117 Escrow is a Money Service Business, regulated under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007. In accordance with our regulatory obligations we follow a strict Know Your Client protocol in respect of all customers paying funds into our segregated client account or receiving funds therefrom.
This includes, for individuals, obtaining proof of identity and proof of address and ensuring that the remitter or recipient of funds is not a so-called Politically Exposed Person.
For businesses we undertake the same protocol for the director(s) and the major shareholders of the company. Should you wish to find out more about our anti-money laundering procedure please contact via our contact form.
