Registering aliases in relation to accounts

The present note covers several scenarios:

• the account holder is known under multiple identities or pseudonyms

• the same person holds several accounts under different identities (if applicable fictitious) or pseudonyms

It applies exclusively to aliases related to accounts.

The objective of the CRF is to link the different identities in order to group them under a single person.

This procedure must only be used if the reporting entity concludes that a single person is using multiple identities or pseudonyms.

From the “Account” page, select “Related Person(s)”.

Indicate first the person whose identity you consider to be the correct one.

Then add one individual entry for each of that person’s aliases.

Special attention should be paid to two fields in the individual form:

• Tax number
• Comment

The “Tax number” is used to create links between persons. If you believe that the same person uses several aliases, the same unique number must be entered for each of these persons.

To avoid any overlap with other reporting entities, the chosen unique number must be prefixed with the reporting entity’s BIC code.

Example: CRFLLULL-unique number, e.g. CRFLLULL-123456

In the “Comments” field:

• enter “main person” for the person whose identity you consider to be correct
• enter “alias” for the other persons

After submitting the different persons, the report may look as follows:
