Credit File Query

I recently got my credit report from Equifax, and was a little concerned by some of the credit searches listed.

There are 3 seperate searches on 3 different dates listed from COMPANY: HALIFAX BRANDED SAVINGS with a search type listed as "Money Laundering".

As you can probably imagine, this has got me a little concerned!!!

Are these standard, on everyone's credit report? Are they random checks? Is someone fraudulently using my identity?

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be very grateful!!!

    I think it is standard practice for when large sums of money are transferred.
