S91 AML & KYC Policy
The S91 AML & KYC Policy explains how the Platform applies Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) measures to maintain a secure environment, protect users and help prevent illegal financial activities. These measures may include identity verification, transaction monitoring, risk reviews and additional checks where suspicious activity is identified.
Purpose of the S91 AML & KYC Policy
Prevent Money Laundering
The S91 AML & KYC Policy is intended to help prevent money laundering and reduce the risk of the Platform being used for illegal financial activities.
Prevent Fraud
AML and KYC measures also support fraud prevention by allowing S91 to review identities, transactions and potentially suspicious activity when necessary.
Protect Users and the Platform
S91 applies these measures to help protect users and maintain a secure Platform environment while complying with applicable laws and regulations.
S91 Identity Verification (KYC)
When KYC May Be Required
S91 may request identity verification (KYC) before allowing access to certain Platform services, including withdrawals. Users who do not complete requested verification may have limited access to certain features.
Government-Issued Identification
The KYC process may require a valid government-issued identification document to help verify a user’s identity.
Selfie Verification
S91 may request selfie verification as part of the identity verification process. This can be used together with other supporting information when verification is required.
Proof of Residential Address
Users may be asked to provide proof of their residential address as supporting documentation during KYC verification.
Verification of Payment Ownership
S91 may also require verification of payment ownership. This allows the Platform to review whether relevant payment information is associated with the appropriate user.
Transaction Monitoring
Deposits and Withdrawals
S91 may monitor deposits and withdrawals to identify unusual transaction activity and potential security or compliance concerns.
Buyback Transactions
Buyback transactions may be included in S91’s transaction monitoring activities to help identify suspicious or fraudulent behaviour.
Reward Claims
S91 may review reward claims where necessary as part of its measures for identifying unusual activity or potential abuse.
Unusual Transaction Patterns
Transaction activity may be monitored for unusual patterns that could indicate suspicious, fraudulent or otherwise prohibited behaviour.
Multiple Account Activities
S91 may monitor activity associated with multiple accounts. Such monitoring helps the Platform identify behaviour that may require further investigation or risk review.
Risk Review and Account Measures
Additional Supporting Documents
If suspicious activity is detected, S91 may request additional supporting documents to obtain further information before determining how to proceed.
Delayed Transaction Processing
S91 may delay the processing of a transaction while suspicious activity, verification information or potential risks are being reviewed.
Withdrawal Rejection
A withdrawal may be rejected where S91 identifies circumstances requiring action under its AML, KYC, security or risk review measures.
Temporary Account Freeze
S91 may temporarily freeze an account when suspicious activity is detected. This measure may be used while the relevant account activity is reviewed.
Suspension of Platform Access
Platform access may also be suspended when necessary. These risk measures are intended to protect both users and S91 from suspicious or fraudulent activities.
Record Retention
Transaction Records
S91 may retain transaction records for as long as required under applicable laws or for legitimate business purposes.
Verification Documents
Documents submitted for identity verification may also be retained for the period required by applicable laws or legitimate business purposes.
AML & KYC Compliance
Cooperation with Regulatory Authorities
S91 reserves the right to cooperate with regulatory authorities when required by law. This forms part of the Platform’s approach to applicable AML and KYC compliance requirements.
Fraudulent or Illegal Activities
Users found engaging in fraudulent, illegal or money laundering activities may have their S91 accounts suspended or permanently terminated.
User Cooperation with Verification
When S91 requests verification or supporting documentation, users should provide the required information to complete the relevant review. Failure to complete verification may limit access to certain Platform services.
Updates to the S91 AML & KYC Policy
Policy Changes
S91 may update its AML & KYC Policy from time to time. Users should review the policy periodically to remain informed about the Platform’s current requirements.
Latest Policy Version
The latest version of the AML & KYC Policy will always be made available on the S91 Platform.
