CPayant, a brand of DB Technology Innovations Ltd., is firmly committed to complying with all applicable global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) laws and regulations. This policy outlines the comprehensive principles and procedures we diligently implement to mitigate the risk of our services being misused for illegal activities.
2. Risk Assessment
CPayant fully acknowledges that the inherent nature of the financial services industry makes it susceptible to money laundering and terrorist financing activities. We conduct thorough and regular risk assessments to meticulously identify and understand the specific money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with our unique business model, valued customer base, and geographical location. These assessments are instrumental in tailoring our robust AML/CTF compliance program accordingly.
3. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
CPayant implements a robust customer due diligence (CDD) program to meticulously verify the identity of our customers and meticulously assess the money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with them. This comprehensive program encompasses:
- Customer Identification and Verification: We adhere to stringent global regulations by collecting and verifying the identities of our customers using reliable and independent sources of documentation.
- Know Your Customer (KYC): We gather in-depth information about our customers' business activities, sources of funds, and anticipated transaction patterns to gain a comprehensive understanding of their financial profile and risk level.

4. Transaction Monitoring
CPayant diligently monitors all customer transactions for any suspicious activity that might indicate money laundering or terrorist financing.
