引言
N S Capital (Global) Limited operates northstonecapital.net and provides the services described on this website. N S Capital (Global) Limited, incorporated on 22 April 2015 (Company No. C 74156), is based in Malta with its registered address at Level 4, W Business Centre, Triq Dun Karm, Birkirkara BKR9033, Malta, and is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority under the Investments Services Act to provide investment services (view licence: #).
This policy has two equal pillars. The first is our Know Your Client (KYC) programme: before you can trade, we must establish who you are, where you are resident and, where risk requires it, the source of your funds. The second is our anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing (AML/CTF) framework: the controls we use to detect, deter and report attempts to use the platform for criminal proceeds or terrorist financing.
Neither pillar is optional, for us or for you. We cannot open an account, accept a deposit or release a withdrawal until relevant KYC checks are complete, and we will not maintain a relationship with any client who refuses to provide information required by this policy. This document explains what information we collect, how it is verified, how accounts are monitored over time and what happens when activity cannot be explained.
监管框架
N S Capital (Global) Limited's AML/CTF framework is aligned with the Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international standard-setter for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The FATF Recommendations inform our risk-based approach, customer due diligence standards, record-keeping periods and suspicious-activity reporting procedures.
As a Malta-based investment-services firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority, N S Capital (Global) Limited is subject to applicable Maltese AML/CTF laws, rules and guidance, including obligations relating to customer due diligence, ongoing monitoring, sanctions screening, reporting and record keeping.
Where local law or an applicable regulator imposes a stricter requirement, we apply the stricter standard. Compliance reports to senior management and, where required, to the relevant competent authorities.
了解客户(KYC)与客户尽职调查
我们的 KYC 计划是本政策的第一道防线。客户尽职调查并非一次性的填表流程:它在账户开立之前即已开始,在出现风险指标时予以深化,并在业务关系存续的整个期间持续进行。该计划分为三个阶段——身份识别、身份核验和持续监控——详见下文。
尽职调查的力度与风险相称。标准尽职调查适用于大多数零售客户;简化措施绝不适用于对客户本人的身份识别;当客户本人、其所在地、其资金来源或其行为呈现较高风险时(包括客户为政治公众人物的情形),则适用强化尽职调查。
客户身份识别
在建立业务关系之前,我们对每一位客户进行身份识别。对于个人客户,我们至少收集:完整法定姓名、出生日期、国籍、居住地址,以及有效的政府签发带照片身份证件(如护照、国民身份证或驾驶执照)。我们还收集联系方式,以及关于客户职业、交易经验和账户预期用途的信息。
对于公司及其他非自然人客户,我们既识别法律实体本身——其名称、注册编号、注册地址和章程性文件——也识别其背后的自然人。这包括董事、获授权操作账户的人员,以及每一位最终受益所有人;上述每一人均须按照与个人客户相同的标准接受身份识别和核验。凡所有权无法追溯至可识别自然人的,我们不予开立账户。
核验流程
在账户可以入金或交易之前,身份识别信息须对照可靠且独立的来源进行核验。身份证件须通过经培训的人工审核与电子核验工具相结合的方式核查其真实性、有效性和一致性,包括在可行的情况下使用文件鉴证和生物特征比对。居住地址须对照身份证件或单独的地址证明(如以客户本人名义出具的水电煤账单或银行对账单)进行核验。
如核验无法以远程方式完成,我们可能要求提供补充文件、经认证的副本,或进行实时视频核验。未完成核验的账户将处于受限状态:不能进行交易,且收到的任何资金将退回其来源。
强化尽职调查适用于被评估为较高风险的客户,包括政治公众人物及其家庭成员和密切关联人。对于此类客户,我们将获取关于资金来源和财富来源的补充信息,并以工资单、税务记录、银行对账单或资产出售证明等书面证据加以佐证;在建立或继续该业务关系之前,须经合规职能高级人员批准。
持续监控
核验并不止于开户环节。我们在业务关系的整个存续期间对其进行监控,以确保账户活动与我们对客户的了解、其申报的资料及其资金来源相一致。自动化交易监控会标记需要审查的模式,包括与申报收入不符的入金、几乎或完全没有真实交易的资金快速进出、拆分付款,以及使用多种或频繁更换的支付方式。
客户记录保持更新。我们定期更新身份证明文件——对较高风险客户更为频繁——并在证件到期、账户资料发生重大变更或账户活动触发审查时重新核验身份。客户必须保持其信息处于最新状态,并配合提供更新文件的合理要求;未能做到的,账户可能被限制或关闭。
名单筛查既是持续性的,也是事件驱动的:客户在开户时及其后持续地接受适用制裁名单、政治公众人物数据库及负面媒体来源的筛查。
风险评估
我们按照 FATF 建议的要求,实行基于风险的方法。每位客户在开户时均被赋予风险评级,其依据因素包括:居住国和国籍;账户资金往来所涉及的司法管辖区;职业、业务活动和资金来源;预期入金规模和交易模式;客户是否为政治公众人物或与其有密切关联;以及建立业务关系所通过的渠道。
风险评级并非一成不变。当客户情况发生变化、监控发现异常活动以及进行定期审查时,评级将被重新计算。评级升高将触发强化尽职调查、更密切的监控和更频繁的文件更新;评级达到不可接受的程度,则意味着我们将拒绝建立或退出该业务关系。
集团还开展由高级管理层审议的全业务范围风险评估,涵盖我们提供的产品、我们服务的司法管辖区、我们的客户群体及我们的交付渠道。该评估的结果用于校准我们的控制措施,包括交易监控系统所适用的阈值。
可疑活动报告
每位员工均接受培训以识别洗钱和恐怖主义融资的迹象,并须将疑虑毫不延迟地在内部上报至相关实体的合规职能部门。内部报告由获任命的合规官进行调查,由其判定相关活动能否得到解释,抑或必须对外报告。
在实体依法负有相关义务的情况下,其将向其司法管辖区的金融情报机构或其他主管当局提交可疑活动报告或可疑交易报告。提交与否的决定权专属于合规职能部门;任何员工均无权认定某一事项因金额过小、过于不确定或在商业上过于敏感而无需报告。
法律禁止我们告知客户已提交报告或调查正在进行(即“通风报信”禁令)。因此,我们可能无法解释为何出金被延迟、账户被限制或业务关系被终止。在法律要求或允许的情况下,我们还可能在报告处于审议期间暂停处理相关交易。
记录保存
我们将通过客户尽职调查获得的全部记录——身份证明文件、核验结果、风险评估和账户档案——连同所有交易记录,自业务关系结束之日或交易发生之日(以较晚者为准)起至少保存五年;如相关实体所在司法管辖区的法律要求更长期限,则按其要求保存。
记录以能够重建单笔交易、并可应监管机构、金融情报机构和执法部门的合法要求及时提供的形式保存。存储和访问受我们《隐私政策》所述保障措施的约束;出于 AML/CTF 目的的留存属法定义务,在法定期限内优先于客户提出的删除请求。
培训与意识
全体员工在入职时及其后定期接受 AML/CTF 和 KYC 培训,培训内容根据其岗位量身定制。面向客户的员工和运营人员接受识别开户环节及支付流程中可疑行为的培训;合规人员就洗钱类型学、监管动态和报告义务接受更深入的培训;高级管理层接受与其监督职责相适应的培训。
培训内容至少涵盖:适用于相关实体的法律框架;客户身份识别和核验要求;危险信号和可疑模式的识别;内部上报程序及“通风报信”禁令;以及不遵守规定的个人后果,包括刑事责任。培训完成情况会被记录追踪,并构成每位员工档案的一部分。
禁止的活动
North Stone Capital 在任何情况下均不会:开立或维持匿名账户或以虚构姓名开立的账户;与空壳银行建立或继续业务关系,或与允许其账户被空壳银行使用的机构建立或继续业务关系;接受来自受适用全面制裁的国家和地区的客户,或处理涉及该等国家和地区的交易;或在知情的情况下为任何与洗钱、恐怖主义融资或犯罪所得相关的交易提供便利。
我们另行禁止滥用经纪账户的常见手段:第三方支付——入金必须来自、出金必须退回以客户本人名义持有的支付方式;现金存款;将账户用作通道、在无真实交易活动的情况下转移资金;以及为规避核验或监控控制而开立多个账户。凡支付方式允许,出金均退回原始入金的来源。
与当局的合作
N S Capital (Global) Limited cooperates fully with competent law-enforcement agencies, financial-intelligence units, the Malta Financial Services Authority and other authorities with lawful jurisdiction in the prevention, detection and investigation of money laundering and terrorist financing.
Cooperation includes responding promptly and completely to lawful requests for information, producing records within statutory deadlines, freezing or blocking accounts and transactions where a competent authority lawfully requires it, and giving effect to court orders and sanctions designations. Where information must be shared to meet these obligations, it is shared on a confidential basis and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
政策审查
This policy is reviewed at least annually by the compliance function and approved by senior management. Reviews take account of changes in the FATF Recommendations, Maltese law, MFSA expectations, sanctions regimes, typologies identified through monitoring and lessons learned from suspicious-activity reviews.
We may update this policy at any time. Material changes are reflected on the website and, where required, communicated through account notices or direct messages. Continued use of the services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
