AML & Sanctions Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2024 at 12 AM

At Cordarium, we are committed to adhering to international regulations concerning anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions. This means certain regimes, individuals, and entities (collectively referred to as Entities) are restricted or prohibited from engaging in commercial activities with us. We, along with our payment processing and payout partners, including Cryptomus, actively monitor lists issued by authorities such as the Czech Government, the UK, the EU, and OFAC. As a result, we may restrict or prevent transactions and payouts to specified Entities as necessary.

These restrictions can include, but are not limited to: limits on cryptocurrency wallets for payments; requirements for additional identity verification; caps on the maximum payout amounts; delays due to extra security checks; and other appropriate measures.

You understand and agree that Cordarium, along with our partners, including Cryptomus, may at any time require you to provide information that will help us verify your identity as a condition for receiving payouts. This is in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We may request details such as your name, address, date of birth, government ID number, taxpayer ID number, phone number, email address, and other relevant information. Verification might involve checking your information against third-party databases or other methods to ensure compliance with legal obligations. We may also need you to provide documents like your passport or driver’s license. If further clarification is needed, we may contact you. We and our partners retain the right to impose fees related to identity verification, screening, and monitoring. If we are unable to obtain the necessary information from you, we may suspend, limit, or deny access to your payouts or the Cordarium Wallet Service, at our discretion.

You agree that your information may be shared with third-party verification services, network partners, government bodies, and other entities for identity verification and to comply with AML and anti-terrorism financing regulations. This may also include transaction monitoring and reporting suspicious activities. You authorize us to use information about the location of the device you use to access Cordarium Wallet Service for assessing your eligibility to receive payouts. Any third party receiving your information is obligated to maintain its confidentiality and use it only for authorized purposes, such as verifying your identity and complying with legal and regulatory requirements.

The ability of any Entity to make purchases or receive payouts can be restricted or terminated at any time, even if such activities were previously allowed. This can occur for various reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Presence of the Entity on a sanctions or AML watch list.
  • Similarities with Entities listed on a sanctions or AML watch list.
  • Suspicious activities suggesting funds might be used for illegal or terror-related purposes.
  • Residence in, association with, or requesting payout to a country considered 'at risk' or under trade sanctions, such as:
  • Belarus
  • Central African Republic
  • Congo
  • Cuba
  • Eritrea
  • Ethiopia
  • Fiji
  • Iran
  • Iraq
  • Lebanon
  • Liberia
  • Libya
  • Myanmar (formerly Burma)
  • North Korea
  • Russian Controlled Crimea
  • South Sudan
  • Sudan
  • Syria
  • Yemen
  • Zimbabwe
  • Any other reason deemed appropriate by us or our payment partners.

Given the dynamic nature of sanctions and AML watch lists, we cannot provide an exhaustive list of all potentially restricted entities.
