Vida Markets is committed to the highest standards of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF). To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person opening an account.

Money laundering \u2013 the process of converting funds, received from illegal activities (such as fraud, corruption, terrorism, etc.), into other funds or investments that look legitimate to hide or distort the real source of funds.

The process of money laundering can be divided into three sequential stages:<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Placement. <\/strong>At this stage, funds are converted into financial instruments, such as checks, bank accounts, and money transfers, or can be used for purchasing high-value goods that can be resold. They can also be physically deposited into banks and non-bank institutions (e.g., currency exchangers). To avoid suspicion by the company, the launderer may as well make several deposits instead of depositing the whole sum at once, this form of placement is called smurfing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Layering.<\/strong> Funds are transferred or moved to other accounts and other financial instruments. It is performed to disguise the origin and disrupt the indication of the entity that made the multiple financial transactions. Moving funds around and changing in their form makes it complicated to trace the money being laundered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Integration.<\/strong> Funds get back into circulation as legitimate to purchase goods and services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Vida Markets adheres to the principles of Anti-Money Laundering and actively prevents any actions that aim or facilitate the process of legalizing of illegally gained funds. AML policy means preventing the use of the company\u2019s services by criminals, with the aim of money laundering, terrorist financing or other criminal activity.

    To prevent money laundering, Vida Markets reserves the right to suspend any client\u2019s operation, which can be regarded as illegal or, may be related to money laundering. The company reserves the right to suspend client accounts without giving reason.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Monitoring of client activity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
          In addition to gathering information from the clients, Vida Markets continues to monitor the activity of every client to identify and prevent any suspicious transactions. A suspicious transaction is known as a transaction that is inconsistent with the client\u2019s legitimate business or the usual client\u2019s transaction history known from client activity monitoring. Vida Markets has implemented the system of monitoring the named transactions (both automatic and, if needed, manual) to prevent using the company\u2019s services by criminals. For KYT (Know Your Transaction) every transaction that we process will be run through an inhouse built system which will detect many patterns of risky activity, from darknet markets and scams to sanctioned addresses and anomalous transactions. Covers 90% of all cryptocurrency activity. Each transaction is scored, according to risk, low, medium, high or severe. Only low risk transactions are approved with all others being blocked and resulting in an internal investigation. For ongoing transaction monitoring in the aggregate, all of our transactions will be loaded into our monitoring system where an extensive ruleset is utilized to identify any patterns of money laundering or suspicious financial activity. The system includes case management that ensures every instance is investigated, resolved and a report is filed to the appropriate regulatory bodies where required.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
