An HVD is anyone who is prepared to make or receive high value payments.

HVDs can be a wholesaler or retailer accepting cash payments for goods or can be accepting cash payments on behalf of another person, for example auctioneers, art dealers and similar entities. In reality an HVD could be anybody who is in the business of selling goods.
