USA PATRIOT ACT ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING NOTICE
Under the U.S. Patriot Act, we are required to establish and maintain an anti-money laundering program containing policies and procedures to know our customers. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who establishes a relationship with the Firm. What this means for you: When you establish a relationship with the Firm, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
FINRA Rule 4370
Business Continuity Plan Disclosure “BCP”
- In the event an SBD of any type which affects our primary office in New York, we will transfer our business operations to one or more remote sites in the United States.
- We do not anticipate that power outages at our primary office will require us to shut down our business.
No contingency plan can eliminate all risk of service interruption or temporarily impaired access to ClearList. We will evaluate and revise our BCP to address risks to the extent possible. In developing our BCP, we have made certain assumptions regarding accessibility and availability of alternative facilities, the ability of a sufficient number of our personnel to man our systems, and external organizations including securities markets and government agencies being operational. If these assumptions are not valid under particular circumstances, we will evaluate possibilities for minimizing the disruption to services as feasible at that time.
We will update the BCP as needed in the event of changes to our business processes, technology and staff. We will continue to post updated information on our website. Users may also obtain our current BCP summary by submitting a written request to:

Subject Line: Business Continuity Plan
Disclaimer
ClearList’s comprehensive business continuity strategy is designed to enable us to meet our existing obligations to our customers even in the event of an emergency or significant business disruption; however it is not without limits. The BCP is designed to work in many different emergency situations, but these events are, by their nature, unpredictable and it is impossible to anticipate every scenario that could cause a business disruption.
Although we are confident in our own preparedness, ClearList has no control over the various entities that we must rely upon in the event of an emergency. Our BCP is tested periodically to ensure readiness. However, such tests may not be able to replicate the actual conditions we experience in a real emergency.
This BCP disclosure statement is subject to change without notice. In the event that the BCP or the BCP disclosure statement is modified, the updated document will be promptly posted on the ClearList internet website. Alternatively, clients of ClearList may obtain an updated hard copy of the BCP disclosure statement upon request. The information contained in this BCP disclosure statement is provided by ClearList for informational purposes only. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify any of the terms and conditions set forth in any client agreement between you and ClearList.
