My Bank Is Asking Too Many Questions: How to Prepare Source-of-Funds Documents Before It Becomes a Problem

Index

Introduction

When banks ask repeated questions, the problem is often not that the client has done something wrong. The problem is that the file is not yet easy to understand.

What a better response looks like

A better response usually includes:

  • a concise narrative
  • supporting documents arranged by event and timeline
  • consistency between personal, company, and transaction records

How to prepare before pressure builds

The smartest time to build the file is before:

  • property closing
  • account opening
  • major transfer activity

Common mistakes

Common mistakes include:

  • sending raw statements without explanation
  • changing the story between institutions
  • waiting until the deal is urgent before organising the file
