As enshrined in the Bank’s Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics (compliant, responsible, ethical, accurate, trustworthy, equitable), the Bank strictly prohibits any act of bribery and corruption regardless of its form, and requires all its employees to observe and apply the Bank’s core ethical values in their day-to-day operations and business affairs to protect the Bank’s reputation.

The following are the key ABCP standards that must be adhered to:

 

Giving and Accepting of Gifts & Hospitality

  • All employees must strictly adhere to the AmBank Group No Gift Policy. All relationships with customers and business associates must remain objective, fair, transparent and free from conflict.
  • The Bank prohibits employees from offering, soliciting or receiving any gifts or hospitality in any form, to or from current or potential customers, vendors, agents and business partners, either directly or indirectly which may influence the employee’s judgment in a decision making process or put the employee in a position of conflict.
  • All directors shall not give or accept gifts or hospitality in any form, to or from current or potential customers, vendors, agents and business partners, either directly or indirectly which may put the director in a position of conflict of interest, perceived or actual.

 

Dealing with Government Officials

Any giving or receiving directly or indirectly of, kickbacks or gratuities to/ from government officials is not allowed. Due care and diligence must be exercised at all times when dealing with government officials or associated persons.

 

Facilitation Payments

The Bank prohibits any form of offering, giving or accepting any form (either in cash or anything of value) of improper payments such as bribes or kickbacks in exchange for business favours, information and favourable treatment. The following (non-exhaustive) practices are prohibited:

  • Any request for cash payment or for payment to be diverted to a third party or country outside normal payment terms and processes.
  • Doing business with a potential customer with known history of engaging in corrupt acts particularly where the business sector is highly exposed to corrupt practices.
  • Payments to influence the award of contracts.
  • Payments to obtain confidential information about the activities of competitors.

 

Donations and sponsorships

The Bank does not allow its business to be used as a channel for money laundering, terrorist financing or other criminal activities. All employees must adhere to the Bank’s relevant Anti Money Laundering (AML), terrorist financing and proliferation financing related policies and regulations.

Any charitable donations and sponsorships including education scholarships must be subject to appropriate due diligence and screening processed as per the Bank’s AML/CFT and Know Your Customer policies.

As a matter of policy, donation and sponsorship to any political parties or politician by the Bank is not allowed.

 

Recruitment of employees

The Bank prohibits any form of employment opportunities, whether permanent or temporary in nature, that is used as an inducement to obtain or retain an advantage in business.

All candidates must be screened prior to hiring and ensure they have not been convicted in any bribery or corruption cases nationally or internationally.

For hiring, the due diligence should include background checks on the candidate, a document verification process and conducting interviews with the person. The Bank is to ensure the hiring policy is consistent with the BNM’s Policy Document of Employee Screening.

 

Business Associates Relationship

All employees are required to exercise due care and due diligence at all times when dealing with business associates and ensure their affairs do not involve any form of corrupt practices, perceived or actual.

All employees who are involved directly, or indirectly in procurement activities for equipment, supplies, goods and services must adhere to the AmBank Group Procurement Policy, AmBank Group Sourcing Guidelines and principles i.e. transparency, integrity, value for money, total cost of ownership and accountability.

All appointments of business associates must be subject to proper due diligence and screening according to the Bank’s AML/CFT and Know Your Customer Policies prior to on-boarding, and on-going monitoring throughout the lifecycle of the arrangement between the business associate and the Bank.

All business associates are required to comply with this Policy and provide an undertaking to comply with this Policy. The undertaking to comply with this Policy can be executed by the business associate through the following methods:

  • Agree to the attestation, or
  • Have the required clauses on Section 17A of the MACC Act included in the facility agreements, mandate letters, terms and conditions/ references or any other official documents as cleared by Group Legal.
    For any amendments to the attestation or negotiation on the required clauses to be included in the documentation, Group Legal must be consulted for consideration of risk assessment and practicality.
    Where required, as a matter to ensure adequate due diligence, the Business Owner is to obtain a copy of the business associate’s ABCP Policy to assess and ensure they have a process in place to comply with the relevant anti-corruption law.

 

Conflict of interest

The Bank expects its employees to act in a way that reflects our commitment to integrity and responsible business behavior. All employees must ensure that personal and business affairs do not conflict with or appear to be conflicting with the Bank’s interests.

Any potential conflict observed during day-to-day interactions at the Bank must immediately be reported to the employee’s respective supervisor.

 

Employee declaration

All employees must declare in writing that they have read, understood and will abide by this Policy. A copy of this declaration shall be documented and retained by the Human Resources Department for the duration of the employees’ employment.

The Bank reserves the right to request information regarding an employee’s assets in the event that the person is implicated or suspected to be implicated in any bribery and corruption-related accusation or incident.
