Anti-Money Laundering Policy

Money laundering is generally defined as engaging in acts designed to conceal or disguise the true origins of criminally derived proceeds so that the proceeds appear to have derived from legitimate origins or constitute legitimate assets. Generally, money laundering occurs in three stages. 

  • Placement. Cash first enters the financial system at the “placement” stage, where the cash generated from criminal activities is converted into monetary instruments, such as money orders or traveler’s checks, or deposited into accounts at financial institutions. 
  • Layering. At the “layering” stage, the funds are transferred or moved into other accounts or other financial institutions to further separate the money from its criminal origin. 
  • Integration. At the “integration” stage, the funds are reintroduced into the economy and used to purchase legitimate assets or to fund other criminal activities or legitimate businesses.

Deposit and withdrawal requirements

All customer transactions involving deposits and withdrawals from their personal trading account must adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. The name specified during the customer’s account registration must match the name of the bank account or plastic card owner for all bank wire or plastic card transfers.
  2. If an unacceptable payment method is used for funding the account, the money will be withdrawn to the customer’s bank account or via another agreed-upon method that allows for the reliable identification of the account owner.
  3. If an account is funded using multiple payment methods, the withdrawals will be made proportionately by the same methods used for deposit.for example you deposited $100 via Skrill and $50 via Credit Card. Requesting a Skrill withdrawal of $120, you will get $100 to Skrill and $20 to the card.
  4. In the case of funding an account with cryptocurrency, the company may only allow withdrawals to the same crypto wallet used for the deposit. If the account was funded via a crypto exchange wallet such as Binance, a screenshot of the transaction/transaction hash including the personal wallet address and QR code may be required.
