KYC AML Policy

CDD’s major part is identification and verification which involve:

• the collection of specific information about the client, including its ownership and key principals (identification); and

• gathering evidence from reliable sources that verifies the accuracy of the information collected (verification).

During the implementation of the preventive measures prescribed by the relevant laws, Revenue Capital studies the transaction prepared, concluded and/or executed within the framework of the business relationship in order to determine whether it corresponds to the information about the client known to it, the client's commercial or professional activity and the client's risk level, and, if necessary - the client's property, cash and the origin of the convertible virtual asset, as well as ensures that identification data and other information (document) obtained by implementing preventive measures are updated with appropriate periodicity.

The preventive measures prescribed by the relevant laws and our procedures are carried out in the following cases:

• when establishing a business relationship;

• when making a one-time transaction, if the amount of a single transaction or the total amount of related transactions exceeds 15,000 GEL or the equivalent of 15,000 GEL in foreign currency, and in the case of concluding a one-time transaction related to the service of a convertible virtual asset - 1,000 US dollars, 1,000 EUR or 3 000 GEL;

• when there is one-time transfer of funds, if the amount of one-time transaction or the total amount of related transactions exceeds 3,000 GEL or the equivalent of 3,000 GEL in foreign currency;
