ParlyPay is committed to maintaining a comprehensive compliance programme designed to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, sanctions violations, and other financial crimes. Our compliance framework is risk-based, technology-driven, and embedded throughout the customer lifecycle—from onboarding and identity verification to transaction monitoring, ongoing due diligence, and regulatory reporting.
Our program includes written policies and procedures, designated compliance oversight, employee training, independent testing, enterprise-wide risk assessments, recordkeeping, and continuous monitoring to support a secure, transparent, and compliant cross-border payments and escrow platform.

- Unusual account activity
- Adverse media findings
Depending on the circumstances, additional documentation may include proof of address, source of funds, source of wealth, business documentation, contracts, invoices, or other supporting information.
Ongoing Customer Due Diligence
Customer due diligence is an ongoing process. ParlyPay may periodically review customer information, refresh verification records, reassess customer risk profiles, and request updated documentation where necessary to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.
Sanctions Screening
ParlyPay maintains a comprehensive sanctions screening programme designed to prevent prohibited persons, organisations, and jurisdictions from accessing our platform.
Screening is performed throughout the customer relationship, including during account onboarding, account updates, and, where appropriate, prior to the execution of certain transactions.
Screening may include:

- Take any action required under applicable laws and regulations
Transaction Monitoring
ParlyPay monitors customer activity to detect potential money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, sanctions evasion, and other unlawful financial activity.
Our monitoring program combines automated technology with human oversight to identify unusual or potentially suspicious activity based on transaction patterns, customer risk profiles, account behaviour, and other relevant indicators.
Monitoring may consider factors such as:
- Transaction frequency
- Transaction value
- Geographic risk
- Customer behaviour
- Device and account security indicators
- Transaction consistency with expected account activity
Where appropriate, ParlyPay may:
- Request additional information or supporting documentation
- Delay or suspend transactions while reviews are conducted
- Apply enhanced due diligence measures
- Restrict account functionality
- Decline transactions that present unacceptable risk
- Report suspicious or reportable activity to the appropriate authorities where required by applicable law
Regulatory Reporting
ParlyPay maintains procedures to identify, investigate, document, and report financial activity where reporting obligations arise under applicable laws and regulations.
Where legally required, ParlyPay may submit reports relating to suspicious activity, reportable currency transactions, sanctions matters, or other regulatory reporting obligations to the appropriate governmental authorities.
To preserve the integrity of financial crime investigations, ParlyPay does not disclose whether regulatory reports have been filed or may be filed concerning any customer or transaction, except where required by law.
Recordkeeping
ParlyPay maintains records relating to:
- Customer identification and verification
- Account information
- Transaction history
- Compliance reviews
- Risk assessments
