anti-money laundering (“aml”) and counter-terrorist financing (“Ctf”) policy
Money laundering is defined as the process where the identity of the proceeds of crime are so disguised that it gives the appearance of legitimate income. Criminals specifically target financial services firms through which they attempt to launder criminal proceeds without the firm’s knowledge or suspicions.
We have implemented systems and procedures that meet the and international and local AML legislation in the markets we serve. Our decision reflects our desire to prevent money laundering and not be used by criminals to launder proceeds of crime.
The regulatory frameworks which we follow are defined as:
Legal Framework
United States of America
Foreign Assets Control Regulations (OFAC) - 31 CFR 500
Financial Record Keeping and Reporting of Currency and Foreign Transactions - 31 CFR 1010.310

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy
The Servy AML Policy is designed to prevent money laundering by meeting the International and local AML legislation obligations including the need to have adequate systems and controls in place to mitigate the risk of the firm being used to facilitate financial crime. This AML Policy sets out the minimum standards which must be complied with and includes:
1. The appointment of a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) who has a sufficient level of seniority and independence and who has responsibility for oversight of compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, rules, and industry guidance;
2. Establishing and maintaining a Risk-Based Approach (RBA) towards assessing and managing the money laundering and terrorist financing risks to the company;
3. Establishing and maintaining risk-based concession partner due diligence, identification, verification, and know your Payee (KYC) procedures, including enhanced due diligence for concession partners presenting higher risk, such as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs);
4. Such KYC procedures are referred to as “Know Your Payee” (KYP) internally and are managed by Servy’s official payments facilitator, Hyperwallet, a service of PayPal;
5. Establishing and maintaining risk-based systems and procedures to monitor on-going customer and concession partner activity;
6. Procedures for reporting suspicious activity internally and to the relevant law enforcement authorities as appropriate;
7. The maintenance of appropriate records for the minimum prescribed periods; and
8. Training and awareness for all relevant employees.
Sanctions Policy
Servy is prohibited from transacting with concessions partners, owners of said concession partners, and countries that are on prescribed Sanctions lists. Servy will therefore screen against the sanctions lists of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Dubai Financial Services Authority, United Nations, European Union, UK Treasury, and any further local similar such organizations in jurisdictions we operate.
