Customer Identification Process (CIP)
- Identification: All new customers must provide valid, government-issued photo ID (passport, ID card, driving license) and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement).
- Verification: Information provided by customers is verified through reliable, independent sources (electronic verification, document checks).
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
- Risk-Based Approach: Customers are assessed and categorized based on the risk they present. Standard due diligence is applied to all customers, with additional information and monitoring for those posing higher risks.
- Purpose of Account: Understanding the intended nature of the customer’s relationship with Betwinner, including transaction types and volume.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
- For high-risk categories, such as politically exposed persons (PEPs) or those from high-risk jurisdictions, additional information on source of funds and wealth, detailed transaction monitoring, and senior management approval are required.
