This Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Policy ("AML Policy") sets out the framework, procedures, and commitments of Railon ("Company") to prevent the use of our platform and services for money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.
This policy is established in accordance with Mexico's Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Transactions with Resources of Illicit Origin (Ley Federal para la Prevención e Identificación de Operaciones con Recursos de Procedencia Ilícita) and applicable international standards including FATF recommendations.
Railon is committed to the highest standards of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) compliance. We will not knowingly facilitate transactions related to the proceeds of criminal activity, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or any other financial crime.
As a technology infrastructure provider, Railon's AML/CTF obligations are discharged through a combination of our own compliance program and the licensed financial partners through whom all regulated financial activities are processed. Our partners maintain their own full AML/CTF programs as required by their licenses.
We adopt a risk-based approach to AML/CTF compliance, calibrating our controls to the level of risk presented by each client, transaction, and corridor. Risk factors considered include:
All business clients must complete our KYB process prior to accessing the Services. This includes:
KYB verification is not a one-time event. We conduct:
All transactions processed through Railon's infrastructure are subject to automated monitoring for indicators of suspicious activity, including:
All clients, beneficial owners, and transaction counterparties are screened against applicable sanctions lists at onboarding and on an ongoing basis, including:
Any match or potential match triggers an immediate review process. Transactions involving sanctioned parties are blocked.
Clients are assigned a risk classification (Standard, Enhanced, or Declined) based on the outcome of KYB assessment and ongoing monitoring. Enhanced due diligence applies to clients classified as higher risk, including those with complex ownership structures, PEP connections, or operations in higher-risk jurisdictions.
Where suspicious activity is identified, Railon and its licensed financial partners fulfill their respective reporting obligations under applicable law, including filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) or equivalent reports with competent authorities as required. Client tipping-off restrictions apply in all cases.
We maintain records of all KYC/KYB documentation, transaction records, and compliance decisions for a minimum of five (5) years as required under Mexican AML law, and longer where required by our licensed financial partners' regulatory obligations.
All Railon personnel with compliance responsibilities receive regular training on AML/CTF obligations, typologies, and procedures. Training is updated in line with regulatory developments.
Railon will not onboard or continue to service clients whose business activities include:
