Notable Quotes 2
You'll need to order updated research and complete a KYC update. Essentially, you have to treat it the way you'd treat a brand new client.
Please note that this is a high risk client and the KYC will need to be reviewed by AML Compliance; I've cc'd them so they are aware of the rush.
