By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, Members also acknowledge that the Company has implemented a risk-based AML/KYC program summarized hereafter. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms and Conditions, as applicable.

INTERNAL CONTROLS

The Company has established a set of AML/KYC policies and procedures to define and guide the operations of internal controls for the purpose of ensuring that its operations comply with relevant AML requirements and risk mitigation measures, based on the company’s risk appetite and profile.

INDEPENDENT TESTING

The Company’s AML program will be subject to independent testing through a periodic, independent AML audit.

TRAINING

 Employees or contractors of the Company are required to receive AML training periodically or based on demands. Ongoing training will be provided and updated regularly to reflect current developments and changes to laws and regulations.

CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM AND NOTICE

Each Member that opens a new account on the Company’s platform will be directed to complete the procedures established for the Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) and KYC. It is the Company’s policy to ensure that each Member who uses the Company’s platform has been reasonably identified.

Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account

To help the Government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, we obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

If you are an entity customer or prospective customer, we will ask for your registration document, incorporation document, license document or similar evidence that establishes your entity identity. We will also ask for your controller and ultimate beneficial owners’ identification information.

ACCOUNT OPENING PROCEDURES

The following additional steps will be taken during account opening process,: (i) cross-check the names of users against Government Lists such as the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list; (ii) require users to verify and validate their identity and identification documents presented at onboarding; and (iii) not permit any activity on platform with incomplete account opening information.

We do not accept US Members as Company Customers/Members at this time. US companies and persons who identify a US address or US nationality when attempting to create an account will not be allowed to onboard as a Member.  If a US person or company obtains HUSD outside of the Company, that person or company will not be allowed to redeem HUSD for U.S. dollars from the Company, as they will not have an account with the Company.
