It is not clear why you need Financial Services Officers. Isn't it easier to make direct transfers?
As we cater to a large community of art lovers, provision of high expediency of payment operations and possibility to offer instant transfers to our system have become our highest priority tasks. While ensuring these proactive services, we offer our customers strong competitive advantages in the context of flexibility and tailored response to the demand in the Art Industry and therefore possibility to fulfill their needs. Alternatively, direct money transfers inevitably incur certain delays; ex. an interbank transfer takes from 1 to 5 days, which is not admissible for our buyers and sellers associated in play, where fluctuations might happen very often. Therefore we prefer to use our Financial Services Officers network to open accounts with all major banks worldwide, while our customers transfer money by internal bank payments, which take from several minutes to 3 hours.
Is there any confirmation of the fact that money is transferred legally?
Yes, each money transfer includes an enclosed invoice certified by our company official seal and an authorized person's signature. These invoices will be distributed every 14 days during your Probationary Period and on daily basis once employed full-time. This document will reflect transactions covered with the provided funds as well as the amount of service payment. You will also find information about the fact that the provider, i.e. our Company, is fully responsible for money transfer.
What is the hiring process for this position? Do I need to come in for an Interview?
This is an on-line, home based position. There is no formal Interview process for this position and most of communication is done on-line; however, if we have any questions as to your application process, we will contact you by phone.
In determining whether you are a qualified candidate for this position we perform various criminal and state background checks. Mainly we look for any outstanding delinquencies that you might have with and for any criminal convictions. Both of these background checks help us to determine whether you are a qualified candidate.
Why do I have to use my personal account?
The reason you use your own account for this job is because the position is considered to be an Independent Contractor position, which requires Financial Services Officers to use their own account during their probationary period. Once employed Full-Time we would provide you with a bank account through our company.
Western Union and Money Grams questions and warnings!
To prevent any illegal transfers or any money laundering activities, we only deal with individuals who have provided all the necessary information about themselves and have signed an agreement with us.
This allows you to send the funds to various individuals that you might not personally know, while being assured that the individual has gone through background checks and is a safe recipient, even if necessary to indicate a transfer as a personal one.
These are basic ones. Please let me know asap is this a scam? I dont want to do anything illegal
