AML & Compliance Policy
Last updated 23 August 2026
1. Purpose
This policy outlines how we deter money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and related financial crime across account opening, deposits, withdrawals, and ongoing monitoring.
2. Client due diligence (KYC)
Before full settlement privileges are enabled, clients may be asked to provide government ID, proof of address, source-of-funds context, and other information proportionate to risk. Enhanced due diligence applies where risk indicators warrant.
3. Settlement controls
- Official deposit addresses published only inside signed-in Deposit
- Deposits and withdrawals held pending until desk approval
- USDT and BTC treated as settlement rails for verified accounts
- Unusual patterns may trigger holds, requests for information, or refusal
4. Monitoring & escalation
The desk reviews transaction patterns against expected activity. Suspicious behaviour may be escalated internally and, where required by law, reported to competent authorities. We may freeze or close accounts without prior notice when necessary to manage crime risk.
5. Sanctions & prohibited jurisdictions
We do not knowingly onboard or settle for parties subject to applicable sanctions programmes or jurisdictions we designate as prohibited. Clients must not use the desk to circumvent sanctions.
6. Record-keeping
KYC, transaction, and review records are retained for compliance and audit purposes consistent with institutional standards and applicable retention expectations.
