HPP is pleased to have contributed the Finnish chapter of the European Banking Guide, a global pro bono project Guide launched by ECNL (European Center for Not-for-Profit law) and PILnet, which connects civil society organisations with pro bono lawyers.
The Guide helps organisations expanding their activities to other countries, by providing information for the different countries covered by the Guide, concerning issues to be taken into account when an organisation wishes to open a bank account, as well as other banking activities, such as customer due diligence requirements, and the monitoring criteria for suspicious transactions as well as obligations and reporting requirements related to such bank accounts.
HPP welcomes the opportunity to contribute to these kinds of projects which align with our core values of trust, equality and partnership. If you would like to propose a future pro bono project for HPP to consider getting involved in, please send an e-mail to andrew.cotton@hpp.fi.
