(v) ZebPay also compiles records and audit and compliance notes to determine the efficacy of its internal audit systems on an ongoing basis, and such notes are submitted to ZebPay’s audit committee on a quarterly basis for this purpose.

6. Client Risk Categorization

6.1 Based on the various factors and risk parameters, the clients shall be categorised into "High", "Medium" and "Low" risk category. Frequency of risk monitoring for High Risk Customer should be Annual, Medium Risk Customer should be Two years and Low Risk Customer should be Three Years.

6.2 Certain clients may be of a higher or lower risk category depending on the circumstances such as the client’s background, type of business relationship or transaction, etc. The illustrative factors for risk profiling is given as under (list is indicative and can be expanded as per business requirements and experience):

(1) Geographical Location and Category of client.

(2) Nature of Business activity

(3) Financial Health vs Trade Volume

(4) Income Range

6.3 Risk based Monitoring approach shall be followed. Broad categories of monitoring and reason for suspicion and examples of suspicious transactions for ZebPay are indicated as under:

(1) Identity of Client

- False identification documents

- Identification documents which could not be verified within reasonable time.

- Doubt over the real beneficiary of the account.

- Accounts opened with names very close to other established business entities

(2) Suspicious Background

Suspicious background or links with known criminals

(3) Multiple Accounts

- Large number of accounts having a common account holder or authorized signatory with no rationale.

- Unexplained transfers between multiple accounts with no rationale

Source of funds/Cryptocurrencies are doubtful

(6) Value of Transactions

Value just under the reporting threshold amount in an apparent attempt to avoid reporting

Inconsistency in the transactions pattern by Customers.

6.4 ZebPay will ensure that information sought from the customer is relevant to the perceived risk, is not intrusive, and is in conformity with the guidelines issued in this regard. Any other information from the customer will be sought separately with the client’s consent and after opening the account.

7. Exception Handling

Exceptions to this Policy is subject to the approval, and at the sole discretion of ZebPay Chief Compliance Officer, or a designated person. All exceptions must be documented, with reasons for the exceptions, including expiration or review date and, wherever necessary, including an action plan and timelines for compliance with the policy.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, screening of all individuals and entities against sanction programs such as for international/local sanction lists e.g UN, OFAC, EU, DFAT shall be undertaken and is mandatory. This is to ensure that the Company does not deal with any sanctioned individuals or entities. No accounts will be opened by ZebPay for any User who appears on the international sanction lists and local country watchlist of the jurisdiction i.e. DFAT that ZebPay business operates.

8. Enhanced Due-Diligence ["EDD"]

8.1 In risk-sensitive instances or where the customer is not present and there is some doubt e.g. due to online applications via its platform, the Company shall apply EDD measures. EDD measures are additional measures to the CDD measures.

8.2 EDD measures are applied in order to ensure that the higher risks presented by certain Customers and transactions are better monitored and managed to avoid any involvement in ML/Funding of Terrorism.

Thus, the Company applies EDD measures when the Operations Department classifies the Customer as high risk and, in all cases, where the customer is not present.

8.3 EDD measures are applied in the following cases:

(a) where the Applicant has not been physically present for identification purposes and classified as high risk subject to the Company's CDD measures;

(b) in relation to cross-border correspondent banking relationships; or

(c) in relation to a Business Relationship or Occasional Transaction with a PEP.

8.4 In the above-mentioned instances, the MLRO and the Designated Employee/s are to be consulted in order to confirm which of the EDD measures indicated hereunder are to be applied whenever the applicant is not present and classified as high risk customer (i.e. for non-face-to-face applicants i.e. online applications).

8.5 In addition to the three (3) specific instances mentioned above, the Company shall also conduct EDD measures in relation to a Business Relationship or a transaction connected to a jurisdiction listed under the public documents issued by the FATF as required in the guidance note on high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions.

(NOTE: the Company restricts these clients at this stage, so the previous provisions are in case these may change in the future).

8.6 Although only three (3) relationships are mentioned above, there may be other situations which, by their nature, can present a higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism. The MLRO shall, therefore, use his/her discretion when applying EDD measures in such situations. The MLRO shall ensure that such measures are applied on a risk-sensitive basis and should be appropriate in view of the higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism.

NON-FACE-TO-FACE APPLICANTS

In addition to the identification and verification of identity measures to be carried out in accordance with the Identification and Verification of the Customer Section, the Operations Department shall apply one (1) or more of the following measures:

  • A) ENSURE THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT OR TRANSACTION INTO THE ACCOUNT IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH AN ACCOUNT HELD BY THE APPLICANT IN THEIR NAME WITH A CREDIT INSTITUTION AUTHORISED UNDER THE BANKING ACT (Act No. 6 of 1959 as amended) OF THE LAWS OF AUSTRALIA OR OTHERWISE AUTHORISED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE OF THE COMMUNITY OR IN A REPUTABLE JURISDICTION.

This measure entails a bank-to-bank transfer from an existing account through which the Customer would have already been identified by the Company. Therefore, the first payment or transaction into the account held by the Applicant may be an electronic card payment only where the electronic card used to affect the payment is linked to an account held by the payer with a credit institution. In such instance, the Customer must provide the service provider’s statement form the same Bank that prove that the credit card used is liked to Customer’s account with that Bank. Prepaid credit cards and E-money payments are not admissible for EDD purposes.

Note: This is the default check and will be incorporated into the checks by Operations.

POLITICALLY EXPOSED-PERSONS ("PEPs")

At the initial on-boarding stage (or if the client has been flagged as a PEP from a new review): The Company shall obtain such information directly from the Applicant (as part of the on-boarding questions) or from other readily available sources such as Experian, World Check, newspapers etc (the Company will automatically check if the Applicant is flagged as a PEP in the Watchlists of Experian on an automated basis). The Board of Directors’ or Senior Management approval is required in those cases where the Customer is categorized as a PEP. The application of EDD measures to PEPs is mandatory as long as the PEP remains entrusted with a prominent public function for a subsequent twelve (12) months from when he ceases to be so entrusted.

9. Ongoing Due Diligence Measures For Transactions On The ZebPay Platform

9.1 ZebPay shall exercise ongoing due diligence with respect to the business relationship with every User and closely examine the transactions in order to ensure that they are consistent with their knowledge of the User, his/her business and risk profile and where necessary, the source of funds.

9.2 ZebPay will also review its due diligence measures and undertake measures to re-verify the identity of a User and obtain further information on a User’s activities, if ZebPay has any suspicions of money laundering or the financing of terrorism.

9.3 All due diligence undertaken by ZebPay is documented, designed to consider all relevant risk factors in determining overall risk and the appropriate mitigation measures, is kept up to date; and will always be available to the relevant authorities and self-regulating bodies.

9.4 ZebPay will verify the identity of Users while carrying out transactions worth at least AUD 10,000 (Ten Thousand Australian Dollars), whether through a single transaction or a series of connected transactions.

9.5 Once a User has participated in transactions of a total value of at least over the course of his/her engagement with the ZebPay platform, or deposits or transacts in an amount of at least AUD 10,000 (Ten Thousand Australian Dollars) or equivalent foreign currency on the ZebPay Platform, ZebPay will also conduct ‘chain analysis’ to identify the relevant public address for such User and earmark such User as either as ‘high risk’, ‘medium risk’, or ‘low risk’ based on parameters such as the use of cryptocurrencies by such Users at online gambling websites, darknet websites, etc.

This limit AUD 10,000 (Ten Thousand Australian Dollars) or equivalent foreign currency may be revised by ZebPay from time to time, based on ZebPay’s determination of appropriate thresholds in accordance with ongoing compliance measures, and if so required under applicable Law.

9.6 ZebPay will, in particular, monitor the following categories of transactions, and will conduct due diligence on an ongoing basis on them:

(1) large, complex transactions, including those with unusual patterns that are inconsistent with a User’s normal / expected level of activity, without an apparent economic rationale or legitimate purpose; and

(2) transactions that involve high account turnover, inconsistent with the size of the balance ordinarily maintained by a User.

9.7 ZebPay will require Users to specify a bank account in the User’s own name (“the User Bank Account”) to which ZebPay will credit any funds payable to the User pursuant to the User’s trading activity on the ZebPay Platform. Users may request for ZebPay, from time to time, to change their User Bank Account, provided always that ZebPay will only entertain requests that are (i) in writing, (ii) specify a new bank account that is in the name of the User, and (iii) subject to ZebPay being satisfied, at its sole discretion, that the changing of bank account does not otherwise contravene ZebPay’s AML Policy. Otherwise, Users are hereby notified that as a matter of strict policy ZebPay will not entertain any request to credit the User’s funds into a bank account other than the User Bank Account.

9.8 As Users are not face-to-face customers of ZebPay, ZebPay may be required to undertake enhanced due diligence, including certification of all documents provided by the Users, calling for additional documents whenever necessary, and requiring that the first payments made by such Users be effected through the User’s KYC-compliant account with a bank. Any such requirements, as may be imposed under Applicable Law, will be incorporated into this AML Policy, and ZebPay reserves the right to update the AML Policy for this purpose.

9.9 ZebPay’s staff are trained in ZebPay’s due diligence and anti-money laundering measures, as well as all requirements prescribed under Applicable Law for this purpose and may be contacted at help@zebpay.com if any User has questions or concerns about any of measures contained in this AML Policy.

10. SUSPICIOUS MATTER REPORT ("SMR")

10.1 In the event of knowledge or suspicion of ML/ Funding of Terrorism, and any knowledge, suspicion or reasonable grounds to suspect that the funds used in a transaction are the proceeds of a crime, the Company shall proceed as follows:

(i) the Company’s employee who has knowledge or suspicion of such ML/ Funding of Terrorism, shall report this matter to the MLRO.

(ii) once the MLRO has received all information relating to the knowledge or suspicion reported by the employee, he shall, together with the assistance of the Designated Employee/s, carry out a further investigation into the matter in order to decide whether such report is to be submitted to AUSTRAC as an SMR.

(iii) if the MLRO decides not to submit the report, he shall prepare a detailed report explaining his findings and the reasons for his decision and such report shall be kept in the Company’s records and retained for a period of seven (7) years in accordance with the Record Keeping Section above.

(iv) if on the other hand, the MLRO decides to submit the report to AUSTRAC, he shall complete the report in the form prescribed by AUSTRAC. This form may be filed online through the AUSTRAC website indicated above.

10.2 Any disclosures to AUSTRAC are to be made as soon as practicable, but in no circumstance, later than 24 hours after forming the relevant suspicion if the suspicion relates to terrorism financing; or three(3) business days after forming the suspicion in all other cases.

10.3 The time period mentioned in paragraph 10.2 for reporting a suspicious matter starts when the Company forms a 'suspicion on reasonable grounds'. This may occur at any time during the enquiry, request, proposal, or commencement stages of providing a designated service to the customer.

11. Obligation On The Part Of The User

The User hereby agrees and undertakes to not indulge, assist, abet and encourage in any manner whatsoever, in any activity involving money laundering or financing of any illegal or unlawful activities.

12. Retention of Records
