AML Procedures Guide
This guide summarizes Onmidev Ltd.'s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) procedures for iGaming operations under Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) license, aligning with FATF, EU directives, and Prevention of Money Laundering Law 2005. All staff must apply risk-based CDD before deposits, screen sanctions, monitor transactions, and report suspicions to MLRO without delay.
Governance and Responsibilities
Board approves policy annually, allocates resources, reviews quarterly reports; appoints independent MLRO (3+ years experience) reporting directly to Board.
MLRO oversees CDD/EDD, monitoring, STR filing to AOFA FIU, training, audits; cannot be overruled on compliance.
Compliance Committee (MLRO + managers) meets monthly to review alerts, risks, high-risk onboarding.
All employees: Report suspicions immediately; complete training (new hires 30 days, annual/bi-annual by role); violations risk discipline/license loss.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
Verify all customers before deposits via automated/manual process (1-4/24 hours).
