3. What Is Money Laundering?
Money laundering involves:
- Placement โ Introducing illegal funds into the financial system.
- Layering โ Obscuring the origin of the money through complex transactions.
- Integration โ Making the money appear as if it were legitimately earned.

For high-risk users or transactions (e.g., large deposits, international transfers), we implement Enhanced Due Diligence, which may include:
- Additional identity verification
