KYC/AML Policy

The primary purpose of our KYC/AML Policy is to prevent and mitigate risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activities. Additionally, it enables us to identify and verify the identity of our clients to establish a trusted and responsible business relationship.

The KYC/AML process helps us verify the identity of our users and ensure that they are who they claim to be. It also helps us comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) laws and regulations, which require financial institutions to verify the identity of their customers and report suspicious activity.

Cryptocurrencies have been used for money laundering and other illegal activities due to their anonymity and lack of regulations. It is important for us to implement an KYC/AML policy to prevent the use of our platform for such activities and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We may also collect other information as needed to verify the user's identity and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Before establishing a business relationship or conducting transactions, we perform thorough client identification and verification procedures. This process includes collecting and verifying information such as: Full legal name, Date of birth, Residential address, Government-issued identification (e.g., passport, national ID) Tax identification number (where applicable), Source of funds/income & Occupation and business details (for corporate clients).

We continuously monitor client activities and conduct ongoing due diligence to detect any unusual or suspicious behavior. This helps us assess the risk associated with each client and ensures compliance with KYC and AML regulations.

We assess the risk profile of each client based on various factors, including the nature of their business, country of residence, and the type of transactions they conduct. This risk-based approach allows us to apply enhanced due diligence measures where necessary.

For higher-risk clients or transactions, we may implement enhanced due diligence measures. This may include seeking additional documentation, conducting more frequent reviews, or requesting additional information to further verify the client's identity and the legitimacy of their activities.

If we encounter any transactions or activities that raise suspicion of money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal activities, we promptly report such activities to the appropriate authorities as required by law.

We treat all client information with the utmost confidentiality and comply with data protection and privacy laws. Client data is securely stored and accessed only by authorized personnel.

We designate a dedicated Compliance Officer responsible for overseeing the implementation of our KYC/AML Policy, ensuring adherence to relevant regulations, and staying updated on any changes in the regulatory landscape.

Our employees undergo regular training on KYC and AML policies and procedures to stay informed about best practices and emerging risks in the financial industry.

We reserve the right to update this KYC/AML Policy from time to time to reflect changes in regulations or best practices. Any updates will be posted on the Website, and the "Effective Date" at the top will reflect the most recent version.
