Singapore MAS Fines Atrium Asia Investment Management $1.4 Million & Reprimands CEO Mintarja Oei for Money Laundering Failures, Inadequate Processes to Detect & Report Suspicious & Unusually Large Client Transactions with 3rd-Parties, Did Not Verify Relationships Between Clients & 3rd-Parties, Did Not Identify Several Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), Failed to Perform Enhanced Customer Due Diligence, and Did Not Record Identities or Keep Updated Records of Several Beneficial Owners (BOs)

30th October 2024 | Hong Kong

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has fined Atrium Asia Investment Management $1.4 million (S$1.9 million) and issued a reprimand to CEO Mintarja Oei for money laundering failures, including inadequate processes to detect & report suspicious & unusually large client transactions with 3rd-parties, did not verify relationships between clients & 3rd-parties, did not identify several politically exposed persons (PEPs), failed to perform enhanced customer due diligence, and did not record identities or keep updated records of several beneficial owners (BOs).   Singapore MAS (29/10/24): “The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has imposed a composition penalty of S$1.9 million on Atrium Asia Investment Management Pte. Ltd. (AAIM) for breaches of MAS’ anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) requirements. MAS has also issued a reprimand to AAIM’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Mintarja Oei, for failing to ensure AAIM’s compliance with MAS’ AML/CFT requirements.  MAS’ inspection of AAIM found that the Company’s internal policy and procedures at the material time were inadequate. This led to multiple breaches of MAS’ AML/CFT requirements from June 2015 to October 2020, putting the firm at risk of being misused for financial crime. The breaches included AAIM’s failure to: (a) Implement adequate processes to detect and report suspicious and unusually large customer transactions with third parties. As a result, AAIM processed several such transactions without taking adequate steps to verify the purported relationships between its customers and the third parties;  (b) Implement appropriate internal procedures to determine if business relations with customers presented a higher risk of ML/TF. Consequently, AAIM did not properly assess the ML/TF risks posed by its customers or take the appropriate risk mitigation measures to address tax-related ML risk;  (c) Implement appropriate internal risk management systems and procedures to determine if customers and related persons were politically exposed persons (PEPs) or close associates of PEPs. As a result, AAIM did not identify several customers to be PEPs and failed to perform enhanced customer due diligence measures; and. (d) Implement adequate internal procedures to keep records of documents and information that AAIM was required to obtain from customers to meet AML/CFT requirements. As a result, AAIM did not record the identities of several customers’ beneficial owners (BOs) and failed to keep up-to-date documents to verify BOs’ identities.  MAS found that AAIM’s key breaches are attributable to Mr Oei, as CEO of AAIM, failing to ensure that AAIM’s compliance with MAS’ AML/CFT requirements. MAS has therefore issued a reprimand to Mr Oei.  MAS notes that AAIM has since taken remedial actions to address the deficiencies that have been identified.”
