Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) Policy
Last Updated: September 22, 2025
GreatBless Global Markets Ltd ("GreatBless," "the Company") is committed to the highest standards of combatting money laundering and the financing of terrorism. We operate in strict compliance with applicable international standards and local regulations to ensure a safe and transparent trading environment for our clients and to prevent our platform from being used for illicit purposes.
1. Compliance Commitment
GreatBless maintains a robust internal AML/KYC Procedures Manual (the "Manual"). This public policy outlines the core principles of that Manual, specifically regarding our compliance procedures for client onboarding and ongoing monitoring.
2. Client Identification and Verification (KYC)
To comply with standard legal requirements, GreatBless mandates that every client complete a standardized Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure before opening a trading account. The following procedures are implemented without exception:
- Verification of Identity: Individual clients must provide a valid, high-resolution copy of a government-issued photo identification document (e.g., Passport, National ID card, or Driver's License). The document must clearly show the full name, date of birth, and validity date. Corporate clients are subject to enhanced verification, including documents confirming company registration and identification of ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs).
- Verification of Residence: Clients must provide a document proving their residential address (e.g., a utility bill, bank statement, or government tax letter) issued within the last three (3) months. The document must show the client's full name and address.
- Data Verification: All submitted data is subjected to strict verification checks to ensure authenticity and accuracy.
3. Prohibited Clients
GreatBless will strictly refuse service to and will not onboard any clients who fall under prohibited categories, including but not limited to:
- Individuals or entities listed on international sanctions lists (e.g., UN, OFAC, EU sanctions lists).
- Shell banks.
- Anonymous accounts or accounts in fictitious names.
- Clients from Jurisdictions under increased monitoring by FATF (the FATF "Gray List" or "Black List").
4. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and High-Risk Clients
We apply Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for clients identified as high-risk, including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Onboarding such clients requires senior management approval.
5. Ongoing Monitoring and Transactional Surveillance
GreatBless’s commitment to AML compliance extends beyond the initial onboarding. We perform ongoing monitoring of client accounts and transactions to detect unusual or suspicious patterns. This includes, but is not limited to, monitoring for large or cash-like deposits, rapid turnover of funds, and trading patterns inconsistent with the client’s risk profile.
6. Record Keeping
GreatBless maintains all records relating to client identification and transactional history for a minimum period as required by law, ensuring audit trails are available for inspection by competent authorities if necessary.
7. Training and Culture
The Company provides mandatory, regular AML/KYC training to all relevant employees, ensuring that our team is equipped to identify, assess, and mitigate AML/CFT risks effectively.
