With the development of the online transaction market, the number of scammers has proportionally increased. Their goals remain invariably simple: to intercept by any means, to gain access to clients" assets.

However, financial services have something to oppose. Our resource uses the AML KYC verification system (hereinafter referred to as the AML / KYC Policy), which allows you to understand the risks and prevent illegal financial transactions on the network.

1. Basic concepts

1.1. The AML / KYC policy of the Cointrop.com service consists of a number of provisions, functions that are aimed at counteracting illegal financial schemes. This allows you to identify and block potentially dangerous transactions at an early stage. This document contains the main provisions related to the operation of the AML / KYC Policy, as well as relationships with clients - participants in the service.

1.2. The AML/KYC policy provides for the following operations:

• identification of responsible persons who control and monitor financial transactions;
• reporting by employees of any potential violations to regulatory authorities;
• defining the responsibilities of management, providing information about the risks involved;
• documentation of transactions aimed at countering fraudulent transactions;
• training service personnel to identify and combat illegal transactions;
• response following the decision of the regulatory authorities.

1.3. Our service provides full control of internal financial transactions that meet international standards. This allows us to effectively identify dangerous transactions, the type of terrorist financing, trafficking in drugs, weapons, etc.

2. Identity verification and verification technology

2.1. This algorithm is embedded in the structure of the service. The technology is aimed at identifying persons involved in financial transactions and performing them. This allows you to minimize the number of potentially unwanted transactions.

2.2. The scheme for carrying out personal identification has the following form:

• passport photo (foreign, state);
• statement of utility bills, which clearly indicates the address and initials of the payer (not older than six months);
• driver"s license image;
• photo of a credit card.

2.3. Note that the administration of the site has the right to require other documents to confirm the identity. This is due to the need for more thorough verification of the client making a specific financial transaction.

2.4. In the case of transactions with a large amount of assets, the client must provide an image of a printed declaration filled out by hand. Additionally, you will need a photo in the form of a selfie with a passport and a client"s credit card.

2.5. The service accepts and processes only high-quality copies, images of personal documents. Blurry, distorted and other photos with defects are not taken into account. The client will not be able to go through the identification procedure by sending such documents, since this is regarded by the site administration as a violation.

2.6. Please note that making changes, hiding important client identification information or providing knowingly false information is not accepted by the service. The system blocks such client attempts and stops the scan. In order to complete the identification, you must go through all the steps again.

2.7. We normally treat the mistakes of clients made due to inattention. These may be small spelling blots, defects in filling out personal information, and others. If you find such errors, you should contact the support service, specialists will help with corrections. The service is loyal to its customers and is always ready to help in solving problems.

3. The essence of AML/KYC technology

3.1. The AML/KYC policy is a comprehensive measure to identify potentially unreliable clients who are prone to or perform unwanted financial transactions. During identification are used:

• personal documents of the client;
• bank details, cards;
• other documents related to the identity of the client.

3.2. The AML/KYC policy takes into account only documents issued and issued by government agencies. Thus, the risk of counterfeiting potentially important papers is eliminated. The client will not be able to correct, hide or distort information entered in state registers.

3.3. The Cointrop.com service constantly checks the data of its participants to exclude unwanted persons. However, full verification according to the AML / KYC Policy begins in cases where the system detects unwanted transactions or a hint of them.

3.4. The service undertakes to perform round-the-clock control over all customer activities in order to avoid illegal actions. This allows you to identify and block suspicious activity that differs from standard currency transactions. The administration has the right to stop any transaction that falls under the rules of the AML / KYC Policy and is unreliable. Further verification is carried out in accordance with the rules of the country where the online service is located.

3.5. Completed transactions are not deleted, but end up in a digital archive, a database is formed that helps to identify fraudsters. Supervisory authorities have additional access to the archive if requested.

3.6. According to the AML / KYC Policy, Cointrop.com has the right to organize advanced identity verification within the framework of international rules. This process allows for a more detailed risk assessment and a thorough analysis of an unreliable client. In case of the slightest suspicion of dishonesty, the transaction is blocked, and the user"s digital assets are frozen. If the client cannot prove the transparency of their income, then this will allow the service to transfer information to regulatory authorities. Such security measures allow honest service participants not to be afraid for their transactions and third-party interference in them. In addition, the risks of sponsoring terrorism, banditry and money laundering are significantly reduced. With such clients, the platform terminates cooperation without the possibility of restoring business relations.
