Authorities have intensified oversight on money transfers conducted through exchange houses on behalf of others, even for small amounts.
According to a report by Al Rai Daily, money exchange companies have been instructed to enforce stricter verification measures to identify the actual beneficiary of each transfer, regardless of whether the amount is less than 50 dinars. Authorities will now scrutinize the relationship between the sender and the recipient, with special attention to transactions that are repeated periodically and for the same value each time.
It is common practice among expatriates to assist colleagues or domestic workers by transferring small sums using their own Civil ID. According to reports, they may be subject to inquiries and required to provide additional documentation to justify the purpose of the transfer, particularly if it occurs regularly.
Regulatory authorities also emphasized the importance of maintaining comprehensive records of all transactions, including relevant documents and customer details, for a minimum of five years from the date of completion.
