This KYC policy applies to all customer relationships with transactions valuing over $10,000 USD.
For investors looking to transfer more than $10,000 USD it will be necessary to verify your account by sending us a scan of an official document which includes a photograph, identity, residential address and date of birth. Data will be kept for a minimum of five years from the transaction date.
KYC is an ongoing, risk‐based process to gather relevant information about our customers and their business and financial activities in order to:
When establishing a relationship with a customer we will confirm the identity of a person or the existence of an entity within acceptable time frames using acceptable identification methods. When a product or service is being established, inquiries will be made to determine whether it will be used by or for the benefit of a third party. Where required, particulars of the third party and their relationship with the customer will be obtained prior to establishing the relationship.
We are obliged to report to the regulatory authorities suspicious transactions which could possibly be connected to money laundering activities.
We will take reasonable and appropriate measures to verify the key information provided by prospective customers to reliable independent sources. We will perform additional verification activities for relationships that represent a higher level of risk. We will refuse to enter into or continue relationships or conduct transactions with any person or entity that insists on anonymity or provides false, inconsistent or conflicting information where the inconsistency or conflict cannot be resolved after reasonable inquiry.
We will monitor customer activity to identify and report transactions that may be indicative of illegal or improper activity. We will keep information regarding the customer and their business and financial activities as accurate, complete and up‐to‐date as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. When changes in a customer's financial behavior become apparent, we will take steps to determine the underlying reasons.
