The Group verifies and ascertains the identity of all individuals who open up an account and requires government issued recordable identification to satisfy legislative requirements.

E-Debit Money's Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Group is in continuous development of policies, guidelines, training and risk-assessment tools to meet and expand on national and international requirements to help E-Debit Money and its' employees deal with ever-evolving money laundering and terrorism financing risks. E-Debit Money has implemented robust automated systems and analytical processes to detect, track and assess transactions for suspicious activities to assist enforcement agencies to identify criminal and terrorist money laundering activity.

Definitions

E-Debit Money Inc. is a money remitter and can be classified as aMoney Services Business (MSB) and/or Money Transfer Organization (MTO) and be generally defined as:

A person or company that receives or sends money, either in cash, check or other monetary Instrument, both from within his or her country or to and from any other country via wire, fax, message system or electronic transfer. Any business that does money transfers, regardless of its main business objective, is always considered an MSB.

Money Laundering

Money laundering is the attempt to conceal or disguise the nature, location, source, ownership or control of illegally obtained money. Money laundering is illegal.

There are three stages to Money Laundering:

Placement, Layering, and Integration

  1. The first time funds derived from criminal activities are used in a legitimate money transfer is referred to as Placement.
    • Placement poses the greatest risk to money transfer and remittance businesses:
    • Transactions may be structured to avoid recordkeeping or reporting thresholds.
    • False identification and/or information may be provided.
  2. Creating a series of transactions to hide the first transaction is referred to as Layering.
  3. The return of funds to legitimate activities is referred to as Integration.

Structure of Accountability

  1. The Director of Corporate Security and Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer has the ultimate responsibility to ensure the proper management of E-Debit Money's AML Program.
  2. To this end, the Compliance Group has the responsibility to determine the necessary course of action to ensure adherence to appropriate laws and regulations are managed in an effective and consistent manner for the entire organization.
  3. The "Compliance Group" is responsible for:
    1. Adoption of a written AML program with internal policies, procedures and controls for:
    2. An ongoing employee training program that:
      • Explains policies and procedures
      • Teaches how to identify suspicious activity
    3. Periodic Reviews of the E-Debit Money AML program:
      • The reviews are to take place as needed and be as thorough as needed based on the risks specific to ongoing business and the requirements of the local regulations.

Risk Analysis and Assessment

As part of its AML Program, E-Debit Money continually conducts risk analysis to identify specific criteria of potential money laundering risks. This risk based approach includes the identification of the money laundering and terrorist financing risks (to the extent that such terrorist financing risk can be identified) of customers, categories of customers, and transactions that allow the E-Debit Money to determine and implement proportionate measures and controls to mitigate these risks.

The E-Debit Money measures money laundering and terrorist financing risks using the following categories. The application of risk categories provides a strategy for managing potential risks by enabling the E-Debit Money to subject customers to proportionate controls and oversight. The weight given to these risk categories (individually or in combination) in assessing the overall risk of potential money laundering may vary depending on the E-Debit Money's unique circumstances.

  1. Country or Geographic Risk.

    Country risk, in conjunction with other risk factors, provides useful information as to potential money laundering and terrorist financing risks. Factors that may result in a determination that a country poses a higher risk include: Countries subject to sanctions, embargoes or similar measures issued by the United Nations ("UN") as an example. In addition, some circumstances subject countries to sanctions or measures similar to those issued by bodies such as the UN, but which may not be universally recognized, may be given credence by the E-Debit Money because of the standing of the issuer and the nature of the measures and

  2. Countries identified by E-Debit Money as lacking appropriate AML laws, regulations and other measures ; or
  3. Countries identified as providing funding or support for terrorist activities that have designated terrorist organizations operating within them ; or
  4. Countries identified by credible sources as having significant levels of corruption, or other criminal activity.

    E-Debit Money at its sole determination may deny any transaction to any country that does not have effective AML laws and regulations and are viewed as unacceptable higher risk.

  5. Customer Risk.

    Determining the potential money laundering or terrorist financing risks (to the extent that such terrorist financing risk can be identified) posed by a customer or category of customers is a critical component. E-Debit Money at its sole determination and based on its own criteria may determine whether a particular customer poses a high risk. Categories of customers whose activities may indicate a higher risk include:

    1. Customers conducting their business relationship or transactions in unusual circumstances,
      such as:
      1. Significant and unexplained geographic distance between the E-Debit Money and the location of the customer;
      2. Frequent and unexplained movement of accounts to different institutions; and
      3. Frequent and unexplained movement of funds between institutions in various geographic locations.
    2. The structure or nature of the entity or relationship makes it difficult to identify the true owner or controlling interests of the customer.
    3. "Gatekeepers" such as accountants, lawyers, or other professionals holding accounts at the E-Debit Money, acting on behalf of their clients/cardholders, and when the E-Debit Money places unreasonable reliance on the gatekeeper.
    4. Use of intermediaries within the relationship who are not subject to adequate AML laws and measures and who are not adequately supervised.
    5. Customers that are Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).
  6. Product and Service Risk.

    This category of risk includes the determination of potential risks presented products and services offered by the E-Debit Money, such as risks associated with new or innovative products or services.

  7. Other Risk Variables.

    The E-Debit Money's risk based approach methodology may take into account risk variables specific to a particular customer or transaction. These variables may increase or decrease the perceived risk posed by a particular customer or transaction and may include the:

    1. Purpose of an account or relationship which may influence the assessed risk. Accounts opened primarily to facilitate traditional, low denominated consumer transactions may pose a lower risk than an account opened to facilitate large cash transactions from a previously unknown commercial entity.
    2. Number of transaction by a particular customer or the size of transactions undertaken. Unusual high number or unusually large transactions compared to what might reasonably be expected of customers with a similar profile may indicate that a customer not otherwise seen as higher risk should be treated as such. Conversely, low value transactions involving a customer that would otherwise appear to be higher risk might allow E-Debit Money to treat the customer as lower risk.
    3. Regularity or duration of the relationship. Long standing relationships involving frequent customer contact throughout the relationship may present less risk from a money laundering perspective.
    4. Familiarity with a country, including knowledge of local laws, regulations and rules, in addition to the structure and extent of regulatory oversight, as the result of the E-Debit Money's own operations within the country.

While risk assessments are routinely performed at the inception of a customer relationship, for some customers a comprehensive risk profile may only become evident once the customer has begun making transacting through an account. Thus, the monitoring of customer transactions and ongoing reviews is a fundamental component of the E-Debit Money's risk based approach.

The Compliance Group shall conduct ongoing risk assessment reviews to determine all areas of the E-Debit Money where money laundering or terrorist financing may be created. On an annual basis a certified third party MSB auditor shall conduct a comprehensive review of the E-Debit Money AML/ATF compliance policies and procedures and make a written report to the Board of Directors with respect to its' program guidelines, procedures and reporting.

Risk Assessment reviews

All risk assessment reviews shall include:

  1. An increased focus on the E-Debit Money's operations (products, services, customers and geographic locations) that is more vulnerable to abuse by money launderers and other criminals.
  2. The environment with which the E-Debit Money operates and the activity in its marketplace.
  3. Establishment of processes to identify unusual activities and transactions in each jurisdiction in which they operate, to ensure timely reporting of activities deemed to be reasonably suspicious of money laundering or terrorist activity financing is completed as required in accordance with applicable legislation. Compliance Programs must also meet the local regulatory requirements.
  4. Ensuring that adequate controls are in place before new products are offered;
  5. Informing the Board of Directors of compliance initiatives, identified compliance deficiencies, corrective action taken, and suspicious activity reports filed;
  6. Providing the program continuity despite changes in management or employee composition or structure;
  7. Maintaining all regulatory recordkeeping and reporting requirements, recommendations for AML compliance and providing timely updates in response to changes in regulations;
  8. Implementing and reviewing any related policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the E-Debit Money's AML Program requirements;
  9. Providing adequate controls for higher risk customers, transactions and products as necessary, such as transaction limits or management approvals;
  10. Enabling the timely identification of reportable transactions and ensure accurate filing of required reports;
  11. Providing for adequate supervision of employees that handle currency transactions, timely submission of required regulatory and internal reports, monitoring for suspicious activity, or engagement in any other activity that forms part of the AML Program;
  12. Maintaining and updating of training standards for all E-Debit Money personnel to recognize and react appropriately to unusual or potential money-laundering activity, unusual or potential terrorist financing activity, or activity that is potentially in violation of applicable Economic Sanctions and understand their legal obligations to block or report activity and transactions/attempted transactions as applicable and required by law

Risk Mitigation Strategies

The E-Debit Money has implemented the following risk mitigation strategies:

Customer Identification, Due Diligence and Know Your Customer.

E-Debit Money has implemented a stringent Know Your Customer ("KYC") to enable personnel to form a reasonable belief that it knows the true identity of each customer and, with an appropriate degree of confidence, knows the types of transactions the customer is likely to undertake. In general, this program:

  1. Identifies and verifies the identity of each customer on a timely basis;
  2. Obtains appropriate additional information including the expected nature and level of transactions;

Suspicious Transaction Reporting.

The regulatory and legal requirement to report suspicious transactions or activity by E-Debit Money provides federal authorities the ability to utilize such financial information to combat money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes. When a legal or regulatory requirement mandates the reporting of suspicious activity once a suspicion has been formed, a report must be made by the E-Debit Money.

Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Red Flags

The following are examples of potentially suspicious activities, or "red flags" for both money laundering and terrorist financing. Although these lists are not all inclusive, they are designed to help E-Debit Money personnel to recognize possible money laundering and terrorist financing schemes. However, it is the responsibility of E-Debit Money personnel to report suspicious activities, rather than to determine whether transactions are in fact linked to money laundering, terrorist financing, or a particular crime. The mere presence of a red flag is not by itself evidence of criminal activity. E-Debit Money personnel are to use closer scrutiny to help determine whether the activity is suspicious or one for which there does not appear to be a reasonable business or legal purpose.

Customers Who Provide Insufficient or Suspicious Information.

  1. A customer uses unusual or suspicious identification documents that cannot be readily verified.
  2. A customer provides an individual tax identification number after having previously used a Social Security number.
  3. A customer uses different tax identification numbers with variations of his or her name.
  4. A customer's home or business telephone is disconnected.

Efforts to Avoid Reporting or Recordkeeping Requirements.

  1. A customer tries to persuade an E-Debit Money employee not to file required reports or maintain required records.
  2. A customer is reluctant to provide information needed to file a mandatory report, to have the report filed, or to proceed with a transaction after being informed that the report must be filed.
  3. A customer is reluctant to furnish identification when initiating a reportable transaction.
  4. A business or customer asks to be exempted from reporting or recordkeeping requirements.

E-Debit Money Employee Red Flags

  1. Employee exhibits a lavish lifestyle that cannot be supported by his or her salary.
  2. Employee fails to conform to E-Debit Money recognized policies, procedures, and processes.
  3. Employee is reluctant to take a vacation.

Detection and Monitoring Procedures

The E-Debit Money follows these policies and procedures that are implemented for the detection and prevention of money laundering activities as part of the E-Debit Money's AML Program:

  1. Monitoring suspected money laundering transactions via the E-Debit Money's money laundering report produced by the E-Debit Money's host system computer. The Compliance Group is responsible for reviewing this report to detect possible instances of money laundering activity.
  2. Being aware of customers that open a new account (prepaid card) with cash of more than $5,000. Customers who do are to be asked to substantiate the legitimacy of the funds.
  3. Being aware of customers that are making deposits of $1,000 or more in a day, or $5,000or more in a week on to their card. Customers conducting such activity are to be asked to substantiate the legitimacy of the funds. A customer's card account is to be closed if a customer cannot provide sufficient proof of his or her activity.
  4. Reporting customers that asked to be excluded from Currency Transaction Reporting (CTR) reporting to FINTRAC (via a Suspicious Activity Report - SAR) in addition to their account being closed.
  5. Reporting customers that refuse to provide necessary information for filing a CTR to FINTRAC (via a SAR) in addition to their account being closed.

E-Debit Money procedures for compliance are as follows:

Record Search Procedures. Upon receiving an information request from FINTRAC as described above, the Compliance Group is to search the E-Debit Money's records to determine whether E-Debit Money maintains or has maintained any account for, or has engaged in any transaction with, each individual, entity, or organization named in FINTRAC's request.

    1. Any current account maintained for a named suspect;
    2. Any account maintained for a named suspect during the preceding twelve months; and
    3. Any transaction conducted by or on behalf of a named suspect, or any transmittal of funds conducted in which a named suspect was either the transmitter or the recipient, during the preceding six months that is required under law or regulation to be recorded by the financial institution or is recorded and maintained electronically by the institution.
    4. Report to FINTRAC. If the Compliancy Group identifies an account or transaction identified with any individual, entity, or organization named in a request from FINTRAC, it shall report to FINTRAC, in the manner and in the time frame specified in FINTRAC's request, the following information:
      1. The name of such individual, entity, or organization;
      2. The number of each such account, or in the case of a transaction, the date and type of each such transaction; and
      3. Any Social Security number, taxpayer identification number, passport number, date of birth, address, or other similar identifying information provided by the individual, entity, or organization when each such account was opened or each such transaction was conducted.
    5. Designated Contact Person.

      2. Determining whether to establish or maintain an account, or to engage in a transaction; or
      3. Assisting the E-Debit Money in complying with this requirement.
    7. Additionally, E-Debit Money may not disclose to any person, other than FINTRAC or the Federal law enforcement agency on whose behalf FINTRAC is requesting information, the fact that FINTRAC has requested or has obtained information under this section, except to the extent necessary to comply with such an information request. However, the E-Debit Money is authorized to share information concerning an individual, entity, or organization named in a request from FINTRAC in accordance with this policy. Such sharing shall not disclose the fact that FINTRAC has requested information concerning such individual, E-Debit Money entity, or organization that FINTRAC requires more detail and documents. It is the policy of the E-Debit Money to maintain adequate procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of requests from FINTRAC.

    8. No Other Action.

      It is against E-Debit Money policy to take any action, or to decline to take any action, with respect to an account established for, or a transaction engaged in with, an individual, entity, or organization named in a request from FINTRAC, or to decline to establish an account for, or to engage in a transaction with, any such individual, entity, or organization. Except as otherwise provided in an information request, such a request shall not require E-Debit Money to report on future account opening activity or transactions or to treat a suspect list received as described by the regulation.

Information Sharing

In order for E-Debit Money to comply with its FINTRAC and AML reporting requirements E-Debit Money, under the protection of the safe harbor from liability, may receive, or otherwise share information with any other financial association regarding individuals, entities, organizations, and countries for purposes of identifying and, where appropriate, reporting activities that the individuals suspects may involve possible terrorist activity or money laundering.

  3. Information Sharing Between E-Debit Money and the Federal Government.

    If, as a result of information shared by the E-Debit Money, and E-Debit Money knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that an individual, entity, or organization is involved in, or may be involved in terrorist activity or money laundering, and the E-Debit Money is subject to a suspicious activity reporting, the Director, Corporate Security and Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer will file a Suspicious Activity Report. In situations involving violations requiring immediate attention, such as when reportable violation involves terrorist activity or is ongoing, the Director, Corporate Security and Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer will immediately notify, by telephone, an appropriate law enforcement authority and Senior in addition to filing a Suspicious Activity Report.

It is the intent and policy of the E-Debit Money to have a clear and concise understanding of all customer practices in order to avoid criminal exposure by any "customer" who would use the E-Debit Money's resources for illicit purposes.
