The Company runs a money laundering deterring policy. Its goals are:
- Making sure that the client has a valid identity document;
- Keeping a register of identifying information;
- Establishing if clients are not known terrorists or are not suspected of terrorist connections by checking personal data on adequate lists;
- Establishing if clients are not known terrorists or are not suspected of terrorist connections by checking personal data on adequate lists;
- Close monitoring of clients’ transactions;
- Not accepting cash payments, postal orders, transactions carried out through third party entities, currency exchanges or Western Union transfers.
International prevention of money laundering requires financial institutions to be aware of potential attempts of such actions and abuse that may occur on clients’ accounts and introduce compatibility programs the purpose of which is deterring, exposing and reporting suspicious activity.
The above guidelines have been implemented in order to protect the Website and its clients.
