ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING POLICY

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) & ANTI-HUNDI/HAWALA POLICY

Policy Code: BIZ-PK-AML-2026
Effective Date: March 28, 2026
Portal Application: pk.bizoso.ca | www.bizoso.ca
Jurisdiction: Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Legal Foundation: The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act 2010; State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Prudential Regulations; Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Guidelines; Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Act 1974.

1. Corporate Commitment to AML Compliance

Bizoso Consulta Pakistan operates as a fully transparent, legally registered corporate entity. We are committed to the highest standards of international financial compliance and adhere strictly to the guidelines set forth by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

We explicitly refuse to allow our corporate infrastructure, administrative services, or B2B partner networks to be utilized as a conduit for money laundering, terrorist financing, or the illicit transfer of capital.

2. Absolute Prohibition of Hawala & Hundi

The Client explicitly acknowledges that the use of informal, unregulated value transfer systems—commonly known as Hawala or Hundi—is a federal crime in Pakistan.

Bizoso Consulta maintains a strict Zero-Tolerance Policy regarding unregistered money transmitters:

  • No Unofficial Transfers: The Client is strictly prohibited from routing payments to Bizoso Consulta, its employees, or its B2B travel agent partners through Hawaladars, Hundi operators, or unregistered currency exchanges.

  • Corporate Non-Recognition: If a Client attempts to pay an invoice via Hawala/Hundi, or hands cash to an unauthorized third-party broker claiming to represent our firm, Bizoso Consulta will refuse to recognize the transaction. No CRM receipt will be issued, and no administrative services will be rendered.

  • Client Risk: The Client bears 100% of the financial loss if their funds are seized by law enforcement or stolen by an unregulated broker.

3. Acceptable Financial Channels (The "Clean Money" Rule)

To ensure total financial transparency and traceability, Bizoso Consulta only accepts payments routed through the formal, regulated global banking system.

  • Authorized Methods: All invoice settlements must be executed via direct Inter-Bank Fund Transfer (IBFT), Raast, clearing of a recognized Corporate Cheque, or through authorized digital payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, direct credit card processing) integrated directly into pk.bizoso.ca.

  • Account Matching: The name of the originating bank account or credit card must logically match the identity of the Client registered in the CRM, or an authorized family sponsor.

4. Source of Funds (SOF) & Business/Investor Visa Audits

For specific high-value facilitation categories (such as Business Visas, Investor Programs, or B2B Corporate Partner onboarding), Bizoso Consulta enforces enhanced financial scrutiny.

  • SOF Declarations: We reserve the right to demand a formal "Source of Funds" or "Source of Wealth" declaration before accepting an application.

  • FBR/Tax Alignment: The Client’s claimed financial capability must logically align with their stated income and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) tax filings.

  • Bizoso Consulta will immediately reject any file where the funds appear to be derived from illicit activities, corruption, tax evasion, or undocumented ("black") cash reserves.

5. Third-Party Payments & Sponsorship Integrity

Bizoso Consulta monitors for "layered" or suspicious third-party payments that attempt to obscure the true origin of funds.

  • The Prohibition of Unknown Sponsors: We do not accept invoice payments from unknown, unrelated third parties.

  • Authorized Sponsorship: If an invoice is being settled by a third party (such as a parent, sibling, or corporate employer), the Client must formally declare this relationship in the portal. Our compliance team may require a signed Financial Sponsorship Affidavit and proof of relationship (e.g., a NADRA FRC or official corporate employment letter) before the funds are legally credited to the Client’s ledger.

6. Mandatory Reporting (The FMU & FIA Handoff)

As a compliant corporate entity, Bizoso Consulta will not shield financial criminals.

  • Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR): If our accounting or compliance team detects structured payments (smurfing), attempts to use stolen credit cards, forged banking receipts (e.g., fake IBFT screenshots), or explicit attempts to launder funds through our consulting fees, we are legally empowered to act.

  • Immediate Escalation: We will proactively file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) with the Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) of the Government of Pakistan.

  • Law Enforcement Handoff: In cases of overt financial fraud, Bizoso Consulta will immediately freeze the Client's portal account, forfeit any legitimate funds already paid (to cover forensic auditing costs), and hand over the Client's IP logs, identity details, and financial records to the FIA Commercial Banking Circle.

Contact & Support
