What are KYC checks?
We adhere to all required Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) obligations. This protects our Business and Customers from engaging in financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing when using the Spenda services. We have implemented Two Step Authentication (2SA) security across our platform to prevents risks such as unauthorised access on your account and helps keep your data and/or account safe and secure.
What is AML compliance?
Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions.
Where applicable, Spenda will follow all AML/CTF Compliance with laws in the jurisdictions we do business in, and when required, we will require our customers to respond to any requests for information to be onboarded or meet ongoing due diligence to adhere to these obligations.
How does Spenda prevent fraud?
Spenda will carry out or utilise all necessary checks to prevent any fraudulent transactions. This will include services such as 3D Secure, which is a service to ensure that the Cardholder is whom they claim to be. This helps reduce the liability to the merchant for any fraudulent transactions.
