Security

At BP Bernstein we take your security very seriously, and our employees are trained in IT security and cybercrime awareness, we have implemented additional measures for account verification to protect your interest. While these measures might seem inconvenient at times, they are crucial to ensure we are dealing with the right person and processing transactions securely. According to the Hawks’ third- quarter 2023/2024 crime report, fraud has led to the highest number of convictions. Therefore, we want to emphasise the importance of being vigilant against fraud risks, and we thus recommend the following:

Keep your passwords and login details private.

Be cautious of emails that seem suspicious, verify sender information, look out for spelling errors.

Trust your instincts, if something seems off, contact us to verify its legitimacy.

Keep your security software updated to reduce the risk of accounts being hacked.

 

3rd Party Transfers

As a financial institution, and to assist with the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing, B P Bernstein have undertaken to assist by building a stronger, more ethical financial services industry.

Therefore, B P Bernstein will not be making any third-party pay-outs going forward, nor will we do internal transfers between client accounts that are not in your own name, as this constitutes a third party pay -out.

Furthermore, we will NOT accept any funds from an account which is not in your own name. Any transfers received into your Brokerage account must be paid out of the bank account on file or from a bank account in the name of the account holder.

Any funds received from an account other than in the name of the account holder is considered a 3rd party transfer, and B P Bernstein will be required to follow certain regulatory procedures.

Examples of third-party deposits that are NOT allowed:

A deposit from a founder, trustee, or beneficiary of the trust

A deposit from a company is made to a B P Bernstein account holder, regardless of whether the account holder is a director or shareholder of the company.

A deposit from a family member, including spouses.

 

Your cooperation in this regard is appreciated.
