Know Your Customer

 

360 Software Ltd will identify the potential customer and the persons on behalf or account of whom the transactions are conducted before the transactions are conducted. Accordingly, 360 Software Ltd performs necessary controls and takes measures with respect to:

Identification and verification of the valid identity, origin and address details of (potential) customers, acceptable to the legal authorities, before providing any service and during the course of a continuous relation;

Consistency of the income levels of customers and the services they perform/request with their business, the general course of action and sources of income of the customer type, in which they are included;

Origin of customers funds

Possibility of the customers being included on national/international sanctions lists.

 

360 Software Ltd will not establish any relation if the proof of identification and verification is not made or sufficient information about the purpose of the relations is not obtained; and the relation will be terminated, when the identification and verification of the customer is not performed where it is required to be conducted in case of any suspicion related to sufficiency and accuracy/authenticity of the previously obtained identity details of the customer.

 

The standard customer due diligence process to be performed by 360 Software Ltd, at a minimum, as part of “Know your customer” measures includes:

Identification and verification/authentication of the customer’s identity details, address, specimen signature, ultimate beneficial owners, authorized representatives in accordance with legal legislation and the internal policies of 360 Software Ltd,

Screening of the customers in case of the risk of them being on international sanctions lists (including country risk assessment),

Determination of whether the customer and any related parties of the customer are a politically exposed person (PEP), or related/linked to a politically exposed person,

Investigation of whether the customer and related parties of the customer are associated with ultra high risk countries as defined under international organizations and 360 Software Ltd internal policy,

Analysis of the laws of the country/countries of origin and residence of the potential client and if they had established restrictions for its nationals with respect on having accounts abroad or restrictions to payments abroad.

Determination of whether the customer acts on behalf and/or account of other persons,

Monitoring of customer activity for detection of any unusual activity/behaviour,

Identification and verification of the source of income,

Obtaining information about the reasons for operating with 360 Software Ltd.

In addition, enhanced due diligence measures are applied for customers who are regarded as risky by 360 Software Ltd as a result of the risk assessment to be performed during customer acceptance processes or subsequently. Notwithstanding the results of the risk assessment, application of enhanced measures and/or update of monitoring operations may be considered in accordance with the risky customer/transaction/sector assessments under international regulations and applicable practices.

The measures to be taken by 360 Software Ltd as part of the enhanced customer due diligence process include:

Identification of the customer, beneficial owner, authorized representatives (including composition of the company) and filtering of the same in case there is a risk of them being in international sanctions lists,

Verifying information

Based on the risk, and to the extent reasonable and practicable, the Company will ensure that it has a reasonable belief of the true identity of its customers. In verifying customer identity, shall review photo identification. 360 Software Ltd shall not attempt to determine whether the document that the customer has provided for identification has been validly issued. For verification purposes, the Company shall rely on a government-issued identification to establish a customer’s identity. 360 Software Ltd, however, will analyze the information provided to determine if there are any logical inconsistencies in the information obtained. 360 Software Ltd will document its verification, including all identifying information provided by the customer, the methods used and results of the verification.

This methodology is revised by the Company when a new risk specific to a customer or certain transactions arises, and the Company takes necessary measures in this respect. The Company will perform the detailed investigation measures of the customers in accordance with the general requirements prescribed under the regulations.
