FICA
 
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (FICA) was enacted for the purpose of identifying the proceeds of unlawful activities, combating money laundering and the financing of terrorist and related activities.

FICA imposes certain obligations on persons and institutions that may be approached and employed for these purposes. As an attorney firm, we qualify as an accountable institution in terms of FICA and must comply with its requirements. FICA obliges us to establish and verify the identity of our clients. We are required to request copies of certain documents that have been identified as necessary for this purpose, and required to keep adequate records of these documents for a certain time period.

FICA also requires us to report certain domestic and international transactions to the Financial Intelligence Centre, which in turn provides such information to other intelligence and investigatory bodies, should the circumstances so require.

As a firm, we are committed to ethical conduct and the prevention of money laundering and terrorist activities, but aim to balance the rights and privacy of our clients against our obligations in terms of FICA and undertake to maintain the privacy of our clients and only to disclose such information as required to be kept by us in terms of FICA and when requested to do so by the Financial Intelligence Centre.

Should you have any questions relating to FICA you may contact our compliance officer, Alisia Peens at alisia@dbmlaw.com or 034 328 1300.

    We are so grateful for the continued support we have received from DBM this year, from the seminars to the professional legal service we receive on a day to day basis. It is such an honor to work with a team that is invested in our growth as Agents. 

    I would like to firstly thank Mrs. Alisia Peens, who has been with me since the beginning of my journey. Your patience, moral support, and advice have meant the world to me. You have been indeed a pillar of strength to me.

    I would also to thank Mrs. Lezea Grobler and the rest of the management team for the support that has rendered to us. We received so much support even in the form of leads this year. I am so grateful. 

    Faith, Elize, Mandy, Lynette I am so impressed with the hard work you have put in this year.  Your level of excellence and determination is unparalleled. It has been amazing working with you ladies. You are so versed in this industry and make working with DBM such a pleasure. 

    I cannot forget Prishilla and her team for their bond registering work. You have delivered time and again, thank you so much for the great work. 

    Lastly, I would like to thank Vanessa, who joined DBM not very long ago but has made a big impact on the working relationship. She always has an amazing demeanour and rapport with us, she is so very suited for this position. Thank you, Vanessa, for being such a professional and I also note how hands-on you are.

  • “ DBM Attorneys always delivers professional service. ”

    Lungile Mgobhozi - HR Manager (Lanxess CISA)

  • “

    In my entire career,  I have never seen such speed and professionalism when receiving services. The efficiency of Lynette and the system that you are using at DBM is beyond comprehension, unbelievable!. 

    I was updated by Lynette and the system all the way. Never, even once, where I had to call your office to find out about the status of my stand. I reside and work in Pretoria, I felt this process was going to take long, but Lynette made it look so easy, she's, professional, solution driven and committed (I think I need her in my office in Pretoria she's got excellent work ethics).

    This whole deal was made without me coming down to your office in Newcastle, can you believe it!!! for some reasons I ended up trusting the whole process because Lynette knows her story and she very eloquent when explaining I ended up taking the risk and it worked. It is believable that DBM Attorneys are so technologically advanced in its business dealings... within 4 weeks my stand is registered under my name wow!!! that 360 degrees service turn deserves a big THANK YOU to Lezea, Alisa and Lynette.

    Ek wil net graag van die geleentheid gebruik maak om Prishila Ramsangar en Sonja Slabbert te bedank op die ongelooflike puik diens wat ons ontvang het op ons eerste huiskoop. Hulle het die registrasie en transaksie van ons verband baie professioneel hanteer en ons op n daaglikse basis terugvoering gegee.

    Iets wat vir ons n stresvolle situasie moes wees, was alles behalwe, die diens wat ons ontvang het was bo ons verwagtinge en dit was absoluut n groot voorreg om met DBM, Prishila en Sonja te kon deel.

     

    Ek sal verseker DBM aanbeveel vir al ons vriende, familie en kolegas en het hopelik eendag weer die voorreg om met julle te werk.

     

    Baie baie dankie DBM vir al julle hulp, ons het uiteindelike ons droom huis en dit sou nie moontlik wees sonder die spoedige diens wat ons ontvang het van Prishila en Sonja nie. Ek wens julle alles van die beste toe vir die toekoms!

    We particularly gained valuable information from the session by FNB which gave us a glimpse of the current market trends. We also enjoyed the presentation from OOBA. 

     We are so grateful for the investment that DBM has made to estate agents in the Newcastle Area. We have continuously learnt and been trained in crucial aspects of this industry. 

     We are so thankful for you and the team for this. May 2020 see a continuation of this relationship.
