Working with Financial Sanctions in Bermuda: A Concise Guide

Understanding the Consolidated List

The consolidated list is a valuable resource for identifying designated persons and entities subject to financial sanctions. It contains crucial information such as:

• Full name
• Aliases
• Date of birth
• Nationality
• Employment information

Note: A “name match” does not necessarily mean that an individual or entity is the same; it only indicates a match in names.

Getting Updates

To stay up-to-date with changes to financial sanctions, refer to the following resources:

• OFSI Publications: Visit GOV.UK for Notices describing changes to financial sanctions: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/financial-sanctions-regime-specific-consolidated-lists-and-releases
• Email Updates: Subscribe to receive email notifications whenever a new Notice is published.
• FSIU Notifications: The FSIU sends email notifications to Supervisory Authorities with relevant update information.

Restrictions and Prohibitions

Financial sanctions apply to specific activities, including:

• Making funds or assets available for the benefit of designated persons or entities
• Referring to the up-to-date version of the legislation imposing financial sanctions to understand what is prohibited

Asset Freeze

An asset freeze prohibits dealing with frozen funds or economic resources belonging to or owned by a designated person. If you have reason to believe you are in possession or control of frozen funds, follow these steps:

• Freeze the Funds: Do not deal with them or make them available to the designated persons unless an exemption applies.
• Obtain a License (if necessary): You may need to obtain a license from the FSIU before dealing with the funds.
• Report to the FSIU: Inform the FSIU about the frozen funds.
