to paragraphs (4) to (11), identification measures before the
establishment of a business relationship or before carrying out a one-off
transaction;
(b) on-going
monitoring during a business relationship;
(c) identification
measures where –
(i) the relevant
person suspects money laundering, or
(ii) the relevant
person has doubts about the veracity or adequacy of documents, data or
information previously obtained under the customer due diligence measures.[52]
(2) Where –
(a) a
relevant person has a business relationship with a customer that started before

(b) the
relevant person carries on a business falling within any class of business
described in Schedule 2 to the Law on or after 19th February 2008 and each
of the conditions in paragraph (2A) applies,
the relevant person must apply customer due diligence measures, as
modified by paragraph (2B) in respect of on-going monitoring, to that
relationship at appropriate times on or after 1st April 2008.[53]
(2A) For the
purposes of paragraph (2)(b) the conditions are that –

business carried on by the relevant person did not fall within that Schedule
before that date;
(b) the
relevant person has a business relationship with a customer within the course
of that business;

(3) For
the purposes of paragraph (2), subject to paragraph (3A),
“appropriate times” means –
(a) for
the application of identification measures –
(i) times that are
appropriate having regard to the degree of risk of money laundering taking into
account the type of customer, business relationship, product or transaction
concerned, and

circumstance described in paragraph (1)(c)(i) applies;
(b) for
the application of on-going monitoring, throughout the business relationship as
described in Article 3(3).[57]

not later than 31st December 2014, or such later date as may be
agreed in writing by the Commission upon application by the relevant person to
the Commission on or before 31st December 2014.[58]
(3B) For the
purposes of paragraph (3A), the requirement of finding out the identity of
a person may be satisfied by a relevant person if the relevant person holds, in
relation to that person, information as to the person’s identity that is
commensurate to the relevant person’s assessment of the risk that the
continuing business relationship with that person will involve money
laundering.[59]
(4) Identification
of a person that is described in Article 3(4)(b) may be completed as soon
as reasonably practicable after the establishment of a business relationship
if –
(a) that
is necessary not to interrupt the normal conduct of business; and
(b) there
is little risk of money laundering occurring as a result of completing such
identification after the establishment of that relationship.[60]
(5) Where
a relevant person carries out a one-off transaction to which
Article 4(1)(b)(ii), Article 4(1)(d)(ii) or Article 4(1)(f)(ii)
applies, that person must apply identification measures as soon as reasonably
practicable.[61]

measures described in Article 3(4)(b) may be completed after the
establishment of a business relationship that relates to a life insurance
policy if –

relevant person is satisfied that there is little risk of money laundering
occurring as a result of completing such identification after the establishment
of that relationship.[62]

the identification measures are not completed, in accordance with
paragraph (6), before the establishment of the business relationship, they
must be completed before any payment is made under the policy or any right
vested under the policy is exercised.[63]
(8) Identification
measures described in Article 3(4)(b) may be completed after the
establishment of a business relationship that relates to a trust or foundation
if –
(a) the
identification measures relate to a person who has a beneficial interest in the
trust or foundation by virtue of property or income having been vested in that
person; and
(b) the
relevant person is satisfied that there is little risk of money laundering occurring
as a result of completing such identification after the establishment of that relationship.[64]
(9) Where
the identification measures are not completed, in accordance with
paragraph (8), before the establishment of the business relationship, they
must be completed before any distribution of trust property or income is made.[65]

relevant person to whom this paragraph applies shall not be required to
comply with the obligations under paragraph (1) or Article 15 in
relation to a holder of any units in any such scheme or fund if –
(a) the
holder of the units acquires the units through a secondary market transaction;
(b) a
person who is –

has in relation to that holder applied the identification measures
specified in Article 3(2) or, if that person is
outside Jersey, has applied similar identification measures that satisfy
Recommendation 5 of the FATF Recommendations.[70]
(12) For the
purposes of paragraph (11) –

or (11) applies.[97]
(1) Where

“obliged person”) –
(a) to
apply the identification measures specified in Article 3(2)(a), (b) and

(a) a
customer of the obliged person;

beneficial owner or controller of that customer;

customer,
(ii) the obliged
person has not relied upon another party to have applied any of those
identification measures,

not, in reliance upon any provision in Article 17 or 18 (or in the

of similar effect to a provision in Article 17 or 18), applied
identification measures that are less than those referred to in
paragraph (1), and
(iv) the obliged person is
required to keep and does keep evidence of the identification, as described in Article 3(4),
relating to each of the obliged person’s customers, and a record of such
evidence;
(c) the
obliged person immediately provides in writing to the relevant person the
information found out by the obliged person as a result of having applied the
identification measures referred to in paragraph (1)(a) or (1)(b), as the
case may be; and
(d) the
relevant person obtains adequate assurance in writing from the obliged person
that the obliged person will –
(i) keep the evidence

identification measures until such time as the obliged person has either
provided the relevant person with that evidence or has been notified by the
relevant person that the relevant person no longer requires that evidence to be
kept, and

relevant person with that evidence without delay if requested to do so by the
relevant person.

(a) the
requirement to conduct the test referred to in paragraph (5)(b) shall not

paragraph (5)(b), or provide it without delay if requested to do so by the
relevant person, the relevant person shall immediately apply identification

is adequate if –
(i) it is reasonably
capable of being regarded as reliable, and
(ii) the person who
relies on it is satisfied that it is reliable; and
(b) assurance
may be given in relation to one or more business relationships and for more
than one transaction.
(9) Nothing
in this Article shall permit a relevant person to rely on the identification
measures of an obliged person if –
