PURPOSE

To achieve this, the Company has established policies, procedures, and internal controls designed to comply fully with all applicable AML/KYC regulations and to promote a culture of compliance throughout the organization.

SCOPE

This Policy applies to all Customers and to all transactions conducted through the PayPoint website and platform at https://www.paypointmoney.ca/, and to all Employees of PayPoint.

By creating an account on our platform and using our Services, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to comply with this AML/KYC Policy.

RISK ASSESSMENT

PayPoint conducts a risk assessment of each Customer and associated transactions to evaluate the risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. This assessment takes into account the Customer's background and profile, the nature and purpose of the transaction, and any relevant geographic or industry-specific risk factors. Risk assessments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and updated as circumstances change.

SANCTIONS AND POLITICALLY EXPOSED PERSONS (PEPs)

PEP status is treated as a significant risk factor in our Customer risk analysis. PayPoint screens all Customers against international sanctions lists and PEP databases using third-party screening tools. Customers identified as PEPs, or as being subject to applicable sanctions, are subject to enhanced scrutiny and additional verification procedures in accordance with applicable law and regulatory guidance.

TRANSACTION MONITORING AND CARD VERIFICATION

PayPoint monitors and analyzes Customer transaction patterns on an ongoing basis. Unusual or suspicious activity is treated as an indicator of elevated risk and may trigger a request for additional information or documentation, including evidence of source of funds, the purpose of the transaction, and the intended use of the transferred amounts.

PayPoint requires verification of the Customer's payment card to confirm the identity of the cardholder and ensure legitimate use. Card verification processes may include cardholder information checks, verification of the Card Verification Value (CVV) or Card Verification Code (CVC), Address Verification System (AVS) checks, and two-factor authentication.

CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE (CDD)

As part of our standard CDD process, all Customers are required to provide the following information:

  • Full legal name

  • Date of birth

  • Residential address

  • Telephone number

  • Email address

  • Government-issued identification document (e.g., national ID card or passport)

  • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months)

  • Information about the Customer's business or financial activities, as applicable

We reserve the right to request additional information or documentation at any time as required to fulfil our CDD obligations under applicable law and regulatory guidance.

ENHANCED DUE DILIGENCE (EDD)

In circumstances where a heightened risk of money laundering or terrorist financing is identified, PayPoint may apply Enhanced Due Diligence measures. EDD may involve obtaining supplementary information or documentation about the Customer, the transaction, the source of funds, and the intended purpose of the transfer. EDD is applied in accordance with the risk assessment framework and applicable regulatory requirements.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTING

PayPoint has established internal controls for the identification and reporting of suspicious activity. Where suspicious activity is identified, it is reported to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. All Employees are required to report any suspicious activity they become aware of to the designated Compliance Officer without delay.

RECORD-KEEPING

PayPoint maintains comprehensive records of all Customer information, transactions, and suspicious activity reports in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Records are retained for a minimum period of five (5) years from the date of the transaction or the end of the business relationship, whichever is later. All Customer data is collected and stored in accordance with the PayPoint Privacy Policy.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

All Employees of PayPoint receive training on AML/KYC regulations and our internal compliance policies and procedures. Training is provided at the time of onboarding and on an ongoing basis as required to ensure continued awareness of regulatory obligations and emerging risks.

COMPLIANCE AND POLICY REVIEW

PayPoint regularly reviews and assesses the effectiveness of this Policy and its overall compliance with AML/KYC regulations. This Policy may be updated from time to time. All changes take effect immediately upon publication on our website. Customers are encouraged to review this Policy periodically to remain informed of any updates.

CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE

Non-compliance with our AML/KYC requirements may result in termination of the business relationship with the Customer. Circumstances that may lead to termination include:

  • Failure to Complete CDD:  where a Customer fails to provide required information, provides false or incomplete information, or refuses to cooperate with the CDD process, the Company may terminate the business relationship.

  • Suspicious Activity:  where suspicious activity is detected in a Customer's account that cannot be adequately explained, the Company may terminate the business relationship and report the matter to FINTRAC.
