5. Concrete steps

Through our legal compliance provider we must carry out the following steps:

Customer identification

Disruptive Exchange, through the electronic platform or through a specialized certified provider, will integrate and maintain an identification file by each of its Clients at the time of the execution of any contract, provision of services and carrying out activities or operations, with the objective of identifying them fully.

To carry out this evaluation,Disruptive Exchange will follow the following procedure:

Step 1: KYC Information Collection

Customer must provide complete and verifiable information as required by company policies outlined in this manual.

3. Definition of risk of a politically exposed person:

Assessing the risk of a client who is a Politically Exposed Person (PPE) is a crucial process in the area of anti-money laundering and risk management at Disruptive Exchange.

PEPs are individuals who hold important political positions or have close ties to people in such positions, and may be at higher risk of engaging in illicit financial activities or money laundering due to their influence and access to resources.

Risk Assessment Methodology for PPE Clients:

Step 1: Identification of PPE Clients

The first step is to identify if the client is a Politically Exposed Person. This involves collecting accurate information about your occupation, political connections, and family members who may be involved in politics.

Step 2: Categorization of PPE Clients

Classify the PPE client into one of the following categories:

High Risk: If the client is an active PPE or has a high level of political exposure.

Moderate Risk: If the client has political ties, but their political exposure is limited or their position is less influential.

Low Risk: If the client is a retired PPE or has minimal political exposure.

Step 3: Risk Factor Assessment

Assess specific risk factors associated with the client's PPE, which may include: The current or previous political position or position.

The geography and level of corruption of the country of origin or influence.

The nature of the relationship with the PEP (e.g., spouse, child, sibling).

History and pattern of financial transactions.

Step 4: Transactional Risk Assessment

Analyze the PPE customer's transactional history, including the nature and frequency of transactions, to detect unusual or suspicious activity.

Step 5: Determination of Global Risk Level

Based on the assessment of risk factors and transactional history, determine the PPE customer's overall risk level as high, moderate, or low.

Establish appropriate control measures to mitigate risk, which may include:

Continuous and exhaustive monitoring of PPE customer transactions.

More frequent review of activities and operations.

Report suspicious transactions to competent authorities as necessary.

Step 8: Periodic Review and Update

Periodically review and update the PPE customer risk assessment as the customer's circumstances, applicable regulations or risk profile change.

This methodology provides a structured and tiered approach to assessing the risk of clients who are Politically Exposed Persons. It is essential that financial institutions and companies that handle these types of clients are especially diligent in their due diligence, monitoring and regulatory compliance to mitigate the risks associated with political exposure.

4. Determination of the transactional profile of clients.

Determining the transactional profile of clients is essential to understand their financial activity patterns and assess the associated risk.

I. Criteria to Determine the Transactional Profile

Nature of the Commercial Relationship: Evaluate the nature of the relationship with the client, which may be investment, loan, commercial intermediation, among others. This will help define the type of transactions expected.

Transaction Frequency: Evaluate the frequency with which the client carries out financial transactions, such as deposits, withdrawals, purchases or sales of assets.

Transaction Volume: Determine the volume of financial transactions made by the client, including the amount of funds involved.

Types of Transactions: Identify the specific types of transactions that the client carries out regularly, such as international transfers, investments in financial markets, real estate purchases, among others.

II. Procedures to Determine the Transactional Profile

KYC Information Collection: Initiate the process of determining the transactional profile by collecting complete and verifiable information from each client in accordance with the KYC process.

Transaction Record: Record all financial transactions carried out by the client, including dates, amounts, counterparties and relevant details.

Transaction Analysis: Analyze transactions to identify patterns and trends, such as frequency of activity, fluctuating balances, and unusual activities.

Comparison with Known Profile: Compare the customer's transactional behavior with the previously known profile and any significant changes in activity.

Evaluation of Deviations: If significant deviations are detected in transactions, investigate and deter mine if they are consistent with the stated purpose of the account and the client profile.

Periodic Review: Conduct periodic reviews of the transactional profile to detect changes in customer behavior and adjust the risk level if necessary.

III. Transactional Profile Levels

Based on the information collected and the analysis performed, categorize the customer into one of the following transactional profile levels:

Low Profile: Clients with regular and consistent financial transactions that align with their stated purpose and known profile.

Moderate Profile: Clients with moderate financial activity and a moderate level of risk due to certain transactions that may be atypical but justifiable.

High Profile: Clients with complex, frequent or unusual financial transactions that may require greater attention and supervision due to their level of risk.

IV. Control measures

Establish control measures proportional to the level of each client's transactional profile, which may include:

Continuous transaction monitoring.

Periodic KYC update.

Potential Matches: If a potential match is found between customer information and a blacklist entry, the platform generates an alert for the compliance team to investigate the situation.

Investigation and Resolution: The compliance team is responsible for investigating potential matches and determining if they are a sanctioned person or entity. If this is confirmed to be a valid match, appropriate action is taken, which may include denial of the transaction and reporting to regulatory authorities.

III. Update Continues

To ensure the effectiveness of blacklist review, the platform is regularly updated to incorporate new lists and changes to existing ones. This allows our company to be aware of the latest sanctions and restrictions at the national and international level.
