Guardian International Currency Corporation (Guardian) is committed to helping detect and deter money laundering and terrorist financing activities and prides itself on compliance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA).

As a Money Services Business under the PCMLTFA, we have certain client identification, record keeping and reporting obligations. To that end, we have developed a series of policies and procedures designed to meet or exceed our regulatory requirements.

Know Your Client

We are required to take steps to identify our clients and keep records of our client accounts and transactions. We are required to report Large Cash transactions and Electronic Funds Transfers to the Financial Transactions Reports and Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). We are also required to recognize and report transactions where there is a suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, or threats to the security of Canada.

Compliance Regime

The PCMLTFA requires the implementation of a Compliance Regime , which includes the appointment of a Compliance Officer, implementation of policies and procedures, ongoing compliance training for staff and a periodic review of the regime.

All staff at Guardian participate in ongoing compliance training to ensure the policies and procedures are working properly. Guardian has appointed a Compliance Officer to oversee the company's compliance regime. Further inquires can be directed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
