Introduction

Money laundering is criminalized primarily by means of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (Cap. 373) which has adopted an “all crimes” approach. Drug-related money laundering is additionally criminalized through the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap. 101) and the Medical and Kindred Professions Ordinance (Cap. 31).

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act also establishes the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU). The Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations (LN 180/2008) implement the provisions of Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2005 on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purposes of money laundering and terrorist financing and of Directive 2006/70/EC of the European Commission of 1 August 2006 laying down implementing measures.

The regulations contain detailed provisions on the measures and procedures to be maintained and applied by subject persons, including customer due diligence

measures, record keeping procedures and reporting procedures, and identify the subject persons to such measures and procedures are applicable launderer and reintroduced into the economy e.g. by the purchase of a legitimate asset.

The Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations are supplemented by the Implementing Procedures issued by the FIAU.

The Implementing Procedures provide an interpretation of the regulations and their purpose is to guide and assist subject persons in understanding and fulfilling their obligations under the regulations, thus ensuring effective implementation thereof. The Implementing Procedures are binding on subject persons and failure to comply is subject to an administrative penalty.

The Unit was set up in 2001 by virtue of Act XXXI of 2001 through the PMLA which provides for its establishment. It is a government agency having a distinct legal personality which is responsible for the implementation of the AML/ CFT regime in Lithuania, for monitoring compliance with the relevant legislative provisions, and for the collection, collation, processing, analysis and dissemination of information with a view to combating ML and Funding of Terrorism.

1.4 Money-Laundering “ML” refers to:

(i) the conversion or transfer of property knowing or suspecting that such property is derived directly or indirectly from, or the proceeds of, criminal activity or from an act or acts of participation in criminal activity, for or purposes of concealing or disguising the origin of the property or of assisting any person or persons involved or concerned in criminal activity;

6. Client Risk Categorization

1.0 Based on the various factors and risk parameters, the clients shall be categorized into High, medium and low risk category.

1.1 Certain clients may be of a higher or lower risk category depending on the circumstances such as the client’s background, type of business relationship or transaction, etc. The illustrative factors for risk profiling is given as under (list is indicative and can be expanded as per business requirements and experience):

1) Geographical Location and Category of client.

2) Nature of Business activity

3) Financial Health vs Trade Volume

4) Income Range

1.2 Risk based Monitoring approach shall be followed. Broad categories of monitoring and reason for suspicion and examples of suspicious transactions for Coinygram are indicated as under:

1) Identity of Client

False identification documents

Identification documents which could not be verified within reasonable time.

Doubt over the real beneficiary of the account.

Accounts opened with names very close to other established business entities

2) Suspicious Background

Suspicious background or links with known criminals

3) Multiple Accounts

Large number of accounts having a common account holder or authorized signatory with no rationale.

Unexplained transfers between multiple accounts with no rationale

4) Activity in Accounts

Source of funds/Cryptocurrencies are doubtful

1.4) Value of Transactions

Inconsistent with the clients apparent financial standing

Inconsistency in the transactions pattern by Customers.

1.5) Coinygram will ensure that information sought from the customer is relevant to the perceived risk, is not intrusive, and is in conformity with the guidelines issued in this regard. Any other information from the customer will be sought separately with the client’s consent and after opening the account.

7.  Exception Handling

Exceptions to this Policy must be approved by the Compliance Officer, or a designated person. All exceptions must be documented, with reasons for the exceptions, including expiration or review date and, wherever necessary, include an action plan and timelines for compliance with the policy.

No accounts will be opened by Coinygram for any User who appears on the United Nations Security Council’s ISIL (Da’esh) & Al-Qaida Sanctions List, or on its 1988 Sanctions List.

8. EDD [Enhanced Due-Diligence]

8.1 In risk-sensitive instances or where the customer is not present e.g. due to online applications via its platform, the service provider shall apply EDD measures. EDD measures are additional measures to the CDD measures.

8.2 EDD measures are applied in order to ensure that the higher risks presented by certain Customers and transactions are better monitored and managed to avoid any involvement in ML/Funding of Terrorism.

Thus, the service provider applies EDD measures when the Operations Department classifies the Customer as high risk and, in all cases, where the customer is not present.

8.3 EDD measures are applied in the following cases:

(a) where the Applicant has not been physically present for identification purposes subject to the service provider’s CDD measures;

(b) in relation to cross-border correspondent banking relationships; or

(c) in relation to a Business Relationship or Occasional Transaction with a PEP.

8.4 In the above-mentioned instances, the MLRO and the Designated Employee/s are to be consulted in order to confirm which of the EDD measures indicated hereunder are to be applied whenever the applicant is not present (i.e. for non-face-to-face applicants i.e. online applications).

8.5 In addition to the three (3) specific instances mentioned above, the service provider shall also conduct EDD measures in relation to a Business Relationship or a transaction connected to a jurisdiction listed under the public documents issued by the FATF as required in the guidance note on high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions and reported on the FIAU’s website

(NOTE: the service provider restricts these clients at this stage, so the previous provisions are in case these change in the future).

8.6 Regulation 15(3) of the PMLFTR requires the service provider as an SP to inform the FIAU of any Business Relationships or transactions with persons, companies and undertakings, including those carrying out relevant financial business or a relevant activity from a non-Reputable Jurisdiction which continues not to apply measures equivalent to those laid down in Applicable Legislation.

Therefore, when any of the service provider’s representative/s working closely with Customers notes the above, they are to report such matters to the MLRO. The MLRO shall thereafter follow the procedure indicated in the Reporting Section.

8.7 Although only three (3) relationships are mentioned above, there may be other situations which, by their nature, can present a higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism. The MLRO shall, therefore, use his discretion when applying EDD measures in such situations. The MLRO shall ensure that such measures are applied on a risk-sensitive basis and should be appropriate in view of the higher risk of ML/ Funding of Terrorism.

NON-FACE-TO-FACE APPLICANTS

In addition to the identification and verification of identity measures to be carried out in accordance with the Identification and Verification of the Customer Section, the Operations Department shall apply one (1) or more of the following measures:

1. A) ENSURE THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT OR TRANSACTION INTO THE ACCOUNT IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH AN ACCOUNT HELD BY THE APPLICANT IN THER NAME WITH A CREDIT INSTITUTION AUTHORISED UNDER THE BANKING ACT (CAP. 371 OF THE LAWS OF Lithuania) OR OTHERWISE AUTHORISED IN ANOTHER MEMBER STATE OF THE COMMUNITY OR IN A REPUTABLE JURISDICTION.

This measure entails a bank-to-bank transfer from an existing account through which the Customer would have already been identified by the service provider. Therefore, the first payment or transaction into the account held by the Applicant may be an electronic card payment only where the electronic card used to affect the payment is linked to an account held by the payer with a credit institution. In such instance, the Customer must provide the service provider’s statement form the same Bank that prove that the credit card used is liked to Customer’s account with that Bank. Pre-paid credit cards and E-money payments are not admissible for EDD purposes.

Note: This is the default check and will be incorporated into the checks by Operations.

POLITICALLY EXPOSED-PERSONS (PEPs)

At the initial on-boarding stage (or if the client has been flagged as a PEP from a new review): The service provider shall obtain such information directly from the Applicant (as part of the on-boarding questions) or from other readily available sources such as Experian, World Check, newspapers etc (the service provider will automatically check if the Applicant is flagged as a PEP in the Watchlists of Experian on an automated basis). The Board of Directors’ approval is required in those cases where the Customer is categorized as a PEP. The application of EDD measures to PEPs is mandatory as long as the PEP remains entrusted with a prominent public function for a subsequent twelve (12) months from when he ceases to be so entrusted.

9. Ongoing Due Diligence Measures For Transactions On The Coinygram Platform

9.1 Coinygram shall exercise ongoing due diligence with respect to the business relationship with every User and closely examine the transactions in order to ensure that they are consistent with their knowledge of the User, his business and risk profile and where necessary, the source of funds.

9.2 Coinygram will also review its due diligence measures and undertake measures to re-verify the identity of a User and obtain further information on a User’s activities, if Coinygram has any suspicions of money laundering or the financing of terrorism.

9.3 All due diligence undertaken by Coinygram is documented, designed to consider all

relevant risk factors in determining overall risk and the appropriate mitigation measures, is kept up to date; and will always be available to the relevant authorities and self-regulating bodies.

9.4 Coinygram will verify the identity of Users while carrying out transactions worth at least EUR 2300 (Two Thousand and Five Hundred Euros), whether through a single transaction or a series of connected transactions. If Coinygram has reason to believe that a User is intentionally structuring a transaction into a series of transactions, below the threshold of

9.5 Once a User has participated in transactions of a total value of at least over the course of his/her engagement with the Coinygram platform, or deposits or transacts in an amount of at least EUR 2300 (Two Thousand and Three Hundred Euros) on the Coinygram Platform, Coinygram will also conduct ‘chain analysis’ to identify the relevant public address for such User and earmark such User as either as ‘high risk’, ‘medium risk’, or ‘low risk’ based on parameters such as the use of cryptocurrencies by such Users at online gambling websites, darknet websites, etc.

This limit EUR 2300 (Two Thousand and Three Hundred Euros) may be revised by Coinygram from time to time, based on Coinygram’s determination of appropriate thresholds in accordance with ongoing compliance measures, and if so required under applicable Law.

9.6 Coinygram will, in particular, monitor the following categories of transactions, and will conduct due diligence on an ongoing basis on them:

1) large, complex transactions, including those with unusual patterns that are inconsistent with a User’s normal / expected level of activity, without an apparent economic rationale or legitimate purpose; and

2) transactions that involve high account turnover, inconsistent with the size of the balance ordinarily maintained by a User.

9.7 As Users are not face-to-face customers of Coinygram, Coinygram may require undertaking enhanced due diligence, including certification of all documents provided by the Users, calling for additional documents whenever necessary, and requiring that the first payments made by such Users be effected through the User’s KYC-compliant account with a bank. Any such requirements, as may be imposed under Applicable Law, will be incorporated into this AML Policy, and Coinygram reserves the right to update the AML Policy for this purpose.

9.8 Coinygram’s staff are trained in Coinygram’s due diligence and anti-money laundering measures, as well as all requirements prescribed under Applicable Law for this purpose and may be contacted if any User has questions or concerns about any of measures contained in this AML Policy.

10. SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION   REPORT (STR)

10.3 The five (5) working days, which are referred to in Regulation 15(6) of the PMLFTR, shall be considered to start to run in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs:

(a) in cases where, subsequent to the receipt of an internal report, the MLRO determines, on the basis of the information contained in the report, or on the basis of additional information and, or documentation, that there is knowledge or suspicion of ML/ Funding of Terrorism, the five (5) working day period shall start to run from when such a determination is made by the MLRO;

(b) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, where the service provider is in possession of information that constitutes a reasonable ground to suspect ML/ Funding of Terrorism, the five (5) working day period shall start to run from when the service provider came into possession of or became aware of that information.
