AML Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. Our Commitment

Arqam Broker Ltd. is committed to the highest standards of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) compliance. We maintain robust procedures to prevent our services from being used for illegal purposes.

2. Know Your Customer (KYC)

All clients must complete our KYC verification process before trading. This includes providing a valid government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID, or driving licence) and proof of residential address dated within 3 months. Enhanced due diligence may be required for high-value accounts.

3. Source of Funds

We may request documentation to verify the source of funds deposited into your trading account. This is a regulatory requirement and helps ensure our platform is not used for money laundering. Acceptable documentation includes payslips, bank statements, or business accounts.

4. Suspicious Activity Monitoring

We continuously monitor all transactions for suspicious patterns. Our compliance team reviews flagged transactions and reports suspicious activity to the relevant financial intelligence units as required by law.

5. Deposit and Withdrawal Rules

All deposits and withdrawals must be made using payment methods registered in the client's own name. Third-party deposits are not accepted. Withdrawals are returned to the original deposit method wherever possible.

6. Sanctions Screening

We screen all clients and transactions against international sanctions lists including OFAC, EU, UN, and local Saudi Arabia sanctions. We do not provide services to sanctioned individuals, entities, or jurisdictions.

7. Compliance Officer

Our designated AML Compliance Officer oversees all AML/CTF policies and procedures. For AML-related enquiries, contact compliance@arqambroker.com.
