FundingPicks Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy outlines the measures we take to prevent illicit financial activity on our platform. It includes customer verification (KYC), transaction monitoring, and strict compliance with global AML regulations to ensure a secure and transparent trading environment.
1. Purpose
FundingPicks is committed to preventing the use of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit financial activities. This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy outlines the steps we take to detect, mitigate, and report suspicious activities in compliance with applicable laws and international AML standards.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all customers, employees, contractors, and partners of FundingPicks, and covers all services offered through the FundingPicks platform, including evaluation purchases, payouts, and withdrawals.
3. Customer Identification and Verification (KYC)
To maintain a secure trading environment, all customers must complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before becoming eligible for any payouts.
KYC is performed manually via email. Customers are required to send the following documents to the compliance team:
Government-issued ID (front and back)
A selfie holding the ID
Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement dated within the last 3 months)
The compliance team reviews all submissions to verify authenticity and adequacy. Additional documents may be requested in higher-risk cases, such as proof of source of funds. All KYC information is handled confidentially, stored securely, and retained in line with regulatory requirements.
4. Monitoring and Reporting
FundingPicks uses automated systems and manual reviews to monitor account activity and flag potentially suspicious behavior, including:
Abnormal transaction sizes or frequencies
Use of multiple accounts to obscure activity
Frequent deposit or withdrawal attempts without legitimate trading behavior
Mismatched identity or payment credentials
If suspicious activity is detected:
The account may be suspended or terminated
Relevant activity may bereported to appropriate authorities or financial intelligence units (FIUs) in accordance with regulatory obligations
5. Prohibited Activities
Users may not use the FundingPicks platform to:
Launder money
Conceal the origins of illegally obtained funds
Facilitate terrorist financing
Bypass international sanctions or trade embargoes
Use stolen or unauthorized payment methods
Any violation will result in immediate termination and possible legal action.
6. Record Keeping
FundingPicks maintains detailed records of:
KYC documentation
Transaction history
AML investigations and reports
These records are retained securely for a minimum of 5 years, or longer where legally required.
7. Employee Training
All relevant FundingPicks staff are regularly trained on AML obligations, internal escalation procedures, and the detection of red flags relating to suspicious activity.
8.Jurisdictional Restrictions
Our services are generally available worldwide; however, in line with our compliance obligations and risk management framework, we do not onboard or provide services to individuals or entities located in the following jurisdictions:
