According to the definition by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 'money laundering' is the process by which criminals use the financial system to transfer funds from one account to another to conceal the true source and beneficial ownership of funds, or use the custodial services provided by the financial system to hold funds.

As a major global financial center, Hong Kong has always strictly regulated financial institutions on anti-money laundering arrangements. In 2012, the Hong Kong government enacted the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance to further strengthen the system for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Additionally, many large international financial institutions have implemented rigorous internal measures and systems to prevent money laundering, ensuring client interests and fulfilling corporate responsibilities.

As a financial institution registered in Hong Kong that values corporate responsibility, GoldPo not only strictly complies with the guidelines and requirements of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance but also, like other large international financial institutions, has established rigorous internal measures and systems. We have implemented a series of arrangements for client account opening and fund deposits/withdrawals to prevent criminals from using us for money laundering activities or misappropriating client funds, thereby protecting the interests of all clients.

To prevent criminals from opening accounts and using GoldPo for money laundering activities, we strictly implement 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) procedures throughout the account opening process. These arrangements not only prevent criminals from opening accounts but also protect the interests of all new clients.

New clients are required to fill out an account opening form for initial identity verification.

To ensure the security and authenticity of client identities, we require all new clients to provide copies of their ID card or passport, bank card or bank statement, and valid proof of address after account opening. We verify the information provided and may call new clients to confirm their identity when necessary. If a client fails to pass the review process, we will reject the account opening application.

GoldPo does not accept non-personal (third-party) bank accounts or cash payments.

All client withdrawals must be credited to a bank account in the client's name to ensure the security of each withdrawal.

If it is discovered that a client has deposited via a non-personal (third-party) account without conducting any trading, we reserve the right to deduct 6% of the third-party deposit as related fees and return the balance to the depositing bank account.

If it is discovered that a client has deposited via a non-personal (third-party) account and has conducted trading, we reserve the right to cancel all transactions and benefits (including but not limited to rebates) from the third-party deposit, deduct 6% of the third-party deposit as related fees, and return the balance to the depositing bank account. At the same time, we reserve the right to immediately freeze the client's account for investigation, prohibit all trading in the account, and, at our discretion, report the matter to any relevant regulatory or law enforcement agency.

If we suspect that any account has used any means to manipulate prices, execution, or the platform (including but not limited to unauthorized third-party trading by clients), we reserve the right to investigate and audit the account, and to deduct any profits earned from such activities from the suspected account.

GoldPo understands that the above arrangements may cause some inconvenience to clients during account opening and deposit/withdrawal procedures. However, all these arrangements are not only regulatory requirements but also help us more effectively protect the rights and interests of all clients, reducing the risk of client accounts being misappropriated by criminals, allowing all clients to enjoy the international-level investment services provided by our company in the safest environment.
