Effective Date: October 5, 2023
Introduction
The purpose of this policy is to outline the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures that Pursaa Financial Services Ltd (hereafter referred to as "Pursaa") will implement to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Pursaa is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and is committed to taking all necessary measures to prevent fraudulent activity and safeguard the interests of our valued customers.
Customer Identification
Pursaa will establish and maintain a comprehensive Customer Identification Program (CIP) aimed at accurately identifying and verifying the identity of our customers. This process will encompass the collection and verification of essential customer information, including but not limited to names, addresses, dates of birth, and government-issued identification documents.
Authentication Modes
Pursaa is dedicated to ensuring the authenticity of customer transactions through the utilization of multiple authentication modes, which include:
Email Verification: Upon customer registration with Pursaa, a verification email will be sent to the registered email address. Customers are required to confirm their email address by clicking on the provided verification link.
Identity Verification: Pursaa will utilize identity verification services to authenticate the identities of our customers. This process involves cross-referencing customer-provided information with public records and other reliable sources.
Phone Verification: To confirm the accuracy of the provided phone number, Pursaa will send a verification code to the customer's registered phone number. Customers must enter this code to complete the verification process.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Pursaa will implement two-factor authentication (2FA) as an additional layer of security for customer transactions. 2FA involves sending a verification code to the customer's registered phone number or email address, which the customer must enter to complete the transaction.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
Pursaa is committed to conducting ongoing monitoring of customer transactions to promptly detect any suspicious activity. This monitoring entails the scrutiny of transactions for unusual patterns or amounts, as well as any transactions involving high-risk countries or individuals.

Regular training sessions will encompass various aspects of KYC, including customer identification, authentication, customer due diligence, and transaction monitoring. Additionally, employees will be required to annually certify their understanding of Pursaa's KYC policies and procedures.
Reporting and Record-Keeping
Pursaa will maintain comprehensive records pertaining to customer identification, authentication, and transaction monitoring in accordance with local laws and regulations. Pursaa is also committed to reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities as mandated by applicable law.
Conclusion
Pursaa is unwavering in its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of KYC compliance.
