AML / KYC Policy

We identify and verify the contracting entity, its authorised representatives and its ultimate beneficial owners using registry documents and government-issued identification.

Enhanced measures apply to higher-risk situations, including politically exposed persons, complex ownership chains, high-risk jurisdictions and minerals originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

Counterparties, owners, representatives, vessels and destinations are screened against applicable sanctions and restricted-party lists at onboarding and on an ongoing basis.

Where required by risk assessment, buyers evidence the origin of settlement funds. Third-party payments and unexplained routing are not accepted.

Transactions are monitored for unusual patterns. Suspicious activity is reported to the competent authority where required by law, and records are retained for the statutory period.

We refuse or terminate relationships where due diligence cannot be completed, where documentation is inconsistent, or where the transaction structure prevents effective compliance oversight.
