AML (Prevention of Money Laundering) Policy



AML (Prevention of Money Laundering) Policy

Discovery Forex Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the company")
The determination to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing (hereinafter these acts are collectively referred to as "money laundering, etc.") has been reiterated and clearly stated here.

Money laundering refers to “to cover up illegal sources, assets derived from crime” or “to cover up taxable items and evade taxation in taxable areas” or to provide terrorist financing. "The act of providing terrorists with funds needed to carry out terrorist acts."

Laissez-faire money laundering and other acts will leave the funds obtained illegally, which may be used for illegal activities in the future, and allow criminal organizations to control legal economic activities. Preventing money laundering is an important issue in all countries.

In addition, money laundering has become internationalized and complicated in recent years. Strongly request international cooperation.

The Bank actively supports the import and export and overseas expansion of business partners, strongly recognizes the importance of preventive measures such as money laundering, and has the following internal systems to meet the strict requirements of the international community.

Our anti-money laundering policy improves investor protection, secure payment methods and customer security services.

Identity confirmation

The first safeguard against money laundering is the most advanced "Know Your Customer" (KYC) verification.
To ensure compliance with standard anti-money laundering rules, we require you to submit the following documents:

Identification: A clear copy of the front and back of a government-issued photo ID (such as a passport, driving license, national ID card, etc.).

Proof of address: An official document issued within 3 months, clearly stating your name and address registered with Discovery Forex.
You can use utility bills (such as water, electricity, landline phones) or bank balance certificates here. The following information is required for copying.

  • The real name of the customer
  • Customer address (building name, street address, etc.)
  • Issue date (within the past 3 months)
  • Name of issuing organization with official logo or seal

Due to different regulatory requirements in some countries/regions, we may need other/more documents. Thanks for your cooperation.

No withdrawals can be made until your "Identity Confirmation" document is received and approved.

Transactions performed before the account is approved may be cancelled.
Losses or profits caused by these transactions may also be cancelled or deleted from your account.

Monitoring

We do not accept payments from third parties. All deposits must be made in your own name.
The name must match the submitted KYC related documents.
Due to the AML regulatory policy, all withdrawn funds must be returned to the exact same source as the received funds.
This means that when a withdrawal request is made for funds deposited by bank transfer for the first time, the funds will be transferred to the same account.
Similarly, when a withdrawal request is made using funds deposited by a credit card, the funds will be remitted to the same credit card.

We will not accept cash deposits under any circumstances, nor will we make cash payments when making withdrawal requests.

Report Policy

Anti-money laundering regulations require monitoring and follow-up of suspicious transactions and reporting such activities to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
In addition, if we suspect that the remittance is related to criminal activities or money laundering, we reserve the right to refuse any remittance at any stage.
The law prohibits us from notifying our customers of any suspicious activity reports submitted to law enforcement agencies.

Source of funds

We are a legal entity established in Samoa and hold a US license.
We are obliged to keep customer deposit documents and comply with anti-money laundering regulations.
If your deposit exceeds $50,000, you will need to fill out a "Source of Funds" form stating the source of funds and attach all relevant documents to support your statement. If the information and evidence provided are insufficient and the source of the deposit cannot be proved, we will request further documentation.

If you fail to submit the required documents within the deadline, your account will be frozen.
