AML regulations

In accordance with both international and local rules and legislation, it is imperative that the CryptoGin exchange service implements effective internal procedures aimed at preventing any illegal activity and takes all necessary measures in this regard.

The AML/KYC policy includes the following aspects:

1.1 Proof of identity

The authentication procedure requires the user to provide the service administration with reliable documents, such as an international passport, an account statement, a utility bill, and others.

Also, the service reserves the right to conduct additional checks for certain suspicious users. The verification process includes the provision of documents confirming the user's identity.

  1. A civil passport;
  2. International passport;
  3. ID card.

To confirm the address, the user must provide one of the following documents:

  2. A utility bill where the address of the actual residence is clearly visible;
  3. Tax documents where the address of the actual residence is clearly visible;
  4. A document issued by the local authorities and confirming the address of the actual residence, where the address of the actual residence is clearly visible.
(The document must have been received no more than three months ago) 1.2. Verifying the authenticity of a bank card

For users who want to make an exchange using a bank card, a preliminary verification of the authenticity of the card is required.

In accordance with international requirements, the service verifies transactions for risk using AML services.

In this regard, the transaction may be rejected if the overall risk level exceeds 70%. In addition, the service may refuse to provide services to the user if the risk exceeds 25% in the following categories:

  • Illegal Service
  • Darknet Marketplace
  • Darknet Service
  • Illicit Actor/Organization
  • High-Risk Jurisdiction
  • Gambling

or exceed 5% in the following categories:

  • Mixing Service
  • Sanctions
  • Enforcement action
  • Scam
  • Stolen Coins
  • Terrorism Financing
  • Fraud Shop
  • Fraudulent Exchange
  • Child Exploitation
  • Seized assets
  • Ransom

In case of identification of a high level of risk for a transaction, the user must undergo a KYC verification procedure to confirm his identity.

After carrying out the identity verification procedure, the Service will refund the User, of which 5% will be deducted. The specified documents must be sent to the address [email protected] where you need to additionally specify the application number and details for a refund.

If the global regulator (trading partners) blocks/freezes funds and/or payment systems due to the high AML factor, the service may take up to 180 working days to unlock it. In this case, the refund will occur only after full unblocking. A refund will be made minus 15% of the amount received.
