First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01Which bank, provider or exchange is holding the money?
  2. 02What reason, if any, has been given?
  3. 03Which countries does the money move through?
  4. 04What evidence of the transaction do you have?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Find where the payment is held and why.
  2. Step 2Assemble the evidence the bank or provider needs.
  3. Step 3Respond through the right channel, with counsel if needed.
  4. Step 4Set up routes and controls that avoid a repeat.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

  • Blocked banking corridorsPayment is lawful in one market but is rejected or held by intermediaries
  • Ultimate beneficial ownershipLayered ownership complicates identifying the persons behind a counterparty
  • Sanctions conflictsParties are subject to differing sanctions and licensing regimes
