Hong Kong Customs issues KYC and record keeping violations 32.8 10,000 HKD fine

Hong Kong Customs fines licensed MSO HK$328,000 for KYC and record keeping violations

2025年11月7日香港海关公布了一宗针对持牌金钱服务经营者(MSO)的重大判决一间持牌机构因违反 KYC备存纪录规定并提交虚假文件被判罚款 32.8 万港元这不仅是同类案件中有纪录以来的最高金额更揭示了海关在合规视察中“向后追溯穿透底核”的执法新常态

one、 案件复盘海关视察中的“四宗罪”

通过对判决书的深度拆解我们可以看到海关在合规视察(Compliance Inspection)中精准锁定了该机构的系统性溃败

  1. 实益拥有人(UBO)识别真空 机构仅记录了直接交易人的信息未能核实背后的真实受益人。exist 2026 年的监管语境下无法穿透识别 UBO 将直接被定义为洗钱高风险行为
  2. 备存纪录严重缺失 汇款交易没有收款人资料导致资金链路断裂这是反洗钱审计(AML Audit)中最不可原谅的技术性失误
  3. 持续监察流于形式 机构未能对汇款人进行动态风险监控导致在长达半年的时间内异常交易在内控系统下“全线绿灯”
  4. 诚信红线触碰(核心加重情节) 在接受调查期间该机构向海关提供了虚假或具误导性的文件这使得该案件的性质从“行政疏忽”直接跨越到了“刑事误导”

two、 港信通实务洞察为何 2026 年“形式合规”已死?

很多 MSO 持牌机构习惯于购买廉价的“合规模板”但在实际执法面前这些纸面文件往往不堪一击

  • 海关视察具有“溯及力” 本案的违规行为发生在 2022 Year,但处罚在 2025 年落地这意味着即便你现在补齐了资料海关依然有权追溯你过往三年的所有历史欠账
  • 严禁“凭空造证” 许多机构在接到视察通知后紧急补录资料本案证明海关的审计手段足以识别虚假文件一旦被定为“具误导性陈述”不仅是罚款更有最高 2 年的监禁风险
  • 处罚对银行开户的“毁灭性影响” 一旦 MSO 机构被录入海关的纪律处分名单其现有的银行清结算通道极大概率会被立即关闭且该机构的董事在未来申请任何金融牌照时都会面临信用清零

three、 港信通服务如何为您构建“防弹级”的合规体系?

2. 定制化 AML/CFT 制度设计
