Reason for registration
To comply with national laws and adhere to our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies, we must verify the identities and transactions of all our clients. This crucial step is vital in our collective efforts to prevent financial crimes.
Failure to complete the registration process with us will regrettably result in your inability to process payments, potentially causing challenges in meeting your contractual obligations.
Ground Lease
A ground lease, also known as a land lease (huurgrond), is a legal arrangement in which the landowner, referred to as the ‘lessor,’ leases the land to a tenant, known as the ‘lessee.’ This practice is common for business premises within the Dutch legal framework. However, in Curaçao, it’s also widely used for residential properties.
It’s crucial to note that under this agreement, the land and any permanent structures attached to it remain the private property of the landowner. Any sale, encumbrance of the property, or transfer of lease rights requires prior consent from the landowner. Furthermore, using the land for commercial or industrial purposes is not permitted unless the landowner grants explicit approval. These conditions are explicitly outlined and governed by the Terms of Lease.
