Preventing Money Laundering
1. Definition of money laundering
The process of converting funds received from illegal activities (such as fraud, corruption, terrorism, etc.) into other funds or investments that look legitimate to hide or distort the real source of funds.
Modern society encounters a major challenge in anti-money laundering, which is defined as making the possession, use, or disposal of money or other property obtained from criminal activities appear legal, and terrorism financing, which is providing or gathering money or rendering financial services with the knowledge that the money is intended to finance the organization, preparation for, or execution of terrorist acts or to support them.
Illegal earners take many steps to legalize. They may use stolen personal data. Fraud victims who are not participating in these parties’ unlawful behavior may face this predicament.
2. Laws against money laundering
IUX is committed to the highest standards of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and counter-terrorism financing (CTF). To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person opening an account.

IUX will make sure that it is dealing with a real person or legal entity. IUX also performs all the required measures in accordance with applicable law and regulations issued by monetary authorities.

4. Compliance with the Privacy Agreement
