In our newsletter this week we have a whole host of new updates for you to peruse. In conjunction with our partners, Holdex, we are very excited to be able to offer our new community airdrop of PASS tokens to spread the benefits of PASS to a wider audience! We have two new articles to share with you, the first exploring the term 'Politically Exposed Person' and exploring what it means for financial institutions and others, the second looking at the issue of money laundering and how it can be prevented. In Current Offers section we continue to expand opportunities for Blockpass users with our latest partner, Cryoto Experts. Rounding off this edition of the newsletter we have our traditional 5 Minutes With interview which this time features Digital Marketing Manager Courtney Lau. We hope you have an enjoyable week; stay tuned for some more announcements coming soon!
Holdex Distributing Blockpass Airdrops
It's been more than two years since we began our partnership with Holdex and it has provided great opportunities for KYC applications and investment. In our most recent press release, we have now revealed that Holdex is going to be facilitating our new community airdrop.
Blockpass' proprietary token, PASS, is a KYC token which has a number of possible uses. This community airdrop is the latest way in which we are sharing PASS with our users; previously we have given out PASS through methods such as our quiz. Click here to read about the airdrop and find a link to claim 1000 PASS for the first 2000 people to sign up!.
Politically Exposed Persons and You
There are many aspects to KYC and AML compliance which, unless you are involved in the process, may not be well known or obvious. As part of our work at Blockpass we aim to shed some light on these different areas and terms so users that are interested can find out more about the area we work in. One of our latest articles focuses on Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), explaining what this term means and the requirements it brings.
The designation and handling of PEPs is an important stage in compliance due to the heightened potential risk of involvement in various illicit activities and the significant possible impact it would have because of their work or connections. Click here to find out about PEPs, the requirements for conducting business with them and how we can help.
Combating Money Laundering
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements represent a significant part of compliance for financial institutions and, along with KYC, determines both what companies need to watch out for, as well as how they should prepare to avoid facilitating it.
In our latest article, we take a look at the three stages of money laundering, along with five ways in which it can be thwarted. Click here to read about the money laundering process and different methods that can be implemented to improve its detection.
