AXEN CAPITAL LTD is committed to the highest standards of the Anti-Money

Laundering (AML) compliance and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF). The aim of the
Companies Anti Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Policy is to actively prevent
the risks of these matters. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and
money laundering activities, law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and
record information that identifies each person opening an account. We are under the
obligation to report suspicious activities of clients relevant to money laundering.
Money laundering – the process of converting funds, received from illegal activities (such
as fraud, corruption, terrorism, etc.), into other funds or investments that look legitimate
to hide or distort the real source of funds.
THE PROCESS OF MONEY LAUNDERING CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE
SEQUENTIAL STAGES:
● Placement. At this stage, funds are converted into financial instruments, such as
checks, bank accounts, and money transfers, or can be used for purchasing
high-value goods that can be resold. They can also be physically deposited into
banks and non-bank institutions (e.g., currency exchangers). To avoid suspicion
by the company, the launderer may as well make several deposits instead of
depositing the whole sum at once, this form of placement is called smurfing.
● Layering. Funds are transferred or moved to other accounts and other financial
instruments. It is performed to disguise the origin and disrupt the indication of the
entity that made the multiple financial transactions. Moving funds around and
changing in their form makes it complicated to trace the money being laundered.
● Integration. Funds get back into circulation as legitimate to purchase goods and
services.
AXEN CAPITAL LTD adheres to the principles of Anti-Money Laundering and actively
prevents any actions that aim or facilitate the process of legalizing of illegally gained
funds. AML policy means preventing the use of the company’s services by criminals,
with the aim of money laundering, terrorist financing or other criminal activity.
To prevent money laundering, AXEN CAPITAL LTD neither accepts nor pays cash
under any circumstances. The company reserves the right to suspend any client’s
operation, which can be regarded as illegal or, may be related to money laundering in
the opinion of the staff.
