AML
Registered Digital Currency Exchange with AUSTRAC.
PIPTLE Wealth Management Pty Ltd is a Registered Digital Currency Exchange with AUSTRAC and are bound by Australian law to ensure we provide a service that does not facilitate money laundering or terrorism financing.
AUSTRAC requires PIPTLE to have an AML Program in place before operations can take place. PIPLTE has provided AUSTRAC with the AML Policy. The AML Policy includes various programs such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) and Fraud Prevention. The AML Program is designed to help monitor, detect, prevent, and report financial crimes and suspicious activities.
These programs are developed with a Risk based approach that ties to Piptles overall Risk Management approach.
- AUSTRAC’s reporting guidelines, require all events suspected to be involved with Money Laundering, Proceeds of Crime, Counter- Terrorism Financing or Fraud to be reported. Piptle will report as per AUSTRAC guidelines.
- Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are in place in line with Australian regulations to identify users of the exchange, and their transactions are recorded as per compliance requirements.
