AML Policy governs the operations of the Satoshi.cx exchange service in terms of preventing the use of the platform for money laundering and terrorist financing. This document is drafted in accordance with the recommendations of the international intergovernmental organization FATF (Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering).
Satoshi.cx conducts analysis, monitoring, and control of all transactions carried out through the platform to ensure compliance with AML regulations and to detect possible signs of suspicious activity.
During AML checks, particular attention is paid to the following high-risk indicators:
- “Child Exploitation”
- “Fraud Shop”
- “High-Risk Jurisdiction”
- “Illicit Actor/Organization”
- “Terrorism Financing”
- “Dark Service”
- “Dark Market”
- “Exchange Fraudulent”
- “Scam”
- “Illegal Service”
- “Stolen”
- “Mixer”
- “Ransom”
- “Enforcement Action”
- “Gambling”
- “Sanctions”
as well as transactions associated with the prohibited services listed above.
If signs of high risk are detected, the service has the right to:
- Suspend the request and withhold funds until an internal investigation is completed;
- Request user identity verification (KYC) in accordance with FATF requirements;
- Request additional information confirming the source of funds and the purpose of the transaction.
Verification may be full or simplified depending on the nature of the transaction and the risk level.
The submitted documents must belong to the person in whose name the application was made. Transfers on behalf of third parties are prohibited.
Refunds are possible only after completing the KYC procedure. Refunds are processed:
- Only to the payment details specified in the original request;
- At the discretion of the service, considering technical capabilities and manual processing fees;
- After all required documents are provided and the verification is completed.
If suspicious activity is confirmed, the service reserves the right to refuse further service to the user.
Satoshi.cx reserves the right to suspend or fully cancel the execution of a request at any stage if there are grounds to believe that the transaction is associated with money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal activities under applicable law.
All information about transactions and user actions is stored in the systеm and may be provided upon request to law enforcement agencies, as well as by court decision or at the request of a payment systеm.
The service uses both automated and manual monitoring systems to assess risks and detect suspicious activity.
The exchange service does not cooperate with jurisdictions subject to sanctions. The above list of countries may be updated or changed without prior notice.
If a transaction is blocked by a payment systеm or exchange, the service is not responsible for the response time or outcome of the issue. Such cases are governed by the policies of the respective platforms.
