Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Premax Capital LLC is committed to the highest standards of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance and Anti-Terrorist Financing and requires the management, and employees to follow the named standards.

Money laundering – 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.

Objective

The main objective of implementing Anti-Money Laundering Policy is to ensure that clients engaging in certain activities are identified to a reasonable standard, while minimizing the compliance burden and impact on legitimate clients. For this purpose, Premax Capital Ltd has set up a highly sophisticated electronic system which able to log and verifies client identification records, and tracks and maintains detailed records of all transactions.

Know your customer and due diligence

Because of the company’s commitment to the AML and KYC policies, each client of the company has to finish a verification procedure. Before Premax Capital LLC starts any cooperation with the client, the company ensures that satisfactory evidence is produced or such other measures that will produce satisfactory evidence of the identity of any customer or counterparty are taken. The company as well applies heightened scrutiny to clients, who are residents of other countries, identified by credible sources as countries, having inadequate AML standards or that may represent a high risk for crime and corruption and to beneficial owners who resides in and whose funds are sourced from named countries.

Individual clients

During the process of registration, each client provides personal information, specifically: full name; date of birth; origin; complete address, including phone number and city code. A client sends the following documents (in case the documents are written in non-Latin characters: to avoid any delays in the verification process, it is necessary to provide a notarized translation of the document in English) because of the requirements of KYC and to confirm the indicated information:

  • A high-resolution copy of the first page of local or international passport, where the photo and the signature are clearly seen, or a copy of driver’s license with the same requirements. The indicated documents must be valid at least 6 months from the filing date.
  • A high-resolution copy of a receipt of utility services payment or bank statement, containing the full client’s name and the actual place of residence. These documents should not be older than 3 months from the date of filing.

Monitoring and reporting suspicious activity

  • Premax Capital LLC collects and verifies identification data of the Client and also logs and tracks itemized statements of all transactions carried out by the Client.
  • Premax Capital LLC neither accepts cash deposits nor disburses cash under any circumstances.
  • Premax Capital LLC reserves the right to refuse to process a transaction at any stage, when it believes the transaction to be connected in any way to money laundering or criminal activity.
