AML Compliance Program

EukaPay has established an AML Program designed to comply with AML laws and regulations in Canada, the U.S. and other applicable jurisdictions. This AML Policy underscores our ongoing commitment to identifying and preventing money laundering and terrorism financing in connection with our services. Acknowledging that combating money laundering is an ever-evolving process, we are vigilant in understanding and mitigating those potential risks. We continually evaluate the strength of our existing policies, procedures and technologies, and update them, as necessary, to address the changing environment. We also train our staff to assure they are well versed in the evolving techniques that criminals use to infiltrate the system and are well-equipped to combat money laundering and other financial crimes. Our AML Program includes:

  • Designation of an AML Compliance Officer who is responsible for coordinating and monitoring the day-to-day compliance with the AML Program;

  • AML risk assessments at the program, customer, and product and services levels;

  • Written policies, procedures, and a system of internal controls designed to facilitate ongoing compliance with applicable AML laws and regulations

  • Know Your Customer standards including a Customer Identification Program and Customer Due Diligence procedures reasonably designed to identify and verify all customers and, where applicable, beneficial owners, source of funds, and the nature and intended purpose of the business relationship, to the extent warranted by the risk of money laundering or terrorist financing or as required by regulation;

  • Additional due diligence for higher-risk customers.

  • Risk-based measures and systems for ongoing monitoring of transactions and activities through customers' accounts;

  • Identification and reporting of suspicious transactions or activities to appropriate regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable laws;
