Know Your Customer (KYC) Policy

1. INTRODUCTION

WeMasterTrade. ("the Companies") are committed to verifying the identity of all users to prevent fraud, financial crime, and misuse of our services. This KYC Policy outlines our identity verification procedures, aligned with FATF standards, PCMLTFA (Canada), and applicable data protection laws including GDPR.

KYC completion is mandatory. No user may access either platform without completing the required verification.

2. VERIFICATION PROCESS

Identity verification is conducted through Sumsub, a regulated third-party KYC and identity verification platform:

Document authenticity and expiry verification

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract and verify ID data

• Liveness detection and biometric face matching

• PEP and sanctions screening

• IP geolocation and device checks

Verification is typically completed within minutes. Where manual review is required, users will be notified of the expected timeframe. Sumsub services include document verification, biometric liveness checks, sanctions screening, and ongoing monitoring tools.

3. REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

All users must provide the following:

Standard Verification (all users)

Government-issued photo ID — passport, national ID, or driver's licence (valid, unexpired)

Enhanced Verification (high-risk users)

• Proof of address — utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence (issued within 3 months)
