This Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Policy (hereinafter
- the “AML/KYC Policy”) is designated to prevent and mitigate risks of Itez
related to money laundering and associated risks. This is a short extract of
key principles of the internal Policy and should not be seen as a complete
document. You can request the full document by contacting customer
support of the Company.
Domestic and international regulations require Itez to implement effective
internal procedures and mechanisms to prevent money laundering,
terrorist financing, drug and human trafficking, proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction, corruption and bribery and to take action in case of any
form of suspicious activity from its Customers.
AML/KYC Policy covers the following matters:
Before the company can execute any transaction for any new Customer, a number of procedures need to be in place and carried out:
Whenever the company receives supporting documents related to a new Customer’s identity, it needs to be completely satisfied that they demonstrate the existence of the new Customer as a real natural or legal person and that they are indeed whom they say they are. Although the company will at times rely on third party sources as part of its factchecking procedure when on boarding Customers, the company bears ultimate legal responsibility for the checks being satisfactory.
Customer’s identification information will be collected, stored, shared and protected strictly in accordance with the company’s Privacy Policy and related regulations that correspond to the GDPR requirements.
AMLCO is ultimately responsible for implementing the regulations concerning AML. For the sake of ease of navigation in this document ‘compliance officer’ and ‘AMLCO’ refer to the same person; however, the specific tasks of each role are different
As noted above, the AMLCO is a person of authority with access to any and all relevant information for the completion of his duties.
