- The discussion of bypassing the full KYC process to expedite onboarding raises concerns about potential regulatory violations. The statement 'The reason for umbrella first is to bypass the full KYC ( we still provide some documentation, but not a full blown KYC doc) and as discussed, this process will change soon' suggests a deliberate attempt to avoid scrutiny.

Notable Quotes 3
if GM will not rely on the WM KYC anymore, why are they relying on a (questionable) WM determination of PEP status of the UBO?
Someone on GM client onboarding team directly onboarded onto DBCAR and initiated the full blown KYC for a WM client (don't ask me why)
Well, things get tricky and blurred here. SF has been treated as a Pershing and WM OTC Account until we started extending GM relationships to products beyond FX Options (RMS) and OTC Rates (Summit), namely we onboarded them now to Global Credit Derivatives and GED (OTC Equities).
Red Flags 3
- Concerns about the reliance on WM KYC for PEP status determination.
- Confusion and lack of clarity regarding the onboarding process for Dakota Pacific.
- Blurred lines regarding the classification of Southern Financial as a PIC client.
