At WEMX, we are committed to maintaining a secure and compliant trading environment. Our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies are integral parts of our efforts to prevent illicit activities, protect our users, and comply with international regulatory standards. This page outlines our AML and KYC procedures and requirements.
Our AML and KYC policies are designed to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. By verifying the identity of our users and monitoring transactions, we aim to ensure the integrity of our platform and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
1.1 AML Objectives: Prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing activities by adhering to the relevant regulations and best practices.
1.2 KYC Objectives: Confirm the identity of users to ensure that they are not involved in illegal activities and to protect against identity theft and fraud.
To comply with AML and KYC requirements, WEMX has established the following procedures:
2.1 User Verification: All users must complete a verification process before they can access trading functionalities. This process includes the submission of identification documents and proof of address.
2.2 Documentation Requirements: Users are required to provide valid identification documents such as a passport, driver’s license, or national ID card, and proof of address documents such as utility bills or bank statements.
2.3 Risk-Based Approach: Our AML and KYC procedures are based on a risk assessment approach. Higher-risk users may be subject to additional verification procedures and enhanced due diligence.
The verification process involves several steps to ensure that the user’s identity is authentic and that they meet our requirements:
3.1 Initial Registration: Users must complete the initial registration process, which includes providing personal information and submitting preliminary documents.
3.2 Document Review: Submitted documents are reviewed by our compliance team to verify their authenticity. Users may be requested to provide additional documents if necessary.
3.3 Verification Confirmation: Once the review is complete, users will receive a confirmation of their verification status. Verified users can proceed with trading activities.
To ensure continued compliance with AML and KYC regulations, WEMX conducts ongoing monitoring of transactions and user activities.
4.1 Transaction Monitoring: We monitor transactions for unusual or suspicious activity that may indicate money laundering or other illegal activities.
4.2 Reporting Suspicious Activities: Any suspicious activities identified during monitoring will be reported to relevant authorities as required by law.
4.3 Periodic Reviews: We conduct periodic reviews of user accounts and transactions to ensure continued compliance with our AML and KYC policies.
WEMX is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users' personal information. All data collected during the AML and KYC processes is handled with the utmost care and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
5.1 Data Security: We employ robust security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
5.2 Data Retention: Personal information and documentation are retained for the period required by law and in accordance with our data retention policy.
