Industry, legal and operations

# AML

The controls a firm operates to prevent its services being used to move criminal proceeds. In practice it means identity checks, monitoring for unusual patterns, and refusing payments that cannot be explained.

Also called: Anti-money laundering

GFN’s figure

GFN's KYC and AML checks help verify that accounts belong to genuine individual traders and help prevent fraud, identity misuse, duplicate-account abuse and other prohibited activity.

In detail

## AML, explained

AML obligations are why a payout cannot simply be sent to a different name or a different country on request. The checks exist independently of whether any individual trader is doing anything wrong.

They also explain duplicate-account controls: one person operating several identities is an AML problem before it is a trading-rules problem.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [KYC](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/kyc) - The process of confirming who owns an account, using identity documents and supporting information. It is required before money moves, and it is the most common cause of a delayed first payout.
- [Sanctions screening](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/sanctions-screening) - Checking customers and payments against sanctions lists before money moves. It is a legal obligation on the payments provider as much as on the firm, and it is not discretionary.
- [Restricted jurisdiction](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/restricted-jurisdiction) - A country a firm will not serve, for legal, regulatory, sanctions or payment-provider reasons. Restrictions can change, and they apply to where a trader actually is rather than what an address says.
- [Account sharing](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-sharing) - Letting someone else trade your account, or trading an account belonging to someone else. It defeats the purpose of an assessment of an individual, and it is prohibited everywhere in the industry without exception.
- [Payout denial](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/payout-denial) - A refused payout request. The common causes are a breach recorded before the payout was approved, incomplete identity verification, a mismatch in the receiving account, or trading that broke a conduct rule.
