Kiev, Ukraine, Bensheim, Germany, May 10th, 2011 – TONBELLER AG will support Ukrainian organizations to deal with developments and impacts of the national anti money laundering (AML) and counter terrorism financing (CTF) legislations.
Ukrainian legislation
In May 2010, President Yanukovich signed the amendments to the Law of Ukraine “on Prevention and Counteraction to Legalization (Laundering) of the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing”. This in an effort to bring Ukraine’s legislative framework in sync with the rest of the world to combat money laundering and terrorism financing on the territory of Ukraine.
TONBELLER offers support and services in Ukraine and elsewhere in the CIS region to support banks, insurances, financial service providers and other organizations to comply with local and national regulatory requirements in the area of financial crime prevention. TONBELLER offers Siron Compliance Solutions a set of modular, integrated software for anti-money laundering , counter terrorism financing , fraud detection as well as managing the initial risk rating during customer acceptance (Know Your Customer - KYC principle).

Most of TONBELLERS Siron Compliance Solutions are available in Russian which supports customers to drive more value in their fight against financial crime.
Latest Developments in Ukraine/ Compelling Event:
Early April 2011, Resolution of Board of The National Bank of Ukraine approved No. 189 on Provisions on Performance of Financial Monitoring by Banks. The main changes for banks are that they have to
