Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism

In recent years, the international community, including Japan, has been making concerted efforts to prevent and combat organized crime and terrorist activities amid their increasing threat. As part of this effort, financial institutions, in cooperation with relevant organizations such as ministries and agencies, are working to maintain a sound financial system by cutting off the flow of funds that create criminals and terrorists, namely, strengthening controls to prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

In light of the "Guidelines for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism" published by the Financial Services Agency, PayPay Bank may confirm, in writing or by other means, the items required to be verified under the Act on Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds and other laws and regulations, as well as the purpose and details of the transactions between the Bank and customers based on the nature and circumstances of the transactions. We ask customers for their understanding and cooperation.
