Some banks do not have the conditions to open an account in absentia

Young Journalists Club – Mr. Ali Nezafatian said: Opening an account online requires a number of electronic tools and infrastructure, there should be a difference between a legal license to open an account or to perform banking operations through cyberspace.

“Operationally, the necessary infrastructure must be provided so that this decision of the Supreme Money Laundering Council can be implemented in the entire banking system,” he said.

Banks are required by law to identify the customer for any type of banking operation. One of the easiest ways to authenticate a customer is to visit the bank in person and authenticate in person, which did not require a license from the Supreme Anti-Money Laundering Council. .

The decree on providing basic banking services online was approved by the Supreme Council for Combating Money Laundering on February 15, 2014. The level of readiness of banks depends on the degree of their mastery of digital services. Before the approval of this instruction, such services were banned, now this ban has been lifted and banks will compete in this direction in accordance with the provisions approved today.
