Our Commitment to Responsible Trading
Black Sheep Bullion operates with a strong focus on integrity, privacy, and compliance. As an Australian bullion dealer, we follow the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations that apply to the trading of precious metals.
Our goal is simple: offer a private, boutique service while meeting the standards required to ensure safe and lawful transactions.
Why AML Measures Matter
Precious metals can be misused for criminal activity if proper controls are not in place. By following AML guidelines, we help protect our clients, our business, and the broader financial system.
These measures support:
- Prevention of money laundering
- Prevention of terrorism financing
- Safe, traceable, and legitimate bullion transactions
What We Monitor
As part of our AML approach, we may take steps to identify:
- Unusual or inconsistent buying or selling behaviour
- Transactions that do not match known customer profiles
- Activity that raises reasonable suspicion under AU guidelines
- We reserve the right to pause or decline transactions that appear inconsistent with appropriate AML standards.
Customer Responsibilities
Clients may be required to:
- Provide accurate identification when requested
- Confirm the source of funds or assets when applicable
- Comply with verification procedures before transactions are finalised
- These measures help ensure all trading remains lawful and secure.
Confidentiality & Data Handling
Any information collected for AML purposes is handled with strict confidentiality and used solely to meet compliance obligations. We do not share client information except where required by Australian law.
