3. Monitoring Transactions

The Users are known not only by verifying their identity like who they are but, also, by analyzing their transactional patterns like what they do. Therefore, BELPAY.IO relies on data analysis as a risk-assessment and suspicion detection tool. We performs a variety of compliance-related tasks, including capturing data, record-keeping, filtering, investigation management, and reporting.

System functionalities include:

1) Daily check of Users against recognized “black lists” (e.g. OFAC), aggregating transfers by multiple data points, placing Users on watch and service denial lists, opening cases for investigation where needed, sending internal communications and filling out statutory reports, if applicable;

2) Case and document management.

With regard to the AML/KYC PolicyBELPAY.IO will monitor all transactions and it reserves the right to:

  • ensure that transactions of suspicious nature are reported to the proper law enforcement through the Compliance Officer;
  • request the User to provide any additional information and documents in case of suspicious transactions;
  • Suspend or terminate User’s Account when BELPAY.IO has reasonably suspicion that such User engaged in illegal activity.

The above list is not exhaustive and the Compliance Officer will monitor Users’ transactions on a day-to-day basis in order to define whether such transactions are to be reported and treated as suspicious or are to be treated as bona fide.

4. Risk Assessment

BELPAY.IO, in line with the international requirements, has adopted a risk-based approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. By adopting this approach, BELPAY.IO is able to ensure that measures to prevent or mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing are commensurate to the identified risks. This will allow resources to be allocated in the most efficient ways. The principle is that resources should be directed in accordance with priorities so that the greatest risks receive the highest attention.
