Chief Inspector of the Commercial Crime Bureau (CCB) Tang Shun-yan and Senior Inspector of CCB Adrian Suen were invited as guest speakers in a virtual workshop hosted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on July 22. The webinar, whose theme was on remote onboarding and stooge account, was attended by over 200 professionals from around 90 member banks of the Hong Kong Association of Banks.

Under their respective topic of “Examining Identity Documents” and “Stooge Account Network Analytics Initiative - Project AMLNet”, the two CCB officers explained to the attendees their case studies on gatekeeping measures against remote onboarding, emerging modus operandi, experience on analytics to unveil stooge account networks, good practices recommended, and room for deepening collaboration with the banking sector in the future. It is hoped that financial crimes and money laundering activities can be curbed more effectively and a robust anti-money laundering regime will be established.
