Ramad Pay takes its responsibilities in combating money laundering and terrorist financing extremely seriously. As a leading financial services provider, we recognize that we have an important role to play in detecting and preventing financial crimes that could undermine the integrity of the global financial system. This statement outlines Ramad Pay’s steadfast commitment to compliance, trust and transparency, with a particular focus on our anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing (AML/CFT) efforts.
Ramad Pay maintains a robust AML/CFT compliance program designed to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Some key elements of our approach include:
We employ a risk-based approach, allocating more resources to higher-risk areas and continuously updating our understanding of emerging risks. Controls are calibrated appropriately based on factors like customer risk profile, transaction patterns, and geographic locations.
We leverage advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to effectively identify suspicious activity. This allows us to focus our efforts on the highest risk transactions and customers.
We conduct regular surveillance and monitoring of all customer accounts and activity to identify potentially unusual or suspicious transactions. Any detected issues are promptly escalated and investigated.
We have comprehensive know-your-customer (KYC) procedures to verify customer identities and understand the nature of their business. Enhanced due diligence is performed for higher risk customers.
Our experienced AML team is devoted to overseeing and enforcing our compliance program. Team members regularly attend training to stay abreast of the latest regulatory developments.
Independent external auditors periodically assess the adequacy of our AML/CFT policies and procedures. Audit findings are reviewed by senior management and remediation action is taken where necessary.
Our executive leadership and Board of Directors actively cultivate a culture of integrity where compliance is treated as a strategic priority.
Comprehensive AML/CFT policies and procedures are maintained and communicated. Mandatory training is provided to all employees annually.
All employees understand it is their personal duty to be vigilant about compliance, and are empowered to flag any suspicious activities without fear of retaliation.
Management oversight, including internal audit and quality assurance testing, ensures consistent adherence to AML/CFT policies across the organization.
Compliance-related KPIs are incorporated into performance evaluations and incentive structures for applicable employees and business units.
Ramad Pay strives to maintain open and cooperative relationships with regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies. Some aspects of our reporting and transparency include:
We file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and other required reports on a timely basis to financial intelligence units and law enforcement.
Subject to applicable laws, we readily share information with authorities to combat financial crimes as well as with industry peers through public-private partnerships.
Our financial investigations team works closely with law enforcement to support investigations and prosecutions of money laundering and terrorist financing.
Our commitment to compliance permeates the organization and we are transparent about our AML/CFT program with all stakeholders including customers, investors, and the public.
As technologies and payment methods continue evolving, so too will financial crimes. Ramad Pay is committed to remaining vigilant to stay ahead of emerging money laundering and terrorist financing threats. We will continue investing in our compliance program, leveraging new innovations, and working with stakeholders worldwide to ensure the integrity and security of the global financial system. Our customers, partners, and all communities we serve can remain confident in Ramad Pay as a trusted provider dedicated to the highest standards of compliance.
