Topic A
Reason for registration
Q: Why do you require identity and transaction verification?
A: We verify the identities and transactions of all our clients to comply with national laws and adhere to our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies. This essential process helps prevent financial crimes and ensures a secure, trustworthy environment for all users.
Q: What are the consequences if I fail to complete the registration process?
A: Failure to complete the registration process will result in an inability to process payments. This can create challenges in meeting your contractual obligations, so it’s important to finish the required verification promptly to maintain seamless transactions.
Topic B
What is ground lease?
Q: What is ground lease?
A: Ground lease, also known as a land lease or “huurgrond”, is a legal arrangement where a landowner (lessor) leases land to a tenant (lessee). This practice is common for business premises under Dutch law and is also widely used for residential properties in Curaçao.
Q: Who owns the property?
A: Under a ground lease, the land and any permanent structures remain the private property of the landowner. Any sale, encumbrance, or transfer of lease rights requires prior consent, and the land cannot be used for commercial or industrial purposes without explicit approval.
