Anti-Money Laundering Policy

📋1. Introduction

BinaryFX Tournaments ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy establishes the framework for our compliance program.

Our AML program includes:

• Customer due diligence and identity verification
• Continuous transaction monitoring
• Suspicious activity reporting
• Sanctions screening and compliance
• Regular independent audits

🪪2. Know Your Customer (KYC)

We implement robust customer identification and verification procedures in accordance with regulatory requirements.

2.1 Verification Levels

Based on risk assessment, we may apply different verification levels:

• Basic: Email and password registration, limited functionality
• Standard: ID verification required, full trading access
• Enhanced: Additional documentation and source of funds declaration for high-value accounts

2.2 Ongoing Due Diligence

We regularly review customer information and may request updated documentation periodically or upon certain triggers such as significant changes in account activity.

📊3. Transaction Monitoring

All transactions on the BinaryFX platform are monitored for suspicious activity using automated systems and manual review.

3.1 Red Flags We Monitor

• Unusual transaction patterns not consistent with customer's profile
• Large or frequent transactions just below reporting thresholds
• Rapid movement of funds without clear trading rationale
• Transactions involving high-risk jurisdictions
• Multiple accounts sharing the same identification documents or IP addresses
• Inconsistent or contradictory information during verification

3.2 Automated Alerts

Our system generates alerts for transactions exceeding predefined thresholds or matching suspicious patterns. These alerts are reviewed by our compliance team within established timeframes.

🚨4. Reporting Suspicious Activity

When we identify transactions or activities that may be related to money laundering or terrorist financing, we are obligated to report them to the appropriate authorities.

4.1 Types of Reports

• Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR): Filed for transactions that don't meet the criteria for cash transactions but show suspicious patterns
• International Transportation Reports: Filed when applicable regulatory requirements are triggered

4.2 Tipping-Off Prohibition

By law, we are prohibited from informing customers that a report has been or may be filed with authorities. This is known as the "tipping-off" prohibition, and violation can result in criminal penalties.

4.3 Customer Impact

Filing a SAR does not automatically mean your account will be closed. However, it may result in enhanced monitoring, additional documentation requests, or temporary account restrictions while the matter is reviewed.

🌍5. Sanctions & Embargoes

BinaryFX complies fully with international sanctions and embargo programs administered by the UN, EU, US (OFAC), UK (OFCI), and other relevant authorities.

5.1 Prohibited Activities

• Providing services to individuals or entities on sanctions lists
• Processing transactions involving sanctioned countries or regions
• Facilitating transactions on behalf of sanctioned parties
• Attempting to circumvent sanctions screening through any means
