# AML Compliance Policy

Arbridge Network operates a zero-tolerance posture toward money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and any form of illicit capital flow. Our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy is not a checkbox — it is a continuously enforced layer of the network's operational fabric.

## Scope

This policy applies to every member, every counterparty interaction, every inbound transfer, and every outbound disbursement conducted on or through Arbridge infrastructure.

## Core obligations

**Identity verification.** Every member undergoes Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification at onboarding, with enhanced due diligence applied based on jurisdictional and transactional risk indicators.

**Source-of-funds review.** Transactions inconsistent with a member's declared activity profile are flagged for additional review and may be held pending clarification.

**Sanctions screening.** Member records and transactional counterparties are screened against consolidated sanctions lists on an ongoing basis.

**Suspicious-activity reporting.** Activity bearing the indicators of money laundering, structuring, or financing of prohibited activity is escalated to Arbridge's Compliance and Governance Unit and, where applicable, reported to competent authorities.

**Record retention.** Identity, transactional, and investigative records are retained in accordance with the longest applicable regulatory requirement in the member's jurisdiction of residence.

## Prohibited activity

Arbridge will not knowingly interact with addresses or counterparties associated with ransomware, darknet marketplaces, sanctioned entities, mixing services used to obscure source-of-funds, or exploited-protocol proceeds.

## Governance

This policy is maintained by the Compliance and Governance Unit within the Arbridge Network Lab and is reviewed at least annually, or whenever a material regulatory or operational change requires revision.
