Introduction
Atom Wallets is committed to the highest standards of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) compliance. This policy outlines our approach to preventing the misuse of our platform for illegal activities.
As a self-custody wallet provider, Atom Wallets provides software that enables users to manage their own cryptocurrency assets. Users maintain complete control over their private keys, and we do not have custody of user funds at any time.
While the non-custodial nature of our service limits certain traditional AML requirements, we remain committed to implementing appropriate measures to prevent financial crimes and comply with applicable regulations.
Our AML Framework
Risk-Based Approach
We implement a risk-based approach to identify, assess, and mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with our services.
Transaction Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of transactions to detect suspicious activities, unusual patterns, and potential compliance violations.
Customer Due Diligence
When required by applicable regulations, we conduct appropriate customer verification and due diligence procedures.
Suspicious Activity Reporting
We maintain procedures for identifying and reporting suspicious transactions to relevant authorities as required by law.
Sanctions Compliance
We screen against international sanctions lists and comply with applicable sanctions regulations across jurisdictions.
Regulatory Cooperation
We cooperate with law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Prohibited Activities
Users are strictly prohibited from using Atom Wallets for:
Money laundering or terrorist financing
Transactions involving proceeds of criminal activity
Evading sanctions or other regulatory requirements
Any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations
Third-Party Services
When users access third-party services through Atom Wallets (such as fiat on/off ramps, exchanges, or other integrated services), those services maintain their own AML/KYC requirements. Users must comply with the terms and verification requirements of any third-party services they choose to use.
We partner only with reputable third-party providers who maintain appropriate compliance programs and are licensed in their respective jurisdictions.
Cooperation with Authorities
Atom Wallets cooperates with law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable laws. While we do not collect personal information for basic wallet usage, we will respond to valid legal requests and court orders.
We maintain records of our compliance efforts and can provide information about our AML program to regulators upon request.
Employee Training
All Atom Wallets employees receive regular training on AML/CTF requirements, including:
Recognition of suspicious activities and red flags
Reporting procedures and escalation protocols
Regulatory requirements and compliance obligations
Updates on emerging threats and typologies
