Purpose: The purpose of KYC/CDD is to prevent financial services providers from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities.

KYC/CDD policies enable financial services providers to know or understand their customers and their financial dealings.

Overview: The KYC/CDD Policy identifies the specific customer and transaction information collected and recorded, as well as the verification of customer identification and government filings in accordance with regulatory expectations.

Summary: icoDealDeck.com (“icoDealDeck.com”) collects and records certain information from every customer that completes a transaction, utilizes a risk-based approach to verify the identity of certain customers, and records transaction information, customer identification, and verification methods. icoDealDeck.com has implemented a tiered system based on transactional amount to determine, at minimum, the pieces of information and identification to be collected and verified. Additionally, icoDealDeck.com leverages this information to perform OFAC and other watchlist screening of all customers, as well as CTR filings for transactions in excess of $10,000.

In situations where either a customer sends multiple transactions within a single business day, icoDealDeck.com will aggregate the transactions and apply the aggregated amount to its tier system.

Exceptions: icoDealDeck.com will not grant any exceptions to its KYC/CDD Policy.

icoDealDeck.com will not execute the customer-requested transaction under the following circumstances: (1) the customer is unable to provide the requisite information, (2) the customer is unable to present an unexpired government-issued photo identification when required, or (3) icoDealDeck.com is unfamiliar with the type of identification presented.

If a prospective or existing customer either refuses to provide the information described below upon request or appears to have intentionally provided misleading information, icoDealDeck.com will not conduct the transaction and, after considering the risks involved, may block all future customer transactions. In either case, the BSA compliance officer will be notified and determine whether a Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”) is warranted.
