Security and Compliance at the Core
Trust is earned through transparency, accountability and rigorous compliance standards.
Compliance Is Not a Department. It Is the Foundation.
Sentenor Bank maintains robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) and risk management frameworks designed to meet international regulatory expectations.
Our commitment to security extends across client onboarding, transaction monitoring and data protection, ensuring that our clients can bank with confidence.
These standards apply to every client, every account and every transaction — from first contact through the life of the relationship.
Four Pillars of Client Protection
Our Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer frameworks follow a risk-based approach aligned with international standards and the requirements of our regulator.
AML Controls
A robust Anti-Money Laundering programme with documented policies, independent oversight and ongoing staff training, designed to meet international regulatory expectations.
KYC Onboarding
Every relationship begins with rigorous Know Your Customer due diligence — identity verification, source-of-funds review and risk classification before any account is opened.
Transaction Monitoring
Continuous screening of payments and account activity against risk profiles and sanctions lists, with escalation procedures for anything that falls outside expected patterns.
Data Protection
Client information is held under strict confidentiality and security controls, with access limited to authorised personnel and protected across our banking infrastructure.
