AML / KYC
AML / KYC Policy
At TED Brokers, we are fully committed to adhering to global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. These compliance measures are designed to prevent our platform from being used as a channel for money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or any other illicit financial activity. We recognize the importance of safeguarding our community and financial system through robust verification and monitoring protocols.
Purpose of AML / KYC
The core objective of our AML / KYC policy is to create a secure and transparent trading environment for all users. By implementing these standards, we aim to:
- Prevent the use of our platform for illegal transactions and criminal activity.
- Identify and mitigate potential financial crime risks at an early stage.
- Maintain the integrity and trustworthiness of our services in the eyes of regulators and users alike.
- Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations set by local and international authorities.
Customer Identification
All new users of TED Brokers must undergo a strict verification process before they can begin using our services. This ensures that each account is tied to a legitimate individual or entity. Our customer identification process includes:
- Government-issued photo ID: Such as a valid passport, national ID card, or driver’s license.
- Proof of address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or official document showing the user’s full name and residential address (dated within the last 3 months).
- Selfie or biometric verification: To ensure the user matches the documents provided, we may request a live photo or video verification.
Failure to provide the necessary documents may result in delays in account activation or denial of service.
Monitoring Transactions
We actively monitor user transactions for signs of suspicious activity or patterns that may indicate attempted fraud or money laundering. Our automated systems and compliance officers review data points such as:
- Unusual trading behavior inconsistent with a user’s profile.
- High-volume or high-frequency transactions from multiple IP addresses or geolocations.
- Deposits and withdrawals from jurisdictions known for high-risk financial activity.
Any transaction deemed suspicious will be flagged for further investigation. When necessary, we will file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with the appropriate regulatory body in accordance with applicable law.
Data Protection
Protecting our users' sensitive information is of paramount importance. All data collected during the verification and monitoring processes is stored securely using encryption and other advanced cybersecurity protocols. We comply with international data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and ensure that personal data is only accessed by authorized personnel for compliance purposes.
Compliance and Training
TED Brokers maintains a dedicated compliance team responsible for overseeing the implementation and enforcement of AML / KYC policies. All employees undergo regular training to stay updated on the latest regulatory developments, typologies of financial crime, and best practices in risk mitigation. We also perform periodic internal audits to assess the effectiveness of our compliance framework.
Continuous Improvement
Our AML / KYC policies are reviewed regularly and updated to reflect changes in legislation, technological advancements, and evolving threats. We work closely with legal advisors, compliance experts, and regulators to ensure our policies are current and effective.
