In response to a recent money laundering scandal that rocked Singapore’s financial sector, the industry has ramped up its oversight of clients with Chinese heritage who also hold foreign citizenships. The scandal, involving assets exceeding S$2.4 billion ($1.8 billion), had a significant impact on the Asian financial hub in the previous month.
As part of this heightened scrutiny, special attention has been directed at clients possessing investment-linked passports from foreign countries, primarily of Chinese origin. Sources with knowledge of the situation report that these individuals are undergoing thorough reviews for their new account openings and transactions.
An undisclosed international bank, citing the sensitive nature of the matter, has begun the process of closing accounts held by clients with citizenships from various countries, including Cambodia, Cyprus, Turkey, and Vanuatu. This proactive measure is aimed at preventing potential financial misconduct in the future.
