AML / CFT Framework
DealEngine maintains a comprehensive anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist-financing (CFT) framework designed to meet its obligations under Swiss law and applicable international standards. Key elements include:
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
We identify and verify every client and, where applicable, the beneficial owner and controlling persons, before establishing a business relationship. We collect information on the purpose and intended nature of the relationship.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
Business relationships and transactions presenting higher risk — including those involving politically exposed persons (PEPs), high-risk jurisdictions, or unusual patterns — are subject to enhanced due diligence and senior-management approval.
Screening
Clients and counterparties are screened against applicable sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse-media sources, both at onboarding and on an ongoing basis.
Transaction Monitoring and Reporting
We monitor transactions on a risk-based basis to detect unusual or suspicious activity. Where required, we report to the Money Laundering Reporting Office Switzerland (MROS) in accordance with our statutory obligations.
Record Keeping
We maintain documentation relating to client identification, transactions, and due-diligence measures in accordance with Swiss legal retention requirements, which provide for a minimum retention period of ten years.
Onboarding
Prospective clients complete a corporate onboarding questionnaire and provide supporting documentation, which our compliance team reviews as part of our KYC/AML process. You can begin the process via our onboarding form. Establishing a business relationship is at all times subject to the successful completion of these checks.
