28 Apr 2025 Qian DuoDuo LimitedQian DuoDuo: 1,125,000 NZD – transfers of over 19 million NZD not reported New ZealandSuspicious activity reports €589,190

Between June 2018 and September 2019 the Auckland money remitter and foreign exchange provider (trading as Lidong Foreign Exchange) failed to report 197 transfers to China totalling more than 19.14 million NZD: 26 suspicious activities (4.72 million NZD) and 171 prescribed transactions (14.42 million NZD); it checked the source of funds of the two individuals through whom the transactions were conducted only on the basis of questionable documents. On 28 April 2025 the Auckland District Court imposed a fine of 1,125,000 NZD. The company has appealed the decision. The decision is not final.

What organisations can take from it

Suspicious activity reports and prescribed transaction reports are subject to deadlines – failing to verify the source of funds robustly risks penalties running into millions.
