TransFi AML KYC Policy

Last updated: March 2023

The guidelines contained in this reference intend to provide guidance to the staff of Trans-Fi UAB and its subsidiaries & affiliated entities (together referred to as TransFi) AND its customers, regarding practices and standards that TransFi expects to have in place, in order to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing; identify and report suspicious activity; comply with anti-terrorism and sanctions laws and regulations; and other relevant international laws.

1. Policy Statement And Objectives

TransFi has created this Compliance Policy Guide to:

• Assist its employees in complying with the laws, rules and regulations across jurisdictions in our collective effort to ensure that the services that TransFi provides are fully compliant;
• Put in place appropriate systems and controls to ensure compliance with policies;
• Develop a risk-based approach to manage money-laundering and terrorist financing risk;
• Set clear customer due diligence procedures, including Identification & Verification (ID&V) and KYC, and providing guidance when enhanced due diligence is required;
• Conduct transaction monitoring to detect unusual and suspicious activity and to report to local supervisory authorities; and
• Take appropriate measures to freeze or close relationships to mitigate financial crime risk.
• Develop a robust employee training program as an essential component of an effective AML compliance program.

This Guide, coupled with internal controls, independent compliance testing and appropriate training, are the key segments of TransFi’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer & Business (KYC/KYB) policies.

The greatest risk faced by TransFi lies in the broad area of money laundering. A failure to comply with government rules and requirements can lead to civil fines and penalties, the seizure and forfeiture of bank accounts and other assets, and criminal prosecution. These legal actions can, potentially, be applied to TransFi and/or responsible officers and employees as well as, any duly authorized Customers, to whom we provide services. Also critically important is the ability of TransFi to maintain sound banking relationships that are an absolute requisite for successful business functionality.

Money laundering is the process of causing financial transactions to take place, with the proceeds of criminal activity in such a manner as to conceal the source, illicit origin, or true ownership of the asset. The transactions may also include assisting or facilitating criminal activities such as terrorist financing, drug and human trafficking, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, corruption & bribery, amongst others.

In order to not be caught committing such illegal activities, criminal groups or individuals do not want to be identified and will seek to conduct transactions in such a way as to defeat these reporting requirements. Given these facts, compliance with “Know Your Customer” & Know Your Business (KYC & KYB) becomes an unquestionable requirement. As we customize and provide services to financial institutions, these requirements become subject to the strictest adherence.

TransFi’s AML/KYC & KYB policy covers the following elements:

• Customer Due Diligence which includes Identification & Verification requirements (ID&V), Know Your Customer and Business as well as Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) when required;
• TransFi Compliance department;
• Risk Management;
• Transaction Monitoring;
• Customer Compliance program;
• Prohibited Customer Types;
• Law enforcement requests;
• Record Keeping;
• Conclusions.

2. Know Your Customer & Identification & Verification Requirements

KYC laws have been a standard AML obligation around the world for decades and were introduced in the United States with the USA Patriot Act¹ and European Union Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD) to help detect and prevent Terrorism Financing activities.

TransFi is an international services provider in a host of countries within which it provides its services. Regulatory requirements across the world require customer due diligence as a critical tool to prevent illegal activity. TransFi has set up data collection, verification, analytics, investigation and reporting processes within the standards of Anti-Money Laundering regulations through its “Know Your Customer (KYC/KYB)” framework. Key elements of this framework are

A. Identification & Verification (ID&V)

To maintain practical policies concerning the need to “Know Your Customer” the business must verify the identity of its customers/ Users. For individual users this includes name and address. A single form of verification may be accepted like a valid Government issued document accurately contains the users name and date of birth for individuals. The same can be verified through electronic verification means. Acceptable forms of identification for an Individual user would vary by country of operation and include one or more of the following:

• National ID;
• Driver’s license;
• Passport;
• Residence permit for a foreign national;
• Any other acceptable ID allowed by regulation in the geography (e.g. PAN card in India); and
• Valid Address document like a Utility bill/bank statement (could be any of the above if they have the complete address and not merely a PO Box).

Similarly Acceptable forms of identification for a customer or a corporate (KYB) would include the following:

• Proof of registration- Company Registration /Incorporation;
• Shareholder Certificates (>25%) mandatory;
• Valid Certificate of Incumbency (Signed by all necessary beneficiaries) - Clearly listing the ownership percentage of all current directors, officers and key stakeholders (last 6months to one year);
• Memorandum of Association (MOA) & Articles of Association (AOA) wherever applicable- These document sets out how a company is operated, governed and owned and the extent of Authority/ powers key executives hold;
• Official address or Principal business address (proof of address);
• EIN / TIN;
• All ID docs for natural persons owning >25% of the legal entity and any natural person who is a controlling person or the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO). All the company’s beneficiaries (that own 25% or more) will need to individually complete the KYC process; and
• Refer to the list of documents listed for individuals above.

TransFi will take steps to confirm the authenticity of documents and information provided by users and customers, including verification with regulatory / government sources, and running analytics. Identification information taken above will be collected, stored, shared and protected strictly in accordance with TransFi’s Privacy Policy related regulations.

Once the identity has been verified, TransFi is no longer legally liable in a situation where its products & services are used to conduct illegal activities.

B. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

TransFi reserves the right to flag users & customers presenting a higher risk (e.g., politically exposed persons – PEPs or high-risk customers) and request additional documents & verification. If an EDD requires an investigation, TransFi will take any such measures as deemed fit. A PEP is subject to various checks including, but not limited to senior management approval, source of wealth, source of funds and enhanced due diligence. A high-risk customer is identified based on business activities and subject to enhanced due diligence. If the enhanced due diligence is not complied with to TransFi’s satisfaction, we reserve the right to reject such users & customers from onboarding TransFi’s products & services. TransFi will also be within its rights to report any failed EDD instances to law enforcement authorities, as deemed appropriate.

C. Ongoing Monitoring

TransFi will have the right to verify the identity of users and customers on an ongoing basis, especially if there has been any change in the identification information or their activities are deemed suspicious. Such activities could include, though not limited to, changes in customer information, address, ownership, and activities wherein KYC details will be updated on an ongoing basis. TransFi reserves the right to ask such users for updated KYC documents, even if they have been successfully verified in the past. TransFi conducts periodic review of its client's basis their risk categorization;
The risk levels are: High risk - 1 year and Others - 3 years.

D. Acceptable Sources Of Funds

Source of funds refers to the origin of the funds. It refers to the activity that generated the funds, for example salary payments or sale proceeds, as well as the means through which the customer's or beneficial owner's funds were transferred.

• Salary /Business income;
• Pension releases;
• Personal savings;
• Share sales and dividends;
• Property sales;
• Inheritances and gifts.

E. Transaction Blocking

TransFi is prohibited from transacting with individuals, companies and countries that fail KYC or are on prescribed sanction lists. As such, TransFi will block transactions of users & customers that:

• Fail KYC at any point in time;
• Are on prescribed sanctions list (e.g.,OFAC); and
• Are in sanctioned jurisdictions as per United Nations, US, European Union, and UK Treasury.

3. TransFi Compliance Department

TransFi has established a Compliance Department that is headed by a designated Compliance Officer, who is tasked to ensure implementation and enforcement of the AML / KYC policy. With support and oversight of transactional and administrative practices, the Compliance Officer is responsible to supervise all aspects of TransFi’s Anti Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing policies and ensures compliance with laws and regulations.

The scope of Compliance department’s efforts includes, but not limited to the following:

• Collecting user’s identification information & conducting relevant checks as appropriate;
• Establishing and updating internal policies and procedures for the completion, review, submission and retention of all reports and records required under the applicable laws and regulations;
• Monitoring transactions and investigating any significant deviations from normal activity;
• Implementing a records management system for appropriate storage and retrieval of documents, files, forms and logs;
• Conducting a business risk assessment on a periodic basis; and
• Providing law enforcement with information as required under the applicable laws and regulations.

The Compliance Officer is also empowered to interact with law enforcement in connection with prevention of any money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal activities.

4. Risk Management

Risk assessment is a process whereby a methodology is maintained to identify and measure the inherent financial crime risk to which the firm is exposed, assess the coverage of controls to mitigate these risks and determine the residual levels. This is done in order to estimate the threat to compliant practices, as TransFi provides services to its customers, are calculated; and as may be necessary, eliminated, reduced or controlled. The main purpose of risk assessment is to identify transactions that may threaten to take advantage of compliance vulnerabilities and evaluate the risks presented, to effectively conduct the elimination of such threats.

TransFi has adopted a risk-based approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. This approach applies both to individual transactions and TransFi customers. By adopting a risk-based approach, TranFi is able to ensure that measures taken are commensurate to the identified risks, thereby enabling efficient allocation of resources. This principle also ensures that the greatest risks receive the highest attention.

TransFi’s risk-based approach is based on, but not limited to the following:

• Monitoring transactions and assigning risk based on multiple parameter such as location, destination, user behavior and amount of transactions;
• Bank card verifications to ensure the ownership of card is determined to be to the user before processing transactions;
• Monitoring crypto transactions and assessing risk of dealing with dark net, high ML risk counterparties, and likely association with other illegal activities.

The Business AML risk assessment will cover at a minimum all markets where TransFi has a business presence, all aspects of the business and AML related processes.

5. Transaction Monitoring

Regulations across jurisdictions require TransFi to monitor and analyse transactions of both individual users and customers. TransFi uses a comprehensive approach of transaction monitoring including, but not limited to:

• Daily check of users against recognized “blacklists” (e.g. OFAC or any other Specially Designated National (SDN) list as prescribed in other jurisdictions), aggregating transfers by multiple data points, placing users on watch and service denial lists, opening cases for investigation where needed, sending internal communications and filing out statutory reports, if applicable;
• Regular filing of reports such as Currency Transaction Reports, Filing Suspicious Activity Reports;
• Requesting users and customers for any additional information and documents in case of suspicious transactions, including suspending or terminating accounts when TransFi has reasonable suspicion of illegal activity;
• Maintaining a record of all transactions as required by the respective regulatory authority in their respective countries or for a period dictated by laws and regulations in the jurisdiction which they operate; and
• During the term of the relationship with a customer or given the case that there is cause for its termination to be considered, TransFi will provide reasonable notice to the customer, to inspect and review the customer’s books and records relating to the matter at hand.

TransFi’s transaction monitoring process involves data capture & analysis, record keeping, investigation management & reporting. In addition, the Compliance Officer is authorized to take any appropriate actions to ensure compliance with laws & Regulations.

6. Customer Compliance Program

Essential to TransFi’s ability to comply with secrecy & privacy rules and regulations and to ensure that the company does not become associated with illicit activities, an effective internal compliance program is necessary. The Customer Compliance Program should include:

• A system of internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance with laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdiction of operation;
• Independent testing of compliance with established policies and procedures; and
• Training of all employees under TransFi and its subsidiaries.

These items are the basic elements of a sound compliance program that all money services businesses, which includes TransFi and its customers, must have.

7. Prohibited Customer Types

TransFi will not establish business relationships with customers who pose serious money laundering risks as it falls outside the firm's risk appetite. TransFi will not under any circumstances accept the following types of customers.

• Known beneficiaries of Corruptions or Illegal Activities;
• Shell companies/shell banks;
• Unregulated casinos;
• Incomplete CDD;
• Unregulated money transmitters; and
• Customers with bearer shares in the ownership structure.

8. Law Enforcement Requests

Government regulators and law enforcement agencies may seek information and records from time to time. Any person associated or connected with our company, who receives or is served with a summons, subpoena or court order related to TransFi business should immediately contact the TransFi Compliance Department for further assistance.

The company will assist entities in their investigations, provided the request(s) is / are conducted in a lawful manner.

Examinations By The IRS As Representatives Of FINCEN And Other Local Regulatory Bodies

The IRS are empowered by law to conduct spot checks and detailed examinations to determine whether registered money services businesses are complying with the Bank Secrecy Act and laws. Attention is normally focused on transaction reporting and record keeping requirements. In fulfilling this requirement, The IRS are entitled to see all subject records and TransFi will always comply with the examination process.

If a customer is subject to an examination with the IRS, TransFi will require the customer share the results of the audit.

Similarly, for jurisdictions outside the US, if a customer is subject to an examination by an equivalent local regulatory body, TransFi will always comply with the examination process.

For any law enforcement requests, please direct your official document to our Compliance team at Compliance@transfi.com

9. Employee Training

Employee training is an essential part of an AML Compliance program. It is crucial to train the employees to improve their skills and comply with regulations and protect the company from criminal attempts. TransFi attempts to provide effective AML training to its employees that will help to identify and prevent money laundering activities, minimize the risk of fines and penalties and enhance the reputation of the company. The training is arranged once every quarter.

10. Record Keeping

Record keeping is an integral part of regulatory responsibility. To assist in record keeping the Company maintains an employee training log including details of their assessment results, when they were examined, when they were trained, and any reassessment necessary.

10.1 AML Records

The company will remain compliant, in all aspects, with all laws, rules, regulations across jurisdictions, as well as extend its full cooperation to law enforcement and regulatory authorities, maintain records, as per regulatory requirements and in accordance with TransFi’s policies and procedures.

TransFi will not tolerate its reputation and the sound business practice the company has developed and implemented be put in jeopardy.

TransFi expects its customers to do their part to ensure full compliance with all aspects and the spirit of this reference and TransFi’s Anti-Money Laundering policies and procedures, and support TransFi as it strives to maintain its progressive stance in the industry.

¹The USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to develop and implement their own AML program and emphasizes several mandatory checks and screening capabilities. Accordingly, a firm’s USA Patriot Act Anti-Money Laundering program must be built around the following criteria:

• The company must develop internal anti-money laundering policies, procedures, and controls;
• An AML Compliance Officer must be appointed to oversee the Anti-Money Laundering program;
• Employees must receive ongoing Anti-Money Laundering training; and
• The Anti-Money Laundering program must be independently audited regularly.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) defines UBO as “the natural person(s) who owns or controls a customer and/or the natural person on whose behalf a transaction is being conducted. It also includes those persons who exercise ultimate effective control over a legal person or arrangement.” UBO is defined as the following.

• Owning >= 25% of share capital;
• Exercise at least 25% of voting rights;
• Beneficiaries of at least 25% of an entity’s capital;
• Persons with power of attorney;
• Guardians of minors;
• Corporate directors or nominee directors that are appointed to conceal the true owners of a given firm; and
• Shareholders, including the holders of bearer shares that may be transferred anonymously.
