911proxy Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Program
1. Corporate Policy
Shengtian Network Technology Co., Limited is steadfastly committed to actively preventing money laundering and any activities facilitating it, as well as the funding of terrorist or criminal activities. This commitment aligns with all applicable requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and its implementing regulations.
Our AML policies, procedures, and internal controls are meticulously designed to ensure compliance with BSA regulations and FINRA rules. Regular reviews and updates will be conducted to accommodate changes in regulations and our business.
2. Providing AML Information
We commit to not disclosing that FinCEN has requested or obtained information from us, except as necessary to comply with the information request. The receipt of a National Security Letter (NSL) will be handled with utmost confidentiality. Any Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) filed after receiving an NSL will not reference the receipt or existence of the NSL, focusing only on the facts and circumstances of detected suspicious activity.
3. Monitoring Accounts for Suspicious Activity
We will vigilantly monitor account activity for unusual size, volume, pattern, or type of transactions, taking into account risk factors and red flags that are appropriate to our business.
