Acting with impartiality in all manners;

Using only legal and ethical means in all CFT activities, including conducting all financial transactions in a responsible manner;

Maintaining the confidentiality of privileged information entrusted or known to them by virtue of their association with CFT;

Refusing to engage in, or tolerate, activities for personal gain at the expense of CFT or the banking industry, and;
