Question 6

Who is required to perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD) in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Under Singapore's anti-money-laundering / counter-financing-of-terrorism (AML/CFT) framework, regulated dealers must perform CDD on customers in transactions above prescribed thresholds. Real estate agencies and salespersons also use CDD-style checks under CEA's professional service requirements to identify clients and assess money-laundering risk.

Question 7

How long do I need to retain CDD records?

Accepted Answer

Singapore's regulatory frameworks generally require CDD records to be retained for at least 5 years after the end of the business relationship or the date of an occasional transaction. Records may be kept electronically.

Question 8

What is the difference between CDD and ECDD?

Accepted Answer

CDD (Customer Due Diligence) is the standard identity and risk-assessment process performed on every customer. ECDD (Enhanced Customer Due Diligence) is required when the customer presents higher risk — for example, a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), a customer in a high-risk jurisdiction on the FATF list, or where the dealer's own risk assessment flags the relationship. ECDD requires senior management approval before proceeding with the transaction.

Question 9

Who is considered a Politically Exposed Person (PEP)?

Accepted Answer

A PEP is an individual who holds (or has held) a prominent public function — for example a senior politician, judge, military officer, or executive of a state-owned enterprise. The definition extends to their immediate family members and close associates. Dealing with a PEP automatically triggers Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD).
