# Anti-Money Laundering

**Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy**

**Anti-Money Laundering (AML)** refers to measures taken to prevent and deter money laundering activities that disguise or conceal the source and nature of illicit proceeds and related criminal activities. These measures are implemented in accordance with legal requirements.

The following is an example of an **AML** policy for a cryptocurrency exchange, designed to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, and safeguard user security and market stability.

**2. AML Compliance Framework**

**6. High-Risk Customer Management**

ChainBitX will conduct additional reviews on customers from high-risk regions, those dealing with high-risk assets, and users identified as having elevated money laundering risks. **Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)** measures will be applied to these high-risk customers.

**Characteristics of high-risk customers include but are not limited to:**
