Enterprise Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA)
As part of its risk-based approach, HapaBox conducted an AML "Enterprise Wide Risk Assessment" (EWRA) to identify and understand the risks specific to HapaBox and its business lines. The HapaBox’s AML risk policy is determined after identifying and recording the risks inherent in its business terms (such as the products and services provided by the website). Banks, the geographic location of the banking business, customers and transactions, and other qualitative or emerging risks.
The identification of AML risk categories is based on HapaBox's understanding of regulatory requirements, regulatory expectations and industry guidance.
EWRA will be reassessed every year.
HapaBox has established standards for "Know Your Customer" ("KYC"). According to these standards, each customer with a risk-related profile must undergo Due Diligence. This involves identifying and verifying their identity, their representatives and their beneficial owners based on documents, data or information from a reliable and independent source. This also helps to assess the credibility of the information provided by HapaBox. The source complies with domestic and European anti-money laundering laws and regulations.
The first step of applying the KYC principle is to verify the customer’s identity using the required identification documents.
