Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Comprehensive training on customer due diligence procedures and best practices

Module 1 · Understanding CDD

What Customer Due Diligence is, why FICA requires it, and what it is made of.

Module Quiz

1. Under FICA, what is the difference between "establishing" and "verifying" identity?

They mean the same thing

Establishing is collecting the details; verifying is confirming them against a reliable, independent source

Establishing is for companies; verifying is for individuals

Verifying only happens after a suspicious transaction

2. Who must go through CDD?

Only clients who seem suspicious

Only foreign clients

Every client — CDD is the baseline check for all of them

Only clients transacting in cash

3. What does "beneficial ownership" mean?

The shareholder who receives the biggest dividend

The actual human beings who ultimately own or control a company or trust

The director listed first on the CIPC record

The bank that finances the company

Module 2 · Doing CDD in practice

The practical steps: identify, verify, and keep watching.

Module Quiz

1. Which of these counts as independent verification of a South African client's identity?

The client confirms their ID number over the phone

A photocopy of the ID supplied by the client

Checking the ID number against Home Affairs records

The client's email signature

2. How long must CDD and transaction records be kept under FICA?

1 year from onboarding

At least 5 years after the relationship or transaction ends

Only while the client is active

6 months after the last transaction

3. Which of these is a "trigger event" that should prompt fresh due diligence?

A client makes their usual monthly payment

A dormant account suddenly starts moving large amounts

A client updates their marketing preferences

A client logs in from their home town
