FATCA/AEOI

Communication: Customer obligations in the fight against tax evasion (FATCA / AEOI)
 

Like all banking institutions, UBAF is obliged to determine the tax status of its clients who have opened an account on its books, in accordance with INTERNATIONAL OECD standards ("AEOI") and regulations ("FATCA"). 
In order to meet its obligations, UBAF must, through a self-certification form, identify its customers:

• having been (i) created in the United States or under U.S. federal law or one of the U.S. federal states or (ii) created outside the United States but controlled by persons with an US  indicia (Birthplace in the United States; American nationality; Address of residence in the United States; Known address marked "Attention of" or "Remaining post"; Phone number in the United States; Procuration given to a natural person with an address in the United States; Permanent or regular transfer order to an account opened in the United States);
• having their tax residency in one or more countries that have joined the AEOI. 

Any change in circumstances must be immediately notified to the UBAF. at the customer's initiative, so that a new self-certification can be carried out within 30 days of the date of the change.

UBAF must report certain account information opened by its clients to the French tax authorities for transmission to the relevant tax authorities of the country in which (or in which) these clients have or are likely to have tax obligations. A client's refusal or lack of justification for his or her tax residence is likely to constitute a violation of the tax law that UBAF. is required to report to the tax authorities.

The UBAF complies with the AEOI and FATCA regulations. For accessing to the GII numbers of UBAF units, please click here.
