Know Your Customer (KYC)

We follow a strong identity verification process for all our customers as per local and international KYC/AML/CFT POLICY& regulations irrespective of the amount of the transaction.

Robust KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYC (Know your Customer’s Customer) policies are adhered to at all levels of the organization. Identifying and conducting Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) wherever required is a normal process at Riti Forex for identifying any sign of money laundering.

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

In our CDD process, we obtain relevant details of every customer to ensure that the transactions they perform are in line with their profile or business activities. Our focus has always been to ensure the legitimacy of the source of funds and purpose of transaction.

Enhance Due Diligence (EDD)

EDD is to perform additional measures, besides the usual CDD, to know more about the customer, his source of funds and to confirm that the transactions are within its means. To verify that funds are legitimate and not related to any criminal proceeds by obtaining authentic and genuine documents which must support both the underlying and stated purpose. Riti Forex adopts a risk-based approach to identify and eliminate potential risks. Hence EDD is compulsorily performed on all high-risk accounts.

Sanctions Screening

To ensure compliance with the applicable sanctions against persons and entities, Riti Forex has an automated system to screen the names of the customers against the sanctions lists issued by the Reserve Bank of India of the India, the UN Security Council (UNSC),The Office of Financial Intelligence Unit ( FIU ) India and the local terrorist list issued by the Indian Supreme Council for National Security. Along with the customers’ names, all the parties to the transactions are also filtered through the screening system in order to ensure compliance with Sanctions Obligations.
