AML & CFT policy

About AML/CFT for EDX

AML stands for Anti-Money Laundering CFT stands for Counter-Financing of Terrorism

In simple terms, they’re the rules and tools we use to stop criminals from using our platform to move dirty money or fund dangerous activities.

That means:

  • We assess the risk level of every user

  • We monitor transactions to spot anything suspicious

  • We report unusual behavior to authorities when necessary

These steps aren’t just regulatory checkboxes — they help protect you and everyone else in the financial system.

Why does it matter?

Without AML/CFT controls, criminals could use platforms like ours to:

  • Hide money made from scams, fraud, drugs, or corruption

  • Fund violent or extremist activity across borders

  • Disrupt financial markets and economies

That’s why strong AML/CFT programs aren’t just about compliance — they’re about safety.

By helping detect and stop financial crime, we’re doing our part to:

  • Protect you and your funds

  • Reduce crime

  • Make the financial system more trustworthy for everyone

In short: AML/CFT helps build a safer, more honest financial future — one transaction at a time.


How does money laundering work?

Money laundering is when someone takes money earned from illegal activity and tries to make it look “clean.” For example, money from drugs, fraud, or corruption gets hidden through a series of complex transfers so no one knows where it came from. Without AML controls, it’s easy for bad actors to keep operating in the shadows.


What tricks do criminals use to launder money?

There are many ways to try and clean “dirty” money. Some common ones include:

  • Breaking it up: Sending small amounts to avoid detection.

  • Fake businesses: Using fake companies to hide the real owners.

  • Layering: Moving money through many wallets or exchanges.

  • Crypto misuse: Some use digital assets to move funds quickly and anonymously.

That’s why we monitor transactions and check identities — to make sure everything’s legit.


Why should you care about money laundering?

Because it funds serious crime — from human trafficking to corruption. If we don’t stop it, criminals can:

  • Stay in business

  • Grow their networks

  • Undermine law enforcement and economic stability

Stopping money laundering helps create a safer, more trustworthy world — online and offline.


What is Eurasia doing to stop it?

We have a full AML system in place, including:

  • KYC checks: We verify your identity to know who’s using our platform.

  • Monitoring tools: We watch for suspicious behavior with advanced software.

  • Investigations: If something seems off, we review and act — fast.

We don’t just check boxes. We’re actively protecting the system for all our users.


What is terrorist financing – and how is it different?

Terrorist financing is when money (even legal money) is used to support violence or extremist causes.

The money itself may be clean — but the intent is illegal. That’s what makes it dangerous and difficult to track.


How do terrorist groups get their funding?

Terrorist groups need money for:

  • Travel and logistics

  • Propaganda and recruiting

  • Weapons or training

They can get funds from:

  • Donations (sometimes unknowingly)

  • Criminal activity (like kidnapping or smuggling)

  • Misused charities or “front” organizations



Where does that money come from?

Funding sources might look innocent:

  • Personal donations

  • Business profits

  • Humanitarian aid

But behind the scenes, it’s sometimes funneled into illegal operations. That’s why financial checks and data screening matter — even if the money looks “normal” on the surface.


How do terrorists move money around?

They often use:

  • Bank wires or remittance services

  • Cash couriers (physical smuggling)

  • Blockchain transactions (to avoid banking systems)

Crypto can be part of the movement — which is why digital exchanges like ours are under strict rules and monitoring obligations.


Why is it so hard to catch?

Because:

  • Transactions are often small and spread out

  • There’s no “one-size-fits-all” pattern

  • The sources can be legal-looking

It takes constant monitoring, smart technology, and trained people to catch red flags — which is exactly what we invest in at Eurasia.


How does Eurasia help fight back?

We use:

  • Screening systems: To check against global watchlists and sanctions

  • Advanced monitoring tools: To track crypto movement and behaviors

  • Regulatory reporting: To alert authorities when needed

We also partner with blockchain analytics providers and comply with Cambodia’s regulations and FATF guidelines — so no one can misuse our platform to do harm.
