KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks are performed for every potential investor to confirm identity and to ensure compliance with Singapore’s regulatory requirements, as well as the recommendations set forth by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global standard-setter for prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing.
These checks are required by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and are standard practice across reputable investment jurisdictions. They serve to protect all participating parties on the platform: investors, tokenized asset issuers, and InvestaX.
In practice, KYC/AML checks typically involve verifying personal documents such as a government-issued identity card or passport, proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement, and any wallets the investor may use to fund their investments in tokenized assets.
