Anti-Money Laundering

Please read carefully

Both the Company and the Client must comply with global and local Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws and regulations.

The Client must acknowledge and confirm that:

  • • The use of the Company’s platform and services will strictly comply with applicable laws and not be used for any unlawful activities.
  • • All monetary transactions to and from the Client will adhere to AML laws and regulations, ensuring that the funds transferred to the Company are not derived from any illegal or criminal activities.
  • • The Client is obligated to provide accurate and up-to-date personal information to allow the Company to verify their identity when processing incoming and outgoing funds.
  • • Any funds returned to the Client by the Company will be in the same currency and sent to the same account/credit card from which they were initially transferred, unless the Company decides, at its discretion, to refund the money to a different account belonging to the Client.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING

MelbourneFX maintains a strict anti-money laundering policy and supports efforts to combat money laundering globally. Billing and clearing operations are conducted under the jurisdiction of St. Vincent and the Grenadines laws.

The Company enforces the following measures to prevent money laundering:

  • • Verifying clients’ valid proof of identification.
  • • Keeping detailed records of identification documents.
  • • Ensuring clients are not on any list of known or suspected terrorists by cross-referencing against official watchlists.
  • • Notifying clients that their information may be used to confirm their identity.
  • • Monitoring clients' financial transactions closely.
  • • Prohibiting the acceptance of cash, money orders, third-party transactions, transfers via exchange houses, or Western Union transfers.

Money laundering refers to the process of disguising funds originating from illegal activities by moving them through the financial system to make them appear legitimate.

Stages of Money Laundering:

  1. 1. Placement: Introducing cash or cash equivalents into the financial system.
  2. 2. Layering: Transferring funds across accounts (e.g., futures accounts) through complex transactions designed to obscure the origin of the money.
  3. 3. Integration: Reintroducing the funds into the economy, making them appear as legitimate income (e.g., closing futures accounts and transferring funds to a bank).

Trading accounts may be exploited to execute financial transactions that conceal the source or ownership of funds. As a preventive measure, MelbourneFX directs fund withdrawals to the original payment source.

International AML regulations require financial institutions to detect, deter, and report suspicious activity through robust compliance programs
