In what circumstances a face-to-face identification of me and my id documents would be required, when could it be exempt, and when could it be performed on-line?
A face-to-face identification was recently required under the prevailing Israeli law, for a customer who wants to convert or send the equivalent of more than 50,000 Shekels within any 6-month period.
Possibly a face-to-face identification of an Israeli person or entity, may be exempt, if it would ask to transfer the proceeding related to its transaction, exactly to the same bank account in Israel, which money initially came from.
Also, some regulatory requirements may be mitigated, in a request to transfer such monies, to a second bank account in an OECD country, which such person or entity solely owns.
A substitute in the form of online identification, for a client related to Israel, may be allowed given certain conditions are met. You may read more about such possibility of online identification, by clicking here.
