1. Purpose and Scope
This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy applies to all users of Zome Wallet and governs our approach to preventing money laundering (ML), terrorist financing (TF), and other financial crimes. It is designed to comply with applicable AML/CFT (Combating the Financing of Terrorism) regulations.
2. Definitions
- Money Laundering: the process of concealing the origins of illegally obtained funds by passing them through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions
- Terrorist Financing: providing financial support to individuals or groups planning or engaged in terrorism
- KYC (Know Your Customer): the process of verifying the identity of users
- Suspicious Activity: any transaction or behavior that may indicate potential involvement in financial crime
3. Know Your Customer (KYC)
Zome Wallet applies a risk-based approach to customer due diligence. Depending on the features accessed and transaction volumes, users may be required to complete identity verification, which may include:
- Government-issued photo identification (passport, national ID, or driver's license)
- Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement, not older than 3 months)
- Selfie or liveness check for biometric verification
- Source of funds declaration for high-value transactions
We use trusted, industry-standard third-party KYC providers to process identity documents securely. All data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
4. Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited on Zome Wallet:
- Using Zome Wallet to launder proceeds from criminal activity
- Structuring transactions to evade reporting thresholds ("smurfing")
- Conducting transactions on behalf of sanctioned individuals or entities
- Using Zome Wallet for the financing of terrorism or proliferation
- Providing false or misleading information during KYC verification
- Using multiple accounts to circumvent transaction limits or compliance controls
5. Transaction Monitoring
We employ automated transaction monitoring systems that analyze on-chain activity in real time. Our systems flag and review transactions that exhibit risk indicators such as:
- Unusually large or rapid transactions inconsistent with a user's profile
- Transactions to or from addresses associated with illicit activity
- Patterns suggestive of layering or structuring
- Use of high-risk mixing services or privacy protocols for the purpose of obfuscation
6. Sanctions Compliance
Zome Wallet screens all users and transactions against applicable sanctions lists, including those maintained by OFAC (U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control), the UN Security Council, the EU, and other relevant authorities. Users or transactions matched against sanctions lists will be blocked and reported as required by law.
7. Reporting Obligations
Where required by applicable law, Zome Wallet will file:
- Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) with the relevant financial intelligence unit
- Currency Transaction Reports (CTRs) for transactions above applicable thresholds
Users are advised that tipping off — i.e., notifying a subject that they are the target of an investigation — is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions.
8. Record Keeping
We retain KYC records, transaction records, and compliance documentation for a minimum of five (5) years from the end of the business relationship, or longer if required by law. All records are stored securely and protected against unauthorized access.
9. Training and Awareness
All Zome Wallet team members with compliance responsibilities receive regular AML training. We maintain internal procedures and appoint a designated Compliance Officer responsible for overseeing our AML program.
10. User Obligations
By using Zome Wallet, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information during KYC verification
- Use the platform only for lawful purposes
- Cooperate with any compliance review or identity verification request
- Promptly report any suspected financial crime or compliance breach to us
11. Enforcement
Violations of this AML Policy may result in immediate account suspension, termination of services, forfeiture of assets as permitted by law, and reporting to law enforcement or regulatory authorities. We reserve the right to refuse service to any user at our discretion for compliance reasons.
