Regarding Law No. 5549 on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, e-commerce platforms have been made subject to "obliged party" status under Law No. 5549 on Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime, prepared by the Financial Crimes Investigation Board of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance. In this framework, in order to fulfil their obligations arising from this legislation, the said e-commerce platforms are obliged to obtain certain information and documents from businesses that are your members and operate on e-commerce platforms, and to verify this information.
In this context, it is important that businesses that will continue to operate on e-commerce platforms submit the information and documents requested by the e-commerce platforms completely and without delay. Otherwise, consequences may arise such as the interruption of the activities and payment flows of the relevant businesses on the platforms, as well as adverse effects on end consumers.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
