Compliance & KYC
Commodity trading attracts fraud. We verify every buyer, seller and intermediary before an offer is issued, and we expect the same from our partners.
01
KYC on both sides
Identity, registration and signing authority checked for buyer and seller.
02
Anti-money laundering
Source of funds and ownership structure reviewed before contract.
03
Sanctions screening
All parties screened against EU, UN and US sanctions lists.
04
Anti-bribery
No payments or gifts to obtain or keep business.
