KYC AML POLICIES

Marketsall Brand is committed to the highest standards of compliance against money laundering (AML) and anti-terrorist financing (CTF). The objective of the Companies Policy against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing is to actively prevent the risks of these matters. To help the government combat the financing of terrorism and money laundering activities, the law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. We have an obligation to report suspicious client activity relevant to money laundering.


Money Laundering

The process of converting funds received from illegal activities (such as fraud, corruption, terrorism, etc.) into other funds or investments that appear legitimate to hide or distort the actual source of funds.


The Money Laundering Process

The money laundering process can be divided into three sequential stages:

  •    
  • Placement. At this stage, the funds are turned into financial instruments, such as checks, bank accounts, and money transfers, or they can be used to buy high-value goods that can be resold. They can also be physically deposited in banks and non-bank institutions (e.g., exchange houses). To avoid suspicion, multiple small deposits (called "smurfing") may be used instead of depositing the entire sum at once.
  •    
  • Layers. The funds are transferred or moved to other accounts and financial instruments to disguise the origin and interrupt the audit trail. Moving funds and changing their form makes it difficult to track the laundered money.
  •    
  • Integration. The funds are re-circulated as legitimate to purchase goods and services.


Marketsall Brand AML Commitment

"Marketsall Brand" adheres to the principles of Anti-Money Laundering and actively prevents any action that targets or facilitates the legalization of illegally obtained funds. The AML policy means preventing the use of the company's services by criminals for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activity.

To prevent money laundering, "Marketsall Brand" does not accept or pay in cash under any circumstances. The company reserves the right to suspend the operation of any client suspected of illegal activity or related to money laundering.
