Last updated: May 1, 2025. WealthBridge Markets is committed to preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and all forms of financial crime.
This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) Policy sets out the principles and procedures adopted by WealthBridge Markets to prevent our Platform from being used as a conduit for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other forms of financial crime. This policy applies to all clients, employees, and agents of WealthBridge Markets.
WealthBridge Markets is committed to full compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
We have appointed a designated AML Compliance Officer who is responsible for overseeing all aspects of our AML programme, including policy implementation, staff training, suspicious activity reporting, and regulatory liaison.
WealthBridge Markets operates a mandatory KYC verification process for all clients before any investment or withdrawal activity is permitted. Our KYC programme requires:
We apply a risk-based approach to customer due diligence, categorising clients as Standard, Enhanced, or Simplified risk based on multiple risk factors.
Enhanced Due Diligence is applied to the following categories of clients:
EDD measures include requesting additional documentation, conducting enhanced background checks, obtaining senior management approval, and applying ongoing enhanced monitoring.
All client transactions are subject to ongoing automated and manual monitoring to detect suspicious patterns. Our monitoring system flags transactions or account behaviours that may indicate money laundering, including:
The following are examples of behaviours that may indicate potential money laundering and will trigger a review or report:
Where our Compliance Officer determines that a transaction or client activity is suspicious, we are legally obligated to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with the relevant financial intelligence unit (FinCEN in the US, or equivalent authority in other jurisdictions). We are prohibited by law from disclosing ("tipping off") that a SAR has been filed or that a client is under investigation.
Our staff are legally protected from liability for making a SAR in good faith, and are under a strict obligation to report suspicious activity through internal channels promptly.
WealthBridge Markets screens all clients and transactions against applicable sanctions lists, including:
We will not establish or maintain business relationships with individuals, entities, or countries subject to applicable sanctions. Any match against a sanctions list will result in immediate account suspension and notification to the relevant authorities.
We retain all KYC documentation, transaction records, and AML-related records for a minimum period of 5 years from the end of the customer relationship, in accordance with applicable law. In some jurisdictions, longer retention periods may apply. All records are stored securely and are available to regulators and law enforcement upon lawful request.
All WealthBridge Markets employees and agents who interact with clients or handle transactions receive mandatory AML/CTF training on an annual basis. This training covers recognition of suspicious activity indicators, internal reporting procedures, legal obligations, and the consequences of non-compliance. Our AML Compliance Officer also monitors regulatory developments and updates our internal policies and training materials accordingly.
