What is Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC)? Why do I have to go through this process to gain access to your platform?

As a member of Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global anti-money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, Australia is committed to uphold the FATF standards and to safeguard our financial system.

Australia’s compliance with AML and CTF requirements is overseen by AUSTRAC. Austrac performs a dual role as Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter- terrorism financing regulator and financial intelligence unit. All financial institutions in Australia thus play a part in safeguarding our financial system by conducting appropriate checks to prevent and deter money laundering and terrorist financing activities through Australia. 

As part of Australia’s financial system, Fraxtor also plays a part in upholding the integrity of our financial system. Thus, our users are required to go through our client verification and AML checks as part of the onboarding process. This check will be repeated periodically in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Our AML CTF checks are a standard procedure used by financial service providers like us, to verify the identity and background of our investors.

AML checks refer to measures used to detect and deter illicit flow of funds through Australia.

Such rigorous checks, though may appear cumbersome and intrusive to some, play a crucial role in upholding the reputation and integrity of Australia’s financial system. 

Why does Fraxtor need information on my tax residency?

We are required by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS) to identify the tax residence of our customers.

I am unsure how to approach the Tax Residency Declaration section, what should I do?

We advise you to consult your accountant or legal advisor.

Do I need to pay when I sign up with Fraxtor as an investor?

Opening an account with Fraxtor is free. However, there will be fees incurred when you invest in our product offerings.
