PART AA1. Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

Money Laundering (ML)ML is theattempt toconcealordisguisethenature,location,source,ownershiporcontrolofillegallyobtainedmoney. If illegal money is successfully laundered,criminals maintain control over their illegally obtained funds and they can establish a separate cover for their illicit source of income. AML laws apply to any funds derivedfromillegalactivities,suchasfundsheldbydrugtraffickers,terrorists,organisedcrime,illegaltaxevaders,peoplesmuggling&othergroups&individualsseekingtotransfer,spendand/orinvestmoneyderivedfrom any type of crime.

The ML cycle includes placing funds into the financialsystem by sending money transfers. Once the funds have enteredthesystem,thesourceofillegalfundsisfurtherdisguisedbytransferringthemthroughlayersoffinancialinstitutions,suchasbankor investment accounts.Finally, the funds are legitimised by purchasingitems or investing in legitimate investments such as real estate,realproperty,stocksandbonds.

A3. Monitoring of TransactionsTheAffiliate will put in placeamonitoringsystemto review transactions on a daily basis. Suspicious transactions are highlighted and alerts are generated for furtherreviews(ECDD)bythecompliancestaff.

Ifnecessary,MoneyGramwill conductspecial reviewofareasortransmissioncorridorsthathavebeenidentifiedby Regulators, law enforcementagencies,or throughpriorMoneyGramexperience,asareasthatmaybemoresusceptibletocriminalactivity,includingthefinancingofterrorism.

A4. Suspicious Activity

Structuring Structuring is the act of breaking up large transactions into several smaller transactions to avoid providing personally identifying information.

Many money launderers are familiar with the dollar thresholds that require record keeping & reporting.To remain anonymous and avoid the detection of law enforcement officials, money launders attemptto process transactions to avoid triggering record keeping and/or reporting requirements.Theprocessingof transactions thatavoid recordkeepingand/or reportrequirementsisknownas“structuring”.

Money launderers may also attempt to trick employees into allowing them to structure transactions by splitting up transactions with several accomplices or by trying to “con” employeeswith a hard luck story. Employeesneed to be on the lookout for structuring so that they can prevent it from occurring.

It is not appropriate and is suspicious to structure transactions or to help customers avoid record keeping orreporting requirements. Employees should not tellor even imply to a customer that he/she canavoid providing information by conducting transactions of smaller amounts. The following examples of potential structuring are specifically designed to avoid record keeping

3.AcustomervisitstwodifferentMoneyGramAffiliate’slocationsonasingleday&conductstwomoneytransfersofAUD5,500ateach locationandboth transactionsaresent to the same receiver.

It is not appropriate for the Affiliate, its employees or customers to structure transactions in order to avoid the record keeping or reporting requirements.

Employees should never help anyone structure a transaction to avoid AML reporting or record keeping requirements.

Employees should never tell customers how to avoid any transaction limitation.

Suspicious ActivitySuspicious activity can vary from one transaction to another based on the circumstances surrounding the transaction or group of transactions.One customer’stransaction(s) may be normal based on knowledge of that customer,whileanothercustomer’stransaction(s)maybesuspicious.

Many factors are involved in determining whether transactionsaresuspicious, including,butnot limited tothe amount, the location of the store, commentsmadebythecustomer, thecustomer’sbehaviourandthecustomer’sprevioustransactionhistory.DetailsofECDDresultsarealsomostrelevantintheprocessof determining the legality of the transaction. The following list provides examples of potentially suspiciousactivity that maybe identified for furtherresearch,review&possiblereportingtoAUSTRAC:•A customer or employee appears to structuretransactions in an attempt to avoid AML record keepingorreportingrequirements;• An individualprovidesminimalorfictitious informationconcerningtheirname&otheridentifyingdata;• A customer engages in a discussion with anemployee to try to determine ways to avoid reporting or recordkeepingrequirements;•AcustomerusesafalseorobviouslyalteredID;•AcustomerisunableorunwillingtoprovideID;•TwoormorecustomersusethesameorsimilarIDs;•Acustomertriestoalterhis/hertransactionafterbeingaskedtoshowID;•Acustomerdeliberatelychangesthespellingofhis/hername on multiple transactions; •Acustomerstateshe/shedoesnothavea localaddressbuthe/sheappearstoresidelocallybecausehe/she is a repeat customer;• Two or more customers apparently work together tobreak one transaction into two or more transactions to avoidrecordkeepingrequirements(i.e.AUD10,000);

•Acustomeruses twoormore locationsorcashiersonthe same day to process transactions; •Acustomeroffersbribes,tipsorthreatensemployeestoavoidrecordkeepingrequirements;• A customer admits that the cash for his/hertransactions came from illegal conduct; •Acustomermakes large transactions that arenotconsistentwithhis/heroccupationorbusinesspractice;•Acustomerhasnobusinessorapparentlawfulpurposeto transfer the money;•Whenitisknownthatamoneytransferistofacilitatecriminal activity;•Asendersendsmoneytoapersonwhomthesenderdoes not know or familiar with and the purpose of transaction relates to a lottery or internet purchase;•Duringcorridortransactionreview,whenagroupofsenders having the same residential address in Australia send money on the same day to the same receiver in an overseas country while their total send amount is higher thanthereportingthresholdofAUD10,000.

(The above suggestions are not exhaustive and there maybeotherscenarioswhichtheAffiliatemayconsidersuspicious).

Affiliate Procedures in Reporting Structuring and Suspicious Activity1.The Affiliate has employed a monitoring systemto review transactions on a daily basis. Suspicious transactions are highlighted and alerts are generated for further reviews by compliance staff.2. Compliance staff also reviews Australian transactions through various corridors every month to highlight and identify any suspicious transactions. 3.IfanyAffiliate’semployeediscoversanysuspiciousactivities, transactions or violations of this ComplianceProgram,theemployeeisrequiredtoreportthesuspicious activities to the compliance staff regardless ofthedollaramount.Uponreceivingtheinformation,thecompliance staff shall investigate the case as soon as possible.4. Suspicious activities or transactions may be referred to the compliance staff. Upon receiving the information, the compliance staff shall investigate thecase as soon as possible. 5.Ifasuspiciononstructuring,moneylaundering,terrorist financing or other criminal activity is formed, aSMR shall be prepared and submitted to AUSTRAC by the compliance staff authorized to have access to AUSTRACOn-Line.6. After the SMR has been successfully submitted to AUSTRAC, the compliance staff shall keep a record oftheSMRandAUSTRAC’sacknowledgementreceiptinfilesforrecordpurposes.

Employees must not alert the customer conducting the suspicious transaction of their suspicions or that a SMR has been or will be filed.Having considered the above risk mitigation & controlmeasures the money transfer business is regarded as HIGHRISKinMLandTF.

PART BB1. Identification of ML and TF Risks

Risk-based KYC Policy

InthecourseofdesigningtheKYCPolicy,theAffiliateinconjunctionwithMoneyGramhasconsideredthefollowingriskfactors:

•CustomerTypeRisk•Product/ServiceRisk

Inviewofthenature,size&complexityofMoneyGram,and having considered the risk mitigation and control measures mentioned in PointA2 of thisProgram,MoneyGramandtheAffiliateregards itsrisks inrespectofKYCasHIGHRISKinMLandTF.Therefore,thefollowing KYC Policy has been developed.

B2. KYC Policy

(a) Basic KYC Policy (not applicable to Affiliates of TAFMO/Touch Networks) Required Customer Data for processing a MoneyGram® money transfer transaction

One of the most effective ways to protect MoneyGram and itsAffiliatesfrombecomingthevictimoffinancialcrimesstarts with verifying the identity of the customers and knowing with whom the money transfer transactions are conducted.

Individual Customer (Natural Person)To also ensure compliance with the Customer Identification requirements as laid down in Part 4.2 oftheAML&CTFRulesInstrument2007(No.1)issuedbyAUSTRAC,MoneyGram requires itsAffiliates to collectthe following customer data for both parties for every send or receive money transfer transaction irrespective of the transactionamount:

1.FullNameofbothparties2. Physical Address of both parties 3.TelephoneNumber(ifany)4.ValidGovernmentIssuedPhotoID5.DateofBirth6. Occupation7. Transaction Amount 8.TransactionDate9. Signature of the customer on either Send or Receive Form

Ifacustomerrefusestoprovidetheaboverequiredinformation, or if a customer’s Identification Documentdoesnotmatchwithhis/herappearance,MoneyGramoritsAffiliateinAustraliaWILL NOT process the transaction.

Note The customer must provide a physical permanent residential addresswhere he/she resides. If it isanaddressinAustralia,MoneyGramAffiliatesarerequiredtorecordandinputthePostalCodeandNameofStateintoMoneyGramsystem.APostOfficebox(P.O.Box)isnot
