General

In order to ensure the compliance with international trade standards we operate exclusively in accordance with the legislation on combating illicit money laundering and countering terrorist financing. To monitor the accordance with legal requirements and recommendations of the FATF, we have established a Compliance department developing Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (AML / KYC) measures and procedures, obligatory for all employees and customers and determining the policy of engagement with any person who intends to become our customer.

The Compliance Department ensures that all the operations of the Company are consistent with the international standards to combat money laundering and all the documents provided by the customer are up-to-date and comply with relevant legal requirements.
