Verified clients,
clean markets.

The objective of this policy is to prevent SterlingFXM from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering, terror financing, tax evasion, or other illegal activities.

Before opening an active trading account, every client must undergo identity verification. Requirements include:

• Proof of Identity (POI): A valid, non-expired government-issued document showing full legal name, date of birth, photo, and signature (e.g., Passport, National Identity Card, Driver’s License).

• Proof of Residence (POR): A document issued within the last 3–6 months displaying the client’s legal name and full residential address (e.g., Utility bill, Bank statement, Municipal tax bill).

• Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Applied to high-net-worth clients, complex corporate structures, Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), or clients originating from high-risk jurisdictions.

• Sanctions Screening: All clients are screened against global databases, including OFAC, UN, EU, and UK sanctions lists, prior to account activation and continuously thereafter.

• Monitoring: All deposits, trading activity, and withdrawal patterns are monitored for unusual or suspicious behavior.

• Third-Party Payments: SterlingFXM strictly prohibits third-party deposits and withdrawals. All incoming and outgoing transfers must match the verified name on the trading account.

• Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR): SterlingFXM reserves the right to freeze funds, restrict trading access, and report suspicious transactions to relevant law enforcement agencies without prior notification to the client.
