AML and KYC Policies

Introduction and Commitment

At Cikaboom, combating money laundering (AML) and implementing strict Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are at the core of our internal policies. As a responsible company operating in compliance with international standards and French regulations, we have established robust mechanisms to prevent illicit activities and ensure the integrity of our transactions.

1. Legal and Regulatory Framework

We strictly adhere to European directives and national laws designed to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Our KYC procedures are designed to identify and verify the identity of our customers in accordance with legal requirements. This includes:

  • Collecting accurate and up-to-date personal information.
  • Verifying identity through official documents.
  • Continuously monitoring transactions to detect any suspicious activity.

2. Customer Identification Process (KYC)

When opening an account or placing your first order, we require customers to provide detailed information, including:

  • Full name, address, date of birth.
  • A valid identity document (passport, national identity card) and proof of residence.
  • Additional information for transactions involving significant amounts.

This data is processed confidentially and securely, used solely for verifying customer identity and ensuring compliance with legal obligations.

3. Transaction Analysis and Monitoring

Every transaction on our site is subject to automated monitoring. Our advanced analytical systems detect anomalies or transactions that might indicate potential money laundering. If suspicious activity is identified, the following measures are taken:

  • Temporary blocking of the transaction.
  • A thorough review by our compliance team.
  • Notification to the appropriate regulatory authorities if necessary.

This proactive approach ensures constant vigilance and swift action to protect both our customers and the integrity of our operations.

4. Cooperation with Authorities

We collaborate closely with financial regulators and law enforcement agencies to exchange relevant information and participate in investigations when suspicious activities are detected. This cooperative effort strengthens our ability to prevent and combat money laundering.

5. Training and Awareness

All our employees receive regular training on the risks of money laundering and the best practices for KYC. This training ensures that our team is well-informed about potential risks and equipped with the tools needed to identify any unusual behavior. Employee vigilance is a crucial component in preventing fraud.

6. Confidentiality and Data Security in KYC

The information collected as part of our KYC procedures is strictly confidential. It is stored in secure databases, accessible only to authorized personnel. We implement rigorous technical and organizational measures to protect this data from unauthorized access or breaches.

7. Compliance Measures and Audits

Our AML and KYC policies are subject to regular internal and external audits to ensure that all procedures meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices. These audits help us identify potential improvements and reinforce our preventive measures.

8. Disciplinary Actions and Sanctions

In the event of non-compliance with our KYC procedures or detection of suspicious activities, internal sanctions are enforced. These disciplinary measures ensure the robustness of our system and help prevent negligence or internal fraud.

9. Transparency and Communication

We are committed to keeping our customers informed about the measures implemented under our AML/KYC policy. Clear and detailed explanations of our procedures are available on our website, enhancing trust and transparency in our operations. We welcome any questions regarding these procedures.
