KYC / AML Policies

Commitment to Compliance
FortressFX Ltd is committed to the highest standards of compliance against money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF). Our policy is designed to prevent risks related to illegal activities and to comply with international laws. We are legally obligated to obtain, verify, and record information identifying each person who opens an account, and we must report suspicious activity relevant to money laundering.

Understanding Money Laundering
Money laundering is the process of converting funds from illegal activities into legitimate-looking assets. It typically involves three stages:

  • Placement: Introducing illegal funds into the financial system via deposits, purchases, or money transfers.

  • Layering: Moving funds across accounts and instruments to obscure their origin.

  • Integration: Reintroducing the cleaned funds as legitimate assets or investments.

FortressFX Ltd actively prevents any attempt to use its services for laundering funds, terrorist financing, or related criminal activities. We do not accept or pay in cash under any circumstances.

Company Procedures
FortressFX Ltd verifies the identity of all clients and applies measures consistent with AML/CTF laws and regulations. Compliance is ensured through:

  • Know Your Client (KYC) and due diligence

  • Monitoring customer activity

  • Maintaining detailed records

Know Your Customer (KYC)
All clients must complete a verification procedure before using our services. Enhanced due diligence is applied to clients from high-risk jurisdictions.
