KYC & AML Policy

KYC & AML Policy

Duhani Capital is committed to adhering to the highest standards of compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) regulations. Our KYC/AML Policy is designed to mitigate risks associated with money laundering and terrorism financing, ensuring a secure and transparent financial environment for our clients and stakeholders.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary objective of this Policy is to:

• Prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit financial activities.

• Ensure compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

• Protect the Company from being exploited for unlawful activities.

To achieve these goals, Duhani Capital has established comprehensive procedures for identifying and verifying client identities, monitoring transactions, and maintaining accurate records.

Understanding Money Laundering

Money laundering refers to the process of disguising the origins of funds obtained through illegal activities. The process typically involves three stages:

• Placement: Introduction of illicit funds into the financial system.

• Layering: Transferring or disguising funds to obscure their origin.

• Integration: Reintroducing laundered funds into the legitimate economy.

Duhani Capital strictly prohibits any activities that facilitate money laundering and takes proactive steps to prevent such exploitation of its services.
