Compliance
Our Compliance department ensures that all employees are aware of the applicable law, our internal rules and regulatory standards and that compliance can be monitored.
As a financial service provider, we are subject to a variety of legal regulations, including the German Banking Act, the Securities Trading Act, and the Investment Act. Our Compliance department ensures that we consistently adhere to all regulations for money and securities transactions.
The Compliance department is structured as an integrated compliance organization. This means that from a central unit, the regulatory requirements of capital market and investment law (capital market and real estate compliance), measures to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and criminal activities (anti-financial crime), as well as the risk management requirements for a compliance function (regulatory compliance) are fulfilled.
As part of our tasks, we advise the specialized units on the implementation of effective procedures to ensure compliance with applicable rules and are available with our expertise for all other regulatory issues. Additionally, the Compliance department assumes the functions of the group money laundering officer, the procedure manager, and the independent body.
