Why this sector is in scope

Precious metals and stones are considered higher-risk goods for money laundering.

High-value transactions can be used to convert or move criminal proceeds.

Dealers need to verify customer identity and maintain appropriate records.

Stronger checks apply when transactions meet or exceed certain value thresholds.

  • What you check: Customer identity documents and information for applicable transactions.
  • How you record it: AML Guardian stores verification evidence with a timestamped audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all sales require customer verification checks?

Not necessarily — obligations are typically triggered when transactions meet certain thresholds or present higher risk factors. AML Guardian helps you identify when checks are required.

Large cash transactions, unusual purchasing patterns, reluctance to provide identification, and transactions just below reporting thresholds are all common higher-risk indicators.

Records of customer verification, transaction details, risk assessments, screening results, and training — typically for at least 7 years.

All staff involved in sales of precious metals and stones need training on AML/CTF obligations, red flag identification, and your firm's compliance procedures.

AML Guardian automatically screens customers against PEP, sanctions, and adverse media databases as part of the verification process, with results documented for your audit trail.
