汇丰:关闭账户与警方拘捕行动无关 致力奉行最高监管原则
警方昨日(19日)称「星火同盟」涉洗黑钱,拘捕四人并已冻结一家怀疑涉案空壳公司7,000万元款项。早前汇丰冻结「星火同盟」其中一个收款账户,汇丰发言人表示,从不轻率处理账户暂停或关闭决定,并强调收到客户有关处理账户余额的指示後,於2019年11月将账户关闭,整个过程与警方昨天的拘捕行动无关。
该行声明,对於部分不实评论,以及对事件的揣测表示失望。该行按照国际监管标准,作出关闭账户的决定。综观该行在全球经营的各个市场,当地的监管者均期望各大银行定期为客户进行尽职审查,事件中涉及的账户交易活动与开户时所陈述的用途并不相符。该行致力奉行最高监管原则,以维护所有账户的正常运作,同时将继续公平公正地履行有关监管规则。
汇丰再次重申,关闭有关账户的决定,与近日香港的情况无关。
