1. INTRODUCTION
WeMasterTrade (referred to as "the Company", "we", "us") is committed to the prevention of money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes. This Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Policy ("AML/CTF Policy") sets out the principles and procedures adopted by the Company to comply with applicable laws and international standards.
Our AML/CTF framework is aligned with:
• The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) 40 Recommendations

• FINTRAC regulatory guidance
• Applicable EU, UK, and international AML/CTF standards

Performance-based rewards may be granted at the sole discretion of the Company from its own revenue pursuant to contractual agreements, and do not constitute investment returns, guaranteed income, or financial services. The Company does not hold, manage, transmit, or custody any client funds.

5. CUSTOMER DUE DILIGENCE (CDD) AND KYC
The Company applies a risk-based approach to customer due diligence. All users are required to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification prior to accessing the platform.

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

EDD may require proof of address, source of funds documentation, and senior management approval.
The Company does not onboard anonymous users or users who refuse to provide required verification documentation.
6. SANCTIONS SCREENING
All users are screened against applicable international sanctions lists, including:
• OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List

The Company applies a risk-based approach to monitoring payment activity associated with user accounts on an ongoing basis. Unusual or suspicious patterns — including structuring, inconsistent payment origins, or abnormal payout requests — are subject to enhanced review. The Company reserves the right to delay, suspend, or reject transactions where concerns are identified. Where appropriate, external verification tools and Sumsub risk indicators may be used as part of enhanced review processes.

Where the Company identifies or reasonably suspects activity related to money laundering or terrorism financing, it will file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) with the relevant competent authority in accordance with applicable law.

The assessment considers:

• third-party provider risk
Findings are reviewed by senior management and used to enhance internal controls where necessary.
