Dear Ms. Ocampo,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Dec 16, 2022 01:15:00 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
The Provisional Certificate of Registration (PCOR) with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) is being required by the bank of its customer due diligence because real estate developers, such as ACE SES Realty and Development Corp., are covered persons under Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended (AMLA).
The AMLC PCOR may be obtained by registering at the AMLC Portal at https://portal.amlc.gov.ph/amlc/ and uploading the following documents pursuant to Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 AMLC Registration and Reporting Guidelines (ARRG) and Section 49 of the 2021 Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism Financing Guidelines for Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBP Guidelines):
(a) Most recent Articles of Incorporation and General Information Sheet from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC);
(b) Notarized Deeds of Undertaking of the entity, signed by the proprietor/partners/president/directors; and
(c) Notarized Board Resolution or Certificate of Designation as Compliance Officer.
After registration, you will be provided a PCOR, which you can use to the bank for the opening of an account, in compliance with the latter’s customer due diligence measures prescribed under the Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR) of the AMLA.
However, it should be noted that the PCOR shall only be valid for a period of six (6) months, and a Certificate of Registration will be issued upon submission of the following requirements under Section 50 of the DNFBP Guidelines:
(a) Copy of business registration or permit from the city or municipality currently having jurisdiction over the place of establishment and operation of the office;
(b) List of operating office locations;
(c) Proof of attendance of the proprietor, partners, directors and principal officers in an AML seminar; and
(d) Most recent Clearance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) or its equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction, of all directors and principal officers.
The step-by-step registration procedure is laid down under Part 2 (Online Registration) of the 2021 ARRG.
Should you require assistance at any stage of the process, or for any registration-related query, you may contact the Registration Staff, Data Collection and Management Unit, Compliance and Supervision Group of the AMLC, through Telephone Nos. (632) 87087067, (632) 53103244, or Cellphone Nos. (63)915-778-0720 and (63)968-772-7045.
You may, likewise, visit our website at http://www.amlc.gov.ph/ for updates regarding the matter.
We hope we have been of assistance.
