2. What is AML policy?

AML Policy is the procedure to prohibit and actively prevent money laundering and any activity that facilitates money laundering or the funding of terrorist or criminal activities by complying with all applicable requirements. KYC measures are part of the AML Policy. The objective of KYC measures is to enable businesses to know and understand their customers better and help them manage their risks. Our AML policies, procedures and internal controls are designed to ensure compliance with all applicable European and International regulations and will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis to ensure appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls are in place to account for both changes in regulations and changes in our business.

In case of any potentially suspicious or unusual transactions or customer’s behaviour we undertake appropriate measures to address the risks. All staff handling transactions may ask for additional documents such as proof of source of fund etc., as deemed appropriate.

We keep a well-organised procedure of maintaining all records, including customer’s identification documents and related data. All customer and transactional information is stored confidentially and according to personal data protection laws.
