KYC is the guiding principle behind the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures. ZebPay aims to have in place adequate policies, practices and procedures that promote high ethical and professional standards and prevent the ZebPay Platform or availing the ZebPay Services from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, for money laundering purposes. KYC of a User enables ZebPay to know/ understand its Users and their financial dealings better which in turn will help ZebPay to manage its risks prudently.
The main aspect of this AML policy is the User due diligence process which means:
- 1. Obtaining sufficient information about to the User in order to identify who is the actual beneficial owner of the crypto assets or on whose behalf transaction is conducted;
- 2. Verify the User identity using reliable independent source document, data or information;
- 3. Conduct on-going due diligence and scrutiny of the Client Asset Account/ User to ensure that the transactions conducted are consistent with the Users’ background/ financial status, its activities and risk profile.
ZebPay collects the documents and information as per Clause 13 (e) of the Terms of Use.
ZebPay ensures the availability of a Compliance Officer at all times. The Compliance Officer is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of this AML Policy. This includes, but is not limited to:
- 1. ensuring compliance of the provisions of the PMLA and relevant guidelines;
- 2. act as a central reference point and play and active role in identification & assessment of potential suspicious transactions;
- 3. ensure that ZebPay discharges its legal obligation to report suspicious transactions to concerned authorities; and
- 4. ensuring the maintenance of a continually high level of staff AML awareness even between training sessions.
ZebPay is fully committed to establish appropriate policies and procedures for ensuring effectiveness and compliance with respect to all relevant legal requirements.
We implement ongoing employee training programmes so that ZebPay’s staff is completely aware of the provisions of the PMLA and guidelines and amendments thereof. These training programmes focus on frontline staff, back office staff, compliance staff, risk management staff and staff dealing with customers. It is very crucial that all those concerned fully understand the rationale behind these guidelines, obligations and requirements, implement them consistently and are sensitive to the risks of their systems being potentially misused by unscrupulous elements, if there is any lapse on their part.
