Mission of Compliance Department – Al Dahab Exchange

“Compliance is a journey and not a destination”

“Our mission is to ensure implementation of the most effective compliance program within the organization”

Appointment of Compliance Team:

The Partners of Al Dahab Exchange has appointed a complete team CAMS Certified who is responsible for coordinating & overseeing the AML framework within the organization. The company has also appointed an Alternative Compliance Manager and team of well-experienced & specialized Compliance officers to support the Compliance Departments functions.

Know Your Customer – KYC

“Al Dahab Exchange policies against Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing are to ensure that all reasonable and practical measures are taken to identify customers.

We have a clear identity verification procedure for customers as per local and international AML/CFT regulations.

 All identity documents required will be physically checked and copied whenever required. Validity of the documents will be checked before acceptance.”

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is a process of obtaining relevant details of the customer to ensure that they conducts the transactions in line with their personal profile / business activities; thus, ensuring source of fund and purpose are legitimate as well as to ensure that the transaction is in any way not related to Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

Enhance Due Diligence (EDD)

Enhanced Due Diligence is to take additional measures, besides usual Customer Due Diligence, to know more about a customer and to confirm that his/her transactions and funds are legitimate and free from any criminal link. We at Al Dahab Exchange follow the CDD & EDD procedure in order to mitigate, detect and report any ML & TF associated risks.

Risk Based Approach

“Risk Based Approach (RBA) is one of the FATF initiatives and is followed in Al Dahab Exchange. Due Diligence should be risk-based, depending on the location, type of business, ownership, customer base, regulatory status and AML controls of the financial institution or correspondent banking client or business.

RBA assists the financial institutions to make the best use of their limited resources to focus on matters where the money laundering risks are on the higher side.

The risk-based nature of the program recognizes that not all aspects of an institution’s business present the same level of risk.”
