The ECM’s Lists of PEP contain records of those named subject persons largely conforming to common definition of PEP. For the purpose of CDD compliance, Subscribers are advised to require their clients to supply a list of the subject clients’ respective spouses, partners, children, parents and close associates for PEP checks. Therefore, it is highly advisable for Subscribers to consult their own legal advisers whether such subject person is regarded as a PEP for the purpose of the Subscribers’ need in compliance with their respective legal and/or regulatory obligations. Note: Pursuant to Hong Kong SFC’s Guideline on AML &amp; CTF (2023-06 Edit), licensed institutes are required to perform CDD on both Hong Kong and non-Hong Kong PEP checks. DISCLAIMERMember/Subscriber may search by entering both English and/or Chinese name fields. This search may only generate those records having a positive match withBOTH English and Chinese name fields of our records. The use of this "two" name fields search will deduct two search units from the User's account. The ECM’s Lists of PEP are non-exhaustive and may not be the most updated version due to time lapse in updating public records from country/region/jurisdiction to country/region/ jurisdiction and time to time. Subscribers are advised to conduct a identity verification of the Subject Person should there be any positive result from a PEP check due to possible common name of the concerned persons.

Our global sanctions screening includes most international sanctions lists to identify whether your customer or potential customers is not on the list. The checks are essential to remain compliant with Guidelines on Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (“CTF”) for Licensed Corporations and Authorized Institutions that are required respectively to do take this risk-based approach. Hong Kong does not implement sanctions above and beyond those imposed by the UNSC. However, it has implemented local legislation that is supplemental to the relevant sanctions measures. For example, the AMLO imposes on financial institutions authorized by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) additional requirements relating to customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and record-keeping and provides the HKMA with powers to supervise compliance with those requirements. Institutions are required to perform CDD to ascertain at least whether their customers have involved in any offences under the AMLO, Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) Ordinance (DTROP), the Organised and Serious Crimes Ordinance (OSCO), etc. Contravention of the relevant provisions under the UNATMO shall be punishable on summary conviction by a fine of HKD100,000 and imprisonment for two years, or on conviction on indictment by an unlimited fine and imprisonment for 14 years. Section 12(1) of the UNATMO requires a person to report his knowledge or suspicion of terrorist property to an authorized officer (e.g. the JFIU). Failure to make a disclosure under this section constitutes an offence under section 14(5). The maximum penalty upon conviction of this offence is a fine of HK50,000 and imprisonment for three months. Contravention of sanctions under the UNSO shall be punishable on conviction on indictment by an unlimited fine and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 years. All persons are required to report any asset frozen or actions taken in compliance with the targeted financial sanctions requirements by filing a Suspicious Transaction Report to the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit (JFIU), which is jointly run by staff members of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Customs &amp; Excise Department. The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau (CEDB) has overall responsibility in implementing the United Nations Sanctions in Hong Kong. Individuals or entities affected by targeted financial sanctions because of mistaken identification or confusion with individuals or entities on the relevant sanctions lists may submit written requests for clarification to the Commerce, Industry and Tourism Branch of CEDB, after requesting an explanation from the institution that froze the assets. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) are responsible for supervising compliance by authorized and licensed institutions with financial sanctions in Hong Kong.
