1.1. One of the international standards for preventing illegal activity is Customer due diligence (“CDD”). According to CDD, the Company establishes its own verification procedures within the standards of anti-money laundering and “Know Your Customer” frameworks, including enhanced due diligence for Customers presenting a higher risk, such as: (i) Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs); (ii) the Customer is from a high-risk third country; or (iii) the Customer is from the territory that is considered a low tax rate territory.

1.2. The Company's identity verification procedure requires the Customer to provide the Company with reliable, independent source documents, data or information (e.g., national ID, international passport, bank statement, utility bill, source of funds, etc.) or in case of legal entities the data and corporate documents showing the ultimate beneficial owner of such legal entity upon the Company's request.
For the AML/KYC purposes the Company reserves the right to collect Customer’s identification information.

1.3. The Company will take steps to confirm the authenticity of documents and information provided by the Customers. All legal methods for double-checking identification information will be used and the Company reserves the right to investigate certain Customers who have been determined to be risky or suspicious.

1.4. The Company reserves the right to verify Customer’s identity on an on-going basis, especially when their identification information has been changed or their activity seemed to be suspicious (unusual for the particular Customer). In addition, we reserve the right to request up-to-date documents from the Customers, even though they have passed identity verification in the past.

1.5. Customer’s identification information will be collected, stored, shared and protected strictly in accordance with the Company's Privacy Policy and related regulations.

1.6. Once the Customer’s identity has been verified, the Company is able to remove itself from potential legal liability in a situation where its services are used to conduct illegal activity.

1.7. The Company is prohibited from transacting with individuals, companies and countries that are on prescribed sanctions lists. The Company will therefore screen against United Nations, European Union, UK Treasury and US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions lists in all jurisdictions in which we operate.

1.8. The Company may always contact the Customer to clarify the information given or ask for additional information which is needed for the Customer identification, or to address the risks of the case.

1.9. In case the Customers doesn’t wish to disclose their identity for certain reasons and refuses to provide the documents, the KYC/AML procedure is considered failed and the deposited funds are then refunded to the address (or addresses) the deposit was made from, subtracting the network fees, within 24 hours. Then, Company reserves the right to blacklist this address (or addresses), thus rendering it (or them) non-eligible for making deposits on the service.

2.1.Customers are known not only by verifying their identity (who they are) but, more importantly, by analyzing their transactional patterns (what they do). Therefore, the Company relies on data analysis as a risk-assessment and suspicion detection tool. The Company performs a variety of compliance-related tasks, including capturing data, filtering, record-keeping, investigation management, and reporting. System functionalities include:

• (i) Daily check of Customers against recognized “black lists” (e.g. OFAC), aggregating transfers by multiple data points, placing Customers on watch and service denial lists, opening cases for investigation where needed, sending internal communications and filling out statutory reports, if applicable;
• (ii) Case and document management.

With regard to the AML/KYC Policy, the Company will monitor all transactions and it reserves the right to:

• Ensure that transactions of suspicious nature are reported to the proper law enforcement through the Compliance Officer;
• Request the Customer to provide any additional information and documents in case of suspicious transactions;
• Suspend or terminate Customer’s Account when the Company has reasonable suspicion that such Customer engaged in illegal activity.

The above list is not exhaustive and the Compliance Officer will monitor Customers' transactions on a day-to-day basis in order to define whether such transactions are to be reported and treated as suspicious or are to be treated as bona fide.

3.1. The Company analyzing Customers and their behavior may undertake investigative efforts that are proportional to the risk and complexity of the case and collect evidence using observations gathered in the case.

3.2. If we identify any additional risks, we will need to conduct investigative research to understand these risks in the context of the case, and the additional documents may be required to support the review.
