2. Customer Identification and Verification (KYC)

Verification levels and limits

To expand the platform"s functionality and increase asset withdrawal limits, all users are required to undergo a KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process. The EasySwap platform verifies data through integration with specialized third-party providers. The verification system provides two access levels, which determine available financial limits:

  1. Basic level of identification

This stage involves a standard verification procedure and is required for most banking lines and low-risk transactions. The following information is required to complete this level:

  • valid email address;
  • user"s identity document;
  • confirmation of actual residential address.
  1. Advanced Identification Level

Enhanced verification is initiated when a user is assigned a high-risk status under the AML policy or when conducting high-risk transactions. Requested data may include:

  • email contacts;
  • identity verification;
  • documentary proof of place of residence;
  • information on the origin of funds (Source of Funds).

The decision to upgrade to an advanced level, as well as the request for additional documents, remains at the discretion of the platform"s security service and is made on an individual basis based on a risk assessment of the specific situation.

List of documents

Verification of the legitimacy of the origin of assets (Source of Funds)

3. Transaction monitoring (KYT)

Tools

EasySwap uses a combination of automated and manual transaction analysis methods, using specialized providers (including AMLBot and similar ones).

Risk assessment criteria

The analysis is carried out in the following areas:

  1. Sanctions lists: checking addresses for affiliation with “black” clusters (darknet, fraud, stolen funds).
  2. Anonymizers: detecting the use of mixers, tumblers and related protocols.
  3. Suspicious patterns:

* Fractional transfers (smurfing);

* Transaction volumes that are abnormal for the user"s history;

* Transactions initiated from high-risk jurisdictions.

  1. Risk scoring: assignment of status Low / Medium / High .

 

Risk assessment scale

The assessment depends on the provider"s methodology and is subjective:

* Low: score ≤ 62% based on provider model.

* Medium: score 62% - 70%.

* High: score 70% - 75%.

Risk Score Label Categories for Cryptocurrency Addresses

Transactions marked "High Risk" may be blocked automatically and transferred to an AML officer for manual review. We recommend performing manual checks before sending a transaction to an exchange service to ensure the address is risk-free. Our checks are performed using AML bot processing. To pre-check your address, you can visit our service page or use the following resource: https://www.bestchange.com/report/

 

 

4. Categorization of clients by risk level

Depending on the client profile, different control measures and re-checking frequencies are applied:

* Low risk. Standard CDD verification is applied. Re-verification is carried out as needed.

* Medium risk. Enhanced monitoring is introduced. Re-checks are conducted every two years.
