In all cases not specified in this policy, Company follows the guidelines set by Directive (EU) No 2015/849, Directive (EU) No 2018/843, as well as the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act of 26.10.2017. Any breaches of our procedures relating to the prevention of money laundering and the combating of terrorist financing will be dealt with severely and may be treated as gross misconduct. This abstract of the Company's Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (hereinafter “KYC & AML”) policy describes shortly the applicable customer due diligence measures and other related procedures.
As a fundamental principle deriving from the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act, all Estonian VASPs are required to apply for a license and to identify each and every customer before providing any services irrespective of the value of the first transaction.
Consequently, the Company shall apply at least the following due diligence measures to ALL the customers:
The application of the above measures may take various forms and be applied at different times. For example, a customer may be asked to provide a passport copy and a selfie first and a utility bill later to verify its identity. Customer may be asked about planned transactions frequency and expected amounts per month to understand the nature of the client relationship. Company shall determine customer´s PEP status and shall carry out sanctions checks from time to time by asking the customer or by using an automated recurring solution. Last but not least, the Company applies continuous monitoring over customer's information and all the transactions to discover any inconsistencies, suspicions or fraud. You understand and agree that submission of this data will not guarantee the establishment of the relationship and further provision of Services to You by ATAIX.
The Company is required to determine the risks associated with each customer. The level of risk is assessed by identification and analysis of different risk factors (e.g. country of residence, quality of submitted information, pattern of transactions, answers to inquiries). If a customer's risk is high, the Company shall not establish a business relationship with a new customer or it shall not provide the relevant service to an existing customer, as applicable, until the risk has been mitigated to a reasonable level. The Company applies enhanced due diligence measures for that purpose. If a customer's risk remains high even after the application of enhanced due diligence measures, a new customer will not be on-boarded or an existing customer will be off-boarded, as applicable.
The Company may apply the following enhanced due diligence measures to the customer with a high-risk factor:
The information provided by the customer must be correct and up-to-date at all times. The Company has the right to request additional information and/or updated documents from the customer at any time. If the customer refuses to provide the relevant information or documents for any reason, the Company is obliged to refuse on-boarding a new customer or to off-board an existing customer, as applicable.
The Company is required to report to the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) about suspicious transactions and customers, including customers that refuse to submit comprehensive information during an on-boarding process. Please note that the Company is strictly prohibited by the law to provide any information to the customers with respect to such reports.
The Company registers and retains the data of all potential, current and old customers and their transactions for at least five years, in correspondence with the Company's Privacy Policy and the Estonian Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act.
