Compliance/AML

At ArtCap, we ensure our clients enjoy a smooth, professional trading experience

Compliance & AML are essential for forex companies

Forex companies navigate a world of currency exchange while keeping a watchful eye on illegal activity. Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs are their safety net. These programs ensure forex companies follow regulations and have robust procedures to identify and prevent money laundering. Strong compliance reduces the risk of criminals using the forex market to clean dirty money. This protects the company’s reputation, fosters trust with clients and investors and attracts new business. Compliance also avoids hefty fines and potential license suspensions from regulatory bodies. Ultimately, a commitment to compliance and AML safeguards the forex market and keeps it a trusted and secure environment for everyone.

Good governance is important to our organization:

In addition to being essential to our organization’s success, sound governance also ensures the safety of our employees and clients. Governments everywhere have acknowledged that there are serious concerns associated with terrorism, money laundering, and the financing of criminal activity. Furthermore, tax evasion and financial crime stifle markets and threaten offshore financial systems. ArtCap’s strong risk management procedures and efficient, well-established internal control system include pre-trade and post-trade fraud detection systems. Qualified global compliance teams protect our clients while fighting money laundering and terrorism funding. They also make sure we follow all relevant laws.
