Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009

Ministerial Exemptions Under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009

In accordance with section 157(6)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (“the Act”), the Minister of Justice hereby gives notice that she has granted the following exemptions from the AML/CFT Act:

Ministerial Exemption: South Canterbury Women’s Loan Fund Trust

1. As the Minister of Justice, pursuant to section 157 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (“the Act”), I exempt South Canterbury Women’s Loan Fund Trust from all provisions of the Act.

2. This exemption has been made for the following reasons:

   (a) There is a low risk of money laundering and terrorist financing through South Canterbury Women’s Loan Fund Trust as:

   (i) it is a not for profit organisation that charges no interest, nor pays any interest on funds loaned to customers;

   (ii) it limits its lending to offering low value low volume loans to allow women to access safe funding for employment, business or educational purposes;

   (iii) it offers defined and limited services to specific customers with robust internal processes that confirm the identity of the applicants and the purpose for which loans provided will be used;

   (iv) trustees make the final decision on all lending applications and retain control of the use of funds of the organisation for lending purposes; and

   (v) it meets the criteria of a “low risk” financial inclusion institution under FATF guidelines, making it suitable for a full exemption.

3. The obligations imposed on South Canterbury Women’s Loan Fund Trust would be disproportionate given the low risk of money laundering or terrorist financing in the circumstances outlined in this exemption.

4. This exemption comes into force on the day after the date I grant this exemption (13 March 2014).

5. This exemption will expire will expire on 30 June 2018.

Ministerial Exemption: Auckland Women’s Loan Fund

1. As the Minister of Justice, pursuant to section 157 of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (the Act), I exempt Auckland Women’s Loan Fund (AWLF) from all provisions of the Act.

2. This exemption has been made for the following reasons:

   (a) There is a low risk of money laundering and terrorist financing through Auckland Women’s Loan Fund as:

   (i) it is a not for profit organisation that charges no interest, nor pays any interest on funds loaned to customers;

   (ii) it limits its lending to offering low value low volume loans to allow women to access safe funding for employment, business or educational purposes;

   (iii) it offers defined and limited services to specific customers with robust internal processes that confirm the identity of the applicants and the purpose for which loans provided will be used;

   (iv) trustees make the final decision on all lending applications and retain control of the use of funds of the organisation for lending purposes; and

   (v) it meets the criteria of a “low risk” financial inclusion institution under FATF guidelines, making it suitable for a full exemption.

3. The obligations imposed on Auckland Women’s Loan Fund would be disproportionate given the low risk of money laundering or terrorist financing in the circumstances outlined in this exemption.
