Tradeiators Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

1. Purpose and Scope

This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy establishes the framework through which Tradeiators, operated by SAL Innovations (Malta), prevents the use of its platform for money laundering, terrorist financing, or any other financial crime.

This Policy applies to all services offered by Tradeiators, including but not limited to:

  • Deposits and withdrawals of funds,

  • Payment of entry fees for CFD trading battle competitions,

  • Participation in reward and bonus programs,

  • Any other financial activity conducted through the platform.

All employees, management, and users of Tradeiators are expected to comply with this Policy.

2. Objectives

The objectives of this AML Policy are to:

  • Establish and maintain effective procedures to prevent and detect money laundering or suspicious activities;

  • Ensure proper identification and verification of all users through Know Your Customer (KYC) processes;

  • Protect Tradeiators, its users, and the financial system from being exploited for illicit purposes;

  • Ensure timely escalation of suspicious activities to the Compliance Department for review and, if appropriate, reporting to relevant authorities.

3. Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

Tradeiators conducts identity verification and due diligence on all users:

  1. Initial Registration: All users must register on the platform and confirm that they are at least 18 years old.
  2. Standard Verification: At the time of account opening or before certain thresholds are reached, Tradeiators may request:

    • A valid government-issued identification document (passport, national ID card, or driver's license),

    • Proof of address (e.g., recent utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued correspondence),

    • Any additional information necessary to confirm the user's identity.

  3. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): If an account appears suspicious, high-risk, or inconsistent with expected behavior, additional documentation and verification may be required. This may include source of funds, proof of income, or other financial documents.

Failure to provide requested documents may result in account suspension, restriction of services, or account closure.

4. Ongoing Monitoring

Tradeiators continuously monitors user accounts and transactions to identify unusual or suspicious activity. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Sudden large deposits or withdrawals inconsistent with a user's profile,

  • Frequent deposits and immediate withdrawals with little or no participation in battles,

  • Use of multiple accounts by the same individual,

  • Attempts to obscure the source or ownership of funds.

The Compliance Department has the authority to suspend, freeze, or close accounts pending investigation if suspicious activity is detected.

5. Reporting Suspicious Activity

  • All employees and system monitoring tools are required to identify and escalate suspicious activity.

  • Suspicious activities are reported internally to the Compliance Department.

  • The Compliance Department will investigate, document, and determine whether the matter should be reported to the relevant legal or regulatory authorities.

  • Tradeiators is not obligated to disclose to the user if or when such a report has been filed, in order to comply with confidentiality obligations.

6. Record Keeping

Tradeiators maintains records of:

  • User identification documents,

  • Transaction history,

  • Communication and complaints related to suspicious activity.

These records will be retained for a minimum of five (5) years from the date of the transaction or account closure, whichever is later.

7. Training and Awareness

Employees and relevant staff receive regular AML training to ensure awareness of:

  • AML obligations,

  • Red flags for suspicious transactions,

  • Procedures for reporting suspicious activity.

8. Responsibilities

  1. Users are responsible for providing accurate and truthful information when requested.
  2. Employees must follow this policy and report concerns to the Compliance Department.
  3. The Compliance Department is responsible for:

    • Overseeing AML compliance,

    • Reviewing suspicious activities,

    • Deciding on escalation to relevant authorities,

    • Maintaining this Policy in line with best practices and legal obligations.

9. Policy Review

This Policy will be reviewed periodically and may be updated at the discretion of Tradeiators' management to reflect changes in legal requirements, industry standards, or the company's business model.
