Dear prospective clients, we appreciate your interest in working with our company and thank you for choosing 42FS to help you on your path to business success.

It is important to note that today, trading in the financial market is subject to a wide range of legal requirements and obligations. In particular, these requirements are set out by MiFID II, REMIT and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML) regulations to ensure the safety, transparency and credibility of the entire financial sector. These requirements that we have to comply with include, for example, the collection of identification data and the verification of the identity of our clients (authorised personnel and statutory bodies). Although these measures may be somewhat lengthy or seemingly unpleasant at times, it is essential for us to comply with them. This ensures that our cooperation is conducted in accordance with the law.

We therefore draw the attention of potential customers or new employees of our current customers that in order to comply with legal requirements, you will be asked for your identification data of your company, your personal identification data and personal identification data of members of your statutory body. Compliance with these legal requirements is a prerequisite for entering into a contractual relationship. Compliance with requirements such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering) or MiFID II is not only our legal obligation, but also a way to protect your business and ensure transparency of your transactions. These measures allow us to provide you with the highest level of service while also helping to keep the financial sector healthy and trustworthy.

We would like to assure you that any information we request from you is properly protected and used only in accordance with data protection laws (GDPR). Your satisfaction and trust are our priority.
