QTRDX — Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

QTRDX is committed to preventing the use of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, or any form of financial crime. We operate in alignment with global AML frameworks, including guidance from the UK Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG) and international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

This policy outlines the controls and procedures QTRDX follows to detect, deter, and report suspicious activity.

1. AML Principles at QTRDX

QTRDX maintains a comprehensive AML program built around the following core pillars:

1.1 Customer Identification & Verification

Before accessing trading services, all users must submit valid documentation verifying:

• Identity

• Address

• Beneficial ownership (for entities)

Enhanced checks may be required for higher-risk profiles.

1.2 Record Maintenance

All identification records, verification data, and transaction history are securely stored for the duration required by applicable laws.

1.3 Screening Against Global Watchlists

Users are screened against international databases to ensure they are not:

• Sanctioned individuals

• Politically exposed persons (PEPs) requiring enhanced review

• Known or suspected participants in terrorism or organized crime

1.4 Transparency of Use

Customers are informed that the information they provide may be used to verify identity, monitor transactions, and satisfy regulatory obligations.

1.5 Transaction Monitoring

QTRDX continuously monitors:

• Funding activity

• Withdrawal patterns

• Unusual transfers

• High-risk or inconsistent trading behaviour

Unexplained or suspicious activity is escalated to compliance immediately.

1.6 Accepted Funding Methods

To reduce AML exposure, QTRDX does not accept:

• Cash deposits

• Money orders

• Third-party payments

• Transfers from unregulated remittance services

All withdrawals must return to the original funding source unless regulatory rules require otherwise.

2. Understanding Money Laundering

Money laundering involves disguising the origin of criminal proceeds so they appear legitimate. It typically occurs in three stages:

1. Placement — introducing illicit funds into the financial system

2. Layering — moving funds through multiple accounts or transactions to conceal their origin

3. Integration — re-entering the funds into the economy as seemingly lawful assets

Trading accounts can be misused during the layering stage, especially through rapid transfers, circular movements, or trades designed to obscure the source of funds.
QTRDX employs controls to prevent such activity.

3. QTRDX AML Controls

To protect the platform and its customers, QTRDX:

• Conducts identity verification before account activation

• Performs ongoing monitoring of all account activity

• Flags and investigates transactions inconsistent with a customer’s profile

• Files reports with relevant authorities when suspicious activity is detected

• Restricts or terminates accounts engaged in illicit behaviour

• Ensures staff receive continuous AML training

• Implements independent audits and compliance oversight

These safeguards ensure the platform remains secure and compliant across jurisdictions.

4. Regulatory Awareness

All customers are expected to understand that financial institutions must:

• Prevent the misuse of accounts

• Detect abnormal or high-risk activity

• Report suspicious behaviour to the appropriate authorities

Users who attempt to circumvent controls may have their access restricted or permanently revoked.
