6. Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedure

Client Due Diligence Refers to the acts of collecting identifying information in order to verify a Client’s identity and more accurately assess the level of ML/TF risk they present.

Identification Includes collection and verification of a Client’s full name, date of birth, gender, address, proof of residence, ID documents, selfie and/or a video of yourself, email, and phone number.

The following procedures which constitute the ML/TF prevention measures shall be carried out in order to perform customer due diligence at the inception of a Business relationship with a Client:

  • Identification of persons who apply to Mudrex as the potential Client
  • verification if the potential Client acts as a principal; if the potential Client is represented by another person (agent), the identification and verification of the representative (agent) apply as well;
  • Obtaining information on the purpose and intended nature of the relationship with Mudrex
  • The above steps are essential prior to initiation of a Business relationship with the potential Client and after the Client is engaged in the Business relationship, the following ML/TF prevention measure must be taken:
  • Ongoing monitoring of the Business relationship with the Client and Transactions of the Client

6.1 Identification of the Clients

Mudrex performs identification and verification of the customer and its beneficial owner on the following occasions:

  • Prior to establishing a business relationship
  • prior to carrying out one-off or several linked monetary operations or concluding transactions amounting to EUR 15 000 or more, or an equivalent amount in foreign currency, whether the transaction is carried out in a single operation or in several operations which appear to be linked, except for the cases where the customer and the beneficial owner have already been identified;
  • Before carrying out virtual currency exchange operations or transactions in virtual currency with funds amounting to EUR 700 or more, or the equivalent amount in foreign or virtual currency, or before depositing virtual currency to or withdrawing virtual currency from the depository virtual currency wallet in the amount equal to EUR 700 or more, or the equivalent amount in foreign or virtual currency, whether that transaction is carried out in a single operation or in several operations which appear to be linked (the value of the virtual currency is determined at the time the monetary operation is carried out or the transaction is concluded), except for the cases where the customer and the beneficial owner have been already identified;
  • when there are doubts about the veracity or authenticity of the previously obtained identification data of the customer and of the beneficial owner;
  • in any other case, when there are suspicions that an act of money laundering and/or terrorist financing is, was or will be carried out.

In the case of several interconnected monetary transactions, the identity of the customer must be established immediately after it is determined that several monetary transactions are interconnected. Several monetary transactions are considered related if the customer:

  • performs several operations of depositing money into accounts per day, the amount of which is equal to or exceeds 15,000 euros or an equivalent amount in foreign currency;
  • performs several withdrawal operations from accounts per day, the amount of which is equal to or exceeds 15,000 euros or the equivalent amount in foreign currency;
  • performs other monetary operations during the day or enters into transactions which, according to the data available by the financial institution or other obligated entity, are interrelated and the amount of which is equal to or exceeds 15,000 euros or the equivalent amount in foreign currency;
  • n the case referred to in paragraph 3 of this article, performs several monetary transactions per day or enters into transactions, the amount of which is equal to or exceeds 10,000 euros or the equivalent amount in foreign currency;

6.2 Identification Method

Clients may be identified by face-to-face contact or using non-face-to-face identification methods. This also applies to those cases where the Client is represented by another person.

Mudrex only uses a non-face-to-face identification when dealing with its Clients. It can be executed:

  • When information about the Client’s identity is certified by his qualified electronic signature which complies with the requirements of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014.
  • When information about the Client’s identity is confirmed by electronic identification means issued in the European Union and functioning under electronic identification schemes with high or substantial assurance level under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014.
    • Using electronic means, allowing direct view transmission, in one of the following ways:
    • dentity document issued by the government body is captured using video-streaming and identity is confirmed using at least an advanced electronic signature, meeting the requirements referred to in Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014;
    • Client’s facial image and original identity document issued by the government body are captured using video-streaming.
  • A selfie video to certify Liveness of the User.
    As part of the selfie-taking process the user is asked to position their face within an oval on the screen, about 12 inches away, and then move closer. The entire process takes a few seconds, but it allows for the capture of hundreds of frames within that video to definitively assess whether the person is physically present, based on capturing the micromovements and other biometric data that senses liveness. The said verification is done through the help of platform Sumsub and / or Chainalysis for Mudrex.

6.3 Sanction Screening

Following the identification process, the company will then conduct screening for the following:

  • The customer.
  • It’s appointed representatives i.e, natural persons appointed to act on the customer’s behalf.
  • Connected parties of the customer.

The Company uses software services provided by independent service providers such as Chainalysis Inc and Sumsub, for AML/CFT screening purposes (details are set out below under the section “Third Party Service Provider and Agents). All the screenings shall be documented prior to acceptance of the customer.

6.4 Due Diligence Checks

Mudrex ensures to conduct background checks prior to account acceptance, details of which are kept on file as evidence of due diligence and anti-money laundering checks.

In addition to evidence of identity and address Mudrex also considers the circumstances of the customer to determine the appropriate level and type of due diligence to be completed. Based on the information we have about the customer we take steps to understand whether the anticipated value and level of transactions is reasonable for their circumstances. The specific approach taken depends upon the individual circumstances of each customer but generally includes:

For individuals, this includes considering the customer's source of wealth and whether their funds are reasonable for their circumstances. For corporate customers, publicly available accounts and accountants' declarations are reviewed.

  • For individuals: considering the customer's source of wealth and whether their customers are such that they would reasonably be expected to have the funds available to carry out their proposed transactions - requesting additional evidence of wealth and funds where this is unclear. Evidence of source of wealth / funds would also be requested and assessed where they are from a non-standard source (e.g. an inheritance) or where a customers job / income does not appears to have been able to reasonably generate the funds being declared;
  • For corporate customers: reviewing publicly available accounts and / or accountants' declarations to understand how the business generates its income and the level of funds they may have for crypto asset purchases.

We use Chainalysis for our cryptocurrency business and Sumsub for our fiat currency operations. These tools are used for checking the transactions that are being carried out by the customers of Mudrex. They let us know if the transaction is exposed to any suspicious activity (involvement of suspicious wallets, darknet etc). These checks are carried out near real time. In case the tools suspects something for a transaction marked as safe previously, they do flag the associated parties and call out the risk.

Where the evidence and/or explanations provided do not adequately demonstrate the customer's funds/wealth have been sourced legitimately, consideration must be given to whether a suspicious activity report should be made to the MLRO.

We use Chainalysis and Sumsub for checking the transactions that are being carried out by the customers of Mudrex:

  • These tools let us know if the transaction is exposed to any suspicious activity (involvement of suspicious wallets, darknet etc). These checks are carried out near real time. In case they suspects something for a transaction marked as safe previously, they do flag the associated parties and call out the risk.
    • The trail of funds that flow in is traced to check if they have come from historically tainted or flagged sources. In such cases, the funds are kept on hold until additional documents have been collected from the user who has initiated the transfer of funds.
    • The destination for the outflow of funds is monitored against a database of high-risk/tainted wallets/accounts. In such cases, the funds are kept on hold until additional documents have been collected from the user who has initiated the transfer of funds.
    • Continuous monitoring based on various risk parameters is performed to generate a sophisticated risk matrix and score for enabling decision-making by compliance officer(s).
  • These tools help monitor AML & FATF compliance by screening customers against consolidated AML profiles and automating ongoing monitoring, and checking the flow of funds against a dynamic set of rules.

6.5 Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)

Mudrex has appropriate controls and procedures in place to determine whether a customer, beneficial owner, or significant controller of a customer is a Politically Exposed Person (PEPs) and their Relatives and Close Associates (RCAs). Mudrex uses third-party tools, namely, Sumsub and Chainalysis, for this purpose. They use a three-step verification process:

  • Identity Verification: Identification proofs and other basic KYC information are obtained.
  • Address Verification: Proof of address is sought, including bank account statements and utility bills.
  • AML Check Verification: The tool checks whether the customer is a part of any international list.

Any identified PEP/RCA is subject to Enhanced Due Diligence, including determining the source of wealth and source of funds, as well as senior management approval prior to onboarding being completed.

6.6 Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

Mudrex applies enhanced due diligence procedures in the following instances:

High-Risk Clients and High-Risk Products and Services:

  • All High-Risk Clients must be subject to the application of enhanced due diligence. For instance, PEPs and the Clients from the target territories are considered to pose a higher risk of ML/TF and automatically require the application of enhanced due diligence and ongoing monitoring.
  • High-Risk Clients are also those Clients who are assigned to this category after the risk assessment or due to the results of the ongoing monitoring, e.g. the High-Risk Clients are as follows:
  • those who do not correspond to the profile of the typical Client of the Company significantly and after carrying an additional investigation the Employee decided that the Client or its activity raises high ML/TF risk;
  • those whose behavior during the due diligence procedure was suspicious and, therefore, reported to the Officer who after carrying an additional investigation decided to proceed further with the enhanced due diligence;
  • those behaviour during the due diligence procedure were unusual and after carrying an additional investigation it is decided that the Client or its activity raises high ML/TF risk; the Client is from a target territory;
  • the permanent place of residence of the Client – natural person is a territory other than FATF country;
  • the main place of the interests of the Client is situated in the country other than FATF country or in the Target territory;
  • the unusual behaviour of the Client is established that does not correspond to the ordinary course of activities of the Client (e.g. increasing amounts of Transactions);
  • those who were assigned to the category of the High Risk Client due to other reasons that raises high ML/TF risk of the Client.

6.7 Enhanced Due Diligence Measures:

In all of the above instances and apart from normal due diligence procedures, all of the following additional measures must be taken:

  • the additional data, documents or information have to be used to establish the Client’s identity;
  • the supplementary measures have to be undertaken to verify or certify the submitted documents or the confirmatory certification issued by other financial institution has to be required;
  • ensuring that the first payment is carried out through an account held by the Client in his name with a credit institution authorized in the EEA Member State or the third country which imposes equivalent requirements to those laid down in the laws of the Republic of Lithuania;
  • obtaining additional information on the intended nature of the Business Relationship;
  • obtaining information on the source of funds and source of wealth of the Client;
  • obtaining information on the reasons for the intended or performed transactions;
  • perform ongoing monitoring of the Business Relationship with the Client by increasing the number and timing of controls applied, and selecting patterns of Transactions that need further examination.

6.8 Simplified Due Diligence

The simplified due diligence is allowed when the Client represents a low ML/TF risk.

Simplified due diligence cannot apply if there exist circumstances when the conduction of the enhanced.

Client identification is required. Simplified due diligence also cannot apply, if a separate decision of the European Commission has been adopted on this issue.

Where it is established that the simplified due diligence can be used, the Company has to apply measures listed in Annex II.

This notwithstanding, the Company must ensure that supporting documentation is available in the Company’s records and may be made available if required by the relevant authorities.

6.9 Source of Wealth (For Individuals and Corporations)

Mudrex ensures that the security checks in all business relationships are taken with utmost sincerity and seriousness. As part of customer onboarding Mudrex will determine the expected number and value of transactions for the individual / corporate customer. For all customer relationships which require EDD Mudrex will request evidence of source of wealth. In addition, evidence of source of wealth will be requested for all customers, regardless of risk rating, where the expected value of transactions over 12 months exceeds £50,000 (individual) or £250,000 (corporate). These thresholds are reviewed at least annually based on customer activity, AML risk assessments and identified fraud / AML / CTF behaviour.

6.10 Ongoing Monitoring and Review

All transactions are monitored on an on-going basis to identify any which are not in line with the expected behaviour of the customer. This assessment is based on information provided by ChainAnalysis and Sumsub as well as KYC information obtained as part of customer / enhanced due diligence.

Where it is identified that a transaction is not aligned to what is known about the customer's circumstances then additional verification will be carried out. This will include obtaining evidence of the source of funds being used to carry out the transaction and / or other activities as appropriate to the individual circumstances. In such circumstances consideration will be given to whether the customer's risk rating should be reassessed and whether a suspicious activity report should be made to the MLRO. If the customer is unable to provide a satisfactory explanation (with evidence as appropriate) of the source of the funds then the transaction will not be carried out.

KYC information is refreshed periodically based on the risk rating of the customer or immediately where there is any reason for suspicion that the information provided originally was not correct or new information has come to light (e.g. media coverage) which should be considered.

6.11 Storage of Information

Client Identification Records:
