Original Utility Bill (for both personal and/or corporate accounts)

Bank Due Diligence requirements

To comply with legislations, banks must collect adequate due diligence to verify the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners and controllers of the potential client wanting to establish a relationship with the bank. Below is the documentation required for the various types of entity the potential client may be established as.

Limited Company – please provide certified copies of the following: a) Certificate of Incorporation, b) Memorandum and Articles of Association, c) Register of Directors, and d) Register of Members. For at least two of the entity’s directors, for shareholders with an interest equal to or greater than 10% and for all other authorised account signatories please provide certified copies of the items laid out at i) through iv) below.
Limited Liability Company – please provide certified copies of the following: e) Certificate of Incorporation, f) Operating Agreement, and g) Schedule showing the members and their respective percentage interests. For at the entity’s managing member, for members with an interest equal to or greater than 10% and for all other authorised account signatories please provide certified copies of the items laid out at i) through iv) below.
Limited Partnership – please provide certified copies of the following: h) Certificate of Registration (where available), i) Limited Partnership Agreement, and j) Schedule showing the limited partners and their respective percentage interests. For the general partner, limited partners with an interest equal to or greater than 10% and for all other authorised account signatories please provide certified copies of the items laid out at i) through iv) below.
Trust – please provide a certified copy of the declaration of trust or deed of settlement as appropriate, and for any of the trust’s settlor, beneficiary(s) with a vested interest and for all other authorised account signatories please provide certified copies of the items laid out at i) through iv) below.

Funds If the potential client is a fund, instead of item d), g) or j) and due diligence on investors, i.e. items i) through iv) as specified, an AML comfort letter is required from the fund’s administrator or transfer agent confirming that they are responsible for performing due diligence on the fund’s investors – we have a standard template available for this. Where the potential client has an entity as either a director or shareholder, documentation as outlined above is required for that type of entity. If the potential client is a regulated financial institution we may be exempt from collecting due diligence on it. Source of funds Please ensure that sufficient, relevant information on the source of funds to be deposited with banks is provided with the application form.
Bearer Shares Most banks are unable to provide services to entities that have issued bearer shares; these must either be immobilized or cancelled and reissued to persons. Entities that haven’t, but are capable of issuing bearer shares must undertake not to issue bearer shares, or upon their issue the account(s) will be frozen until the bearer shares are either immobilized or cancelled.
Certification/Notarization of Documents The certifier (notary public, lawyer, accountant, manager/director of a regulated financial institution, for example) is to attest that the documents are a true copy of the original, sign each document, print their name underneath, indicating their position or capacity and include a contact address and phone number.

Overview of the Secrecy Jurisdiction
Summary
30 History as Secrecy Jurisdiction Since 1975 [Notes]
31 Development and Role as a Secrecy Jurisdiction [Notes]
The Global Forum wrote in 2010 about Bermuda’s economy and the role of financial services: “Whilst the Bermudian economy has traditionally been supported by a strong tourism industry, this sector has been faced with a significant downturn in the last few years, with a drop of more than 100 000 visitors per year, to 555 162 in 2008. In contrast, Bermuda’s banking and financial services sector has experienced continuing strong growth, particularly in the area of insurance, reinsurance and captive insurance, which saw a marked influx of business following the attacks on the World Trade Centre in September 2001, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. […] Bermuda is a globally significant insurance centre which includes general insurers, composite insurers, long-term insurance and reinsurance, as well as being the world’s largest second captive insurance jurisdiction” (GF 2010: 10-11).
Lowtax.net complements this view as follows: “Every International Offshore Financial Centre has developed its own specialisations, and in Bermuda’s case it is insurance that stands out; mutual fund management is also strong, assisted by the existence of the Bermuda Stock Exchange. There has also been strong development in the trust management sector, fed particularly by an exodus of assets from Hong Kong when the territory reverted to Chinese rule. International banks were conspicuous by their absence due to the Government’s policy of excluding non-domestic banks; then HSBC was allowed to buy the Bank of Bermuda in 2003.” (Lowtax.net). Suprisingly, Bermuda escaped the European Savings Tax Directive in 2003: “When the European Savings Tax Directive came into effect in 2005, most offshore dependent territories of the UK and other EU member states rolled over and accepted the necessity of implementing a withholding tax on savings interest payments to EU residents. Bermuda, however, appears to have escaped the worst.” (Lowtax.net).
An interesting feature of Bermuda’s company formation regulations concerns the requirement for the chain of ownership being made transparent in order to identify the beneficial owners in cases in which shares are held by non-residents: “A company which is seeking to issue equity to a non-resident, as defined in regulation 3 of the Exchange Control Regulations, must seek permission from the Controller of Foreign Exchange under regulation 12, which involves the vetting of the non-residents including the full disclosure of the chain of ownership of any person owning 5% or more of the company. Changes after incorporation of more than 5% of ownership are required to be approved by the Controller of Foreign Exchange.” (GF 2010: 18). However, the regulation leave at least two small loopholes: first, the Controller may exempt a person of these requirements, and second, the changes of beneficial ownership does not need to be reported to a government authority if the BO is not a a non-resident. The latter provision opens the door for so-called private trust companies (GF 2010: 27-28) being used as structures to circumvent these requirements.
INCSR’s relative silence on Bermuda’s role in money laundering is surprising given the weak FATF-assessment score and the criticial comments by the IMF in 2008 on anti-money laundering efforts in Bermuda (see section on money laundering below). INCSR wrote in 2011: “Bermuda is not considered a major drug transit country; however, the majority of the money laundering that occurs in Bermuda is believed to be related to the domestic drug trade. Money laundering proceeds are controlled primarily by gangs, which have proliferated in recent years. There is no significant black market for smuggled goods in Bermuda. There are no free trade zones, hawalas or other informal financial sector entities in Bermuda in which money laundering/ terrorist financing occurs. However, there are cases where domestic criminals utilize the formal financial sector for money laundering purposes. Bermuda does not permit offshore banks; a foreign bank may establish a subsidiary as a Bermuda company with its own board of directors, but may not establish a branch. Bermuda does not permit bearer shares, nor does it permit shell companies.” (INCSR 2011: 52).
