If you are fundamentally not ready to go through KYC/AML procedures, we recommend that you do not use our Service. KYC/AML may inсlude not only full disclosure of identity (providing identity documents) but also confirmation of the origin of Funds.Please note that the BTC2PAY.ORG service only cooperates with Exchanges that share our views on anti-fraud policies.Compliance with the principles of openness and legality allows the Exchange to ensure a high level of customer security and eliminate the risk of engaging in any type of illegal activity. To this end, we carries out mandatory monitoring and risk assessment of all transactions conducted by the exchange, and identifies suspicious user activity. For these purposes, we uses specially developed AML/CTF monitoring systems and internal procedures aimed at combating money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.If the Administration of Service will have the grounded doubts about the attempt by this or that user to use Service to make money laundering or to fulfill any other illegal operations, the Administration has the right to:
  1. suspend the execution of the user's exchange operation;
  2. request from the user identification documents (passport, ID card, or driver's license);
  3. request from the user a selfie with this document and a sheet on which the current date and signature will be written by hand;
  4. request other information related to payments: through which platform did the funds come to you? If possible, screenshots of the sender's wallet/platform withdrawal history should be provided, as well as links to both transactions in the explorer; for what service you received funds; how much the transaction was, as well as the date and time of its execution; through which contact person did you communicate with the sender of funds? If possible, screenshots of the correspondence with the sender should be provided, where we can see the confirmation of sending funds.
Usually, the User's funds are frozen on the Exchanges and other custodial wallets where the Service accepts the Funds if the transfer was determined as a “High-Risk Score” or for other reasons. In this case, the Service relays the requirements of the Exchange or the Payment systеm. Also, the Service cannot process the order or return Funds that it does not have. Funds are not credited to the account of the Service, but are in custody, stored and waiting for a decision from the Exchange (or other Payment systеm), which in turn is waiting for a decision from its security department, the FBI or the police of the country that imposed sanctions and arrest.
