AML/CTF Commitment

Money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) continue to pose substantial challenges to the integrity and stability of the crypto-asset sector. Bintense acknowledges the serious risks that ML and TF activities present to its business operations, reputation, and the wider financial ecosystem. In alignment with applicable legislative frameworks of the Commonwealth of Australia, the Company has developed and implemented a robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) Policy.

This Policy is grounded in binding legal obligations, supervisory expectations, and internationally recognised standards and best practices. Through this framework, Bintense ensures that effective controls, monitoring mechanisms, and risk-based measures are in place to detect, prevent, and report any suspicious activities. The Company remains firmly committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and regulatory compliance in the provision of its crypto-asset services.

AML/CTF Policy Overview

The AML/CTF Policy establishes internal procedures and control measures for identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating ML/TF risks. It includes client due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), ongoing due diligence (ODD), sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and reporting of suspicious activities.

Customer Responsibilities and Obligations 

Bintense is committed to ensuring a secure and compliant buy and sell services environment in line with AML/CTF regulations of Australia. To maintain the integrity of our services, all customers must adhere to the following operational rules:

– No Cash Purchases or Sales: Bintense does not accept cash for performing the Exchange Order. All transactions must be conducted using digital means to ensure traceability and transparency.
– No Third-Party Transactions: Bintense does not accept deposits from third parties into a user’s profile, nor does it allow profile management by third parties. Additionally, we do not support joint or shared profiles, ensuring that all accounts remain strictly personal and private.
– Service Restrictions to Personal Wallets Only: Bintense provides buy and sell services exclusively to customers’ personal wallet addresses. Transactions to or from third-party wallets are prohibited.
– Documentation Requirements: Bintense maintains strict documentation standards. All customers are required to provide accurate and legitimate identification and supporting documents for verification purposes.
– Right to Refuse Transactions: Bintense reserves the right to refuse any transaction where there is suspicion of ML or TF or where required under applicable laws.
– Transactions will be monitored for suspicious activity, and the Company retains the right to act in accordance with its regulatory obligations.

Suspicious Activity Reporting: In accordance with the AML/CTF Act and applicable Australian laws, the Company is not obligated to inform customers if their behaviour is reported as suspicious to the relevant authorities. Any suspicious activity may be reported to AUSTRAC, and actions may be taken without prior customer notification, in accordance with anti-tipping off obligations.

Know Your Customer (KYC) and Due Diligence

Bintense applies a structured and risk-based KYC process for all clients in accordance with the AML/CTF Act and applicable Australian regulatory requirements. We are required to verify the identity of every individual authorised to transact on our platform. Customers must complete an identity verification process, which may include biometric checks comparing identification documents to a live image. This process may be supported by trusted external providers. Where verification is inconclusive, additional information may be requested. If the Company is unable to verify the identity of a customer, access to services will be restricted or denied. Ongoing due diligence, including monitoring and periodic reviews, is performed based on each customer’s risk profile. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is applied in higher-risk situations, including Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), adverse media, and high-risk jurisdictions. Business relationships shall not be established or maintained where risk is deemed unacceptable. This approach ensures the integrity and compliance of our operations.

Sanctioned Countries and High-Risk Jurisdictions

Sanctions Compliance: The Company complies with sanctions regimes applicable under Australian law, including those administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), as well as United Nations sanctions implemented in Australia. The Company adheres to all applicable international sanctions, including those imposed by the European Union, United Nations, and other relevant authorities.

High-Risk Jurisdictions: The Company considers jurisdictions identified by FATF and AUSTRAC as high risk or European Commission, and those with weak regulatory frameworks. Customers from such jurisdictions may be subject to enhanced due diligence or restrictions.

Suspicious Activity and Transactions: Transactions flagged as suspicious or involving high-risk jurisdictions will be subject to further review and may be suspended or reported to relevant authorities.

Transaction Monitoring

As part of its AML/CTF framework, the Company actively monitors customer activity to detect potentially suspicious behaviour or transactions. Where suspicion arises, the Company will assess and report such matters to AUSTRAC in accordance with applicable laws. The Company complies with mandatory reporting obligations and ensures that all processes are conducted in line with anti-tipping off requirements.

Reporting Obligations

In compliance with the AML/CTF Act, any identified suspicious activity is reported to AUSTRAC through a Suspicious Matter Report (SMR). Reports are submitted within the timeframes prescribed under applicable law, including within 24 hours for matters related to terrorism financing and within 3 business days for other suspicious matters. Additionally, should any transactions meet the threshold defined by relevant regulations, further detailed reports, including customer identity data and transaction details, are provided. These measures are in place to ensure full adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) obligations and to help prevent illegal activities.

The Company also complies with other applicable reporting obligations, including International Funds Transfer Instructions (IFTIs), where relevant. The Company does not process cash transactions and therefore Threshold Transaction Reporting (TTR) obligations are not applicable. The AML/CTF Compliance Officer (MLRO) is responsible for assessing and submitting reports and for ensuring ongoing cooperation with regulatory authorities.

Staff Training 

The Company conducts regular AML/CTF and sanctions compliance training to ensure that all relevant personnel understand their obligations in customer identification, monitoring, and reporting. This training ensures that all staff members who interact with customers or monitor transactions understand their responsibilities in customer identification, reporting suspicious activity, and maintaining accurate records. The Company is committed to maintaining a well-informed workforce to uphold the highest standards of compliance and security.

Policy Review and Updates

The Company’s AML/CTF Policy is reviewed at least annually and updated as required to reflect changes in laws, regulations, business activities, and emerging risks. In addition, the AML/CTF Program is subject to periodic independent review in accordance with regulatory requirements. In addition, any significant developments within the company, such as new products, services, or market expansions, are considered during the review process. The updates are implemented to maintain the highest standards of compliance and to mitigate the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing effectively. This ongoing process ensures that the Company remains fully aligned with evolving regulatory frameworks and industry best practices.
