e-platform for suspicious transaction report

In order to enhance the capacity in suspicious transaction report (“STR”) processing and shorten the time required for STR reporting entities to receive feedback from Joint Financial Intelligence Unit (“JFIU”) after submission of an STR, “e-STR Submission”, a new solution for STR reporting entities to make disclosure by electronic means in a faster and more secured manner has been rolled out in August 2018. Click here to visit the e-platform.

Unlike the existing way to submit STR through software “S-box”, the new solution does not require the installation (and subsequent maintenance) of software but the followings only:
1) Web browser (Chrome and Firefox are recommended);
2) Latest version Adobe Acrobat Reader; &
3) Ecert from Hongkong Post;

By using the new e-STR submission solution, reporting entities would also be given other supporting functions, such as retrieval of previous STRs as well as real-time checking of the feedback from JFIU.

Please click here to apply for secure area login and password for e-STR submission, and send it to JFIU by fax (No. 2529 4013), e-mail (jfiu@police.gov.hk) or post (GPO Box 6555 Hong Kong). Officers of JFIU will contact the reporting institution upon receipt of the registration form and provide the latest version of proforma for reporting STR and other relevant documents.
