Registration Staff, Data Collection and Management Unit, Compliance and Supervision Group of the AMLC, through Telephone Nos. (632)87087067, (632)53023848 and (632)53103244, or Mobile Nos. (63)9157780720 and (63)9687727045.

We hope we have been of assistance.
