AML and KYC Policy: Ensuring Secure and Transparent Trading on Pocket Option
Our Commitment to Compliance
At Pocket Option, we uphold a strict adherence to international Anti Money-Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. These measures are integral to ensuring a secure trading environment for our clients and preventing any misuse of our platform for illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, or fraud.
What is Money Laundering?
Money laundering refers to the process of disguising the origin of illicitly obtained funds to make them appear legitimate. Typically, this involves three key stages:
Illicit funds are introduced into the financial system, often in small amounts to avoid detection.
The funds are transferred between multiple accounts or entities, making their origins more difficult to trace.
Laundered money is reintroduced into the economy as seemingly legitimate funds.
Pocket Option is dedicated to implementing proactive strategies to identify and disrupt any such attempts on our platform.
AML and KYC Measures at Pocket Option
We have implemented a robust framework to detect and prevent suspicious activities, ensuring compliance with AML and KYC standards:

- Transaction Monitoring: Our system continuously monitors transactions to detect irregular patterns or activities that may indicate money laundering.
- Training Programs: All Pocket Option employees undergo regular training to stay informed about the latest AML and KYC protocols.
