2.3. Compliance Officer

3. Risk-Based Approach (RBA)

Vertex 采用 Risk-Based Approach 进行 compliance。我们不对所有客户一视同仁;resources 集中在风险最高的领域。

3.1. Risk Scoring

每位客户在注册时被分配 Risk Score(Low、Medium、High)。该 score 根据以下因素动态计算:

🌍Country Risk

居住在 FATF 认定为 high-risk 或 non-cooperative 的 jurisdictions。

👤Customer Risk

Legal entity structure、occupation 及 political exposure (PEP status)。

📊Product Risk

High-volume cryptocurrency deposits 或 complex ownership structures。

我们利用 InTouch intelligence data 自动化此 risk scoring process,确保 risk ratings 在 global sanctions lists 或 client circumstances 变化时实时更新。

4. Know Your Customer (KYC) 与 Due Diligence

Vertex 使用 Sumsub 作为 identity verification 的主要 technology partner。我们通常不接受通过 email 提交的 physical documents;所有 verification 均以 digital 方式进行以确保 authenticity。

4.1. Standard Due Diligence (SDD)

对于 low-to-medium risk Retail Clients,我们采用 SDD measures:

Identification & Verification Process

1
Identification

收集 Full Name、Residential Address、Date of Birth 及 Nationality。

2
Document Scan

对 Government-issued ID(Passport、National ID、Driver's License)进行 automated OCR 和 forensic analysis,以检测 forgeries 或 tampering。

3
Biometric Liveness

3D facial scan 以确认申请人为 real human 并与 ID 照片匹配(防止 deepfakes 和 spoofing)。

4
Proof of Address

通过 utility bill、bank statement 或 Sumsub Geolocation services(在 strictly regulated 情况下)进行 verification。

4.2. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

对于 High-Risk clients、Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) 或来自 high-risk jurisdictions 的客户,EDD 为 mandatory。这包括:

  • Source of Funds (SoF): 证明 specific funds 来源的证据(例如显示 salary 的 bank statement、property sale)。
  • Source of Wealth (SoW): 证明客户如何 over time 积累 total wealth 的证据。
  • Senior Management Approval: 未经 Compliance Officer 书面 sign-off,账户无法激活。

7. Reporting of Suspicious Transactions

7.1. Internal Reporting

Any employee who suspects money laundering must immediately file an Internal Disclosure Report to the MLRO。Failure to report is a criminal offence。

7.2. External Reporting (STR)

  • Timing:The STR must be filed as soon as is reasonably practicable。
  • Tipping Off:It is a criminal offence to inform the client or any third party that an STR has been filed or that an investigation is underway。Vertex enforces strict「No Tipping Off」protocols。

Warning:Tipping off a client or third party about an STR filing or investigation is a criminal offence under Mauritius law。
