AML/CFT Policy

1. Introduction

This Global Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Policy (the "Policy") is intended to acquaint users, agents, and clients of Polytech with the fundamental principles and procedures that Polytech Global Solutions Limited (HKSAR BRN 80427335), including its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Polytech" or the "Company"), implements to ensure strict compliance with international and HKSAR-regional legislation in the area of AML/CFT regulation.

Proportionality and Client-Centric Approach
While the Company is fully committed to complying with all statutory requirements of state and regulatory authorities, we adhere to the principle of proportionality. We aim to minimize customer friction by streamlining legal and compliance procedures, executing enhanced inquiries exclusively when justified by risk-based grounds or statutory enforcement directives.

2. Applicable Legal Requirements

This Policy is formulated in alignment with international Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards and in accordance with the jurisdictional requirements of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), specifically incorporating the following legislative acts governing the detection and prevention of money laundering and associated financial crimes:

  • Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615) ("AMLO"): The central HKSAR statutory framework establishing mandates for customer screening, beneficial ownership identification, ongoing transaction risk monitoring, and other core AML/CFT procedures.
  • Industry Regulations: Rules, guidelines, and circulars issued by competent sector regulators, including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and the Customs and Excise Department, among others.
  • United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance (Cap. 575): The statutory act containing prescriptive measures against the financing of terrorism and terrorist activities.
  • United Nations Sanctions Ordinance (Cap. 537): The legislative framework implementing United Nations Security Council sanctions, mandating the rigorous screening of clients, counterparties, and operations against applicable sanctions matrices.
  • International and Local Compliance Standards: Other relevant global frameworks and regional compliance standards.

3. Purposes of this Global AML/CFT Policy

The primary objectives of this Policy are to prevent the utilization of Polytech’s products and services for the legalization of illicit proceeds and the financing of terrorism; ensure the robust application of a risk-based approach; facilitate the timely detection and reporting of suspicious activities; maintain independent internal controls; and ensure meticulous documentation and record-keeping in full compliance with AMLO standards.

4. Risk Assessment, CDD, and KYC Frameworks

When evaluating potential compliance risks, the Company analyzes multiple risk vectors, including user identity and background, country of residence or incorporation, products utilized, the nature and patterns of financial transactions, fiat and crypto onboarding and withdrawal methods, the presence of adverse media, Politically Exposed Person (PEP) or Related/Close Associate (RCA) status, and any potential nexus to sanctioned or high-risk jurisdictions.

In scenarios presenting elevated risk profiles, the Company applies stringent Customer Due Diligence (CDD) or Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) measures, initiating comprehensive KYC/KYB procedures. These procedures encompass client identification, corporate credential verification, source of funds (SoF) and source of wealth (SoW) assessments, and risk rating assignments. Depending on the verification outcomes, the Company reserves the right to mandate enhanced verification, impose operational limits, freeze accounts, or decline service entirely.

To facilitate rigorous risk assessment, the Company may engage specialized external vendors, institutional counterparties, or authoritative commercial and open-source intelligence (OSINT) resources, including: KYC/KYB and AML compliance automation service providers, CDD/EDD vendors, real-time sanctions screening databases, PEP/RCA registries, adverse media aggregators, transaction monitoring systems, blockchain analytics and crypto AML compliance providers, and external AML consulting or outsourcing services.

Risk-Based Approach
In strict accordance with FATF recommendations, we operate a risk-based approach, ensuring that our internal controls, resource allocation, and mitigation measures are strictly commensurate with the specific nature, scope, and intensity of the identified risk.
