Anti Money Laundering Policy
​
Money laundering involves concealing the origin of funds and/or the identity of parties transferring or receiving them. There are many reasons why attempts at money laundering are made, most typically when the funds involved were gained unlawfully or for tax evasion purposes.
We strongly oppose money laundering and take extensive measures designed to ensure that our services are used by legitimate traders only.
​
Exposing, Preventing and Taking Legal Action
Our anti money laundering policy and all its practical implications are aimed at combating money laundering by working to expose any such attempt, preventing its completion and taking legal action against the parties involved in said attempt. As elaborated on further down, we make certain to allocate adequate resources so that no money laundering attempt can ever go unnoticed.

Compliance With International Law
International law requires any commercial body involved financial transactions in which funds are transferred across borders to avoid being party to money laundering and to report any such attempt to relevant authorities. Our compliance with such international law provisions is complete.

We make it impossible to use our services with a dubious bank account and refrain from processing money transfer requests when the path of funds is unclear.
​
Funds Deposited Into Trading Accounts
We ensure that funds deposited into trading accounts are legitimately gotten ones. In order to do so, we've implemented a system designed to ensure the credibility of deposits from third parties (anyone other than the individual trader registered as the trading account holder).
Records of third party deposits are kept on file. This is true for deposits made by individuals as well as ones made by corporations or any other legal entity.
Trading accounts may belong to corporations (LLCs included) which can supply all documentation required, designed to ensure legitimacy, such as the certificate of incorporation, article of incorporation, proof of address, shareholder's certificate or any other document we request, all at our sole discretion.
​
Withdrawals From Trading Accounts
In order to prevent money laundering, we only process withdrawal orders when the identity of the recipient is identical to that of the account holder. Whether withdrawals are made by wire transfer or through the use of any digital money transfer means, web-based E-wallets included, the identity of the sender must coincide with that of the recipient.
​
