1. Anti-Money Laundering Procedures -
Download Identification by Certified Copy Form

The Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act (2006) requires the Australian Lending Centre to play an active role in identifying and alleviating money laundering and terrorism financing risks faced by the organisation. This includes carrying out a procedure to officially verify a customer's identity before providing certain services.

In certain circumstances, you must provide (together with your completed Application Form) an Identification by Certified Copy form. This includes:

• For individuals (including Signatories and Agents) - two Primary Photographic Identification Documents; or one Primary Photographic Identification Document and one Secondary Identification Document (for a list of these documents, please download our Identification by Certified Copy Form).
• For trust applicants - an original certified copy of your trust deed extract.

By following the above procedures, potential issues can be avoided and applications can be sped up on our end.
