Anti Money Laundering

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

Last updated: 01/03/2026

At The S Collection, trust, integrity and responsible business practices are fundamental to the relationships we build and the experiences we arrange.

We recognise the importance of preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other unlawful activities within international business transactions.

The S Collection is committed to conducting its activities responsibly and cooperating with relevant professional partners to support compliance with applicable laws and internationally recognised financial integrity standards.


1. Company Information

The S Collection provides access to selected yachts, villas, chalets, private aviation, private islands and international events through a network of trusted owners, operators, brokers and specialists.

Our role is to understand individual requirements, identify suitable opportunities and coordinate arrangements with the relevant service providers.


2. Legal and Regulatory Framework

The S Collection operates in accordance with applicable French law and relevant European regulations, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements where they apply to our activities.

Given the international nature of our services, we recognise the importance of responsible financial conduct across the jurisdictions in which our clients and partners operate.

Our approach is informed by principles reflected in the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international body responsible for establishing standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

Regulatory requirements may differ depending on the nature of a service, the countries involved and the responsibilities of the relevant operators or intermediaries.

The S Collection respects the independent compliance obligations of its professional partners and cooperates with appropriate verification procedures where necessary.


3. Zero Tolerance for Illicit Activity

The S Collection does not knowingly participate in, facilitate or support activities associated with financial crime.

This includes:

  • Money laundering

  • Terrorist financing

  • Corruption or fraud

  • Sanctions evasion

  • Transactions involving unlawfully obtained funds

  • Other forms of financial misconduct

We reserve the right to decline an enquiry, suspend an arrangement or discontinue a business relationship where legitimate concerns arise regarding the nature of a transaction or the individuals involved, subject to applicable law and contractual obligations.

Our priority is to maintain relationships built on trust, transparency and responsible conduct.


4. Client Due Diligence

Depending on the nature, value and circumstances of a requested service, The S Collection may request information necessary to establish the identity of a client and support the legitimacy of an arrangement.

Where appropriate, this may include:

  • Verification of identity

  • Confirmation of the individual or entity responsible for a booking

  • Identification of beneficial ownership where relevant

  • Information concerning the intended nature of a transaction

  • General information regarding the source of funds, where justified

  • Additional documentation requested by relevant professional partners

The extent of any verification will depend on the circumstances of the arrangement and applicable legal or contractual requirements.

Certain operators and service providers may conduct their own independent verification before confirming a booking or transaction.

We aim to make these processes clear, proportionate and respectful of client confidentiality.


5. Cooperation With Professional Partners

The S Collection works through an international network of established service providers and specialists.

Depending on the arrangement, these may include:

  • Yacht charter brokers, owners and management companies

  • Villa and chalet owners or property management companies

  • Private aviation brokers and licensed aircraft operators

  • Event organisers and hospitality providers

  • Financial institutions and payment service providers

  • Legal and compliance professionals

These organisations may operate under their own regulatory frameworks and may be required to conduct additional Know Your Customer (KYC), identity verification or anti-money laundering checks.

Clients may therefore be asked to provide appropriate documentation directly to the relevant provider.

The S Collection seeks to work constructively with its partners while respecting each party’s independent legal and professional responsibilities.


6. Risk Awareness and Responsible Transactions

The S Collection recognises that international transactions can involve different legal requirements, financial arrangements and levels of risk.

Where reasonable concerns arise, we may:

  • Request additional information or supporting documentation

  • Seek clarification from the relevant client or service provider

  • Refer compliance-related questions to qualified professionals

  • Delay or suspend an arrangement while concerns are addressed

  • Decline to proceed where the circumstances justify doing so

Any measures taken will be proportionate to the nature of the arrangement and the applicable requirements.

Our approach is intended to support responsible decision-making and protect the integrity of our business relationships.


7. Confidentiality and Data Protection

Discretion is central to The S Collection.

Personal information provided in connection with identity verification, due diligence or other compliance-related activities will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation, including the GDPR.

Such information will be processed only where an appropriate lawful basis exists and retained in accordance with applicable retention requirements.

Where information must be shared with a professional partner for verification or compliance purposes, we seek to limit disclosure to what is reasonably necessary.

For further details, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact s@the-s-collection.com.


8. Ethical Business Practices

The S Collection believes that exceptional service begins with professional integrity.

We aim to conduct our activities with honesty, discretion and respect for the legal and regulatory responsibilities involved in international transactions.

Our approach to responsible business conduct is guided by clear communication, careful selection of professional partners and an awareness of the requirements applicable to each arrangement.

As our services and international relationships evolve, we seek to keep our practices aligned with relevant legal developments and recognised standards of professional conduct.
