As a pioneering platform in digital asset trading, Gate.io has always prioritized the safety, stability, and reliability of its customers' experiences. The platform has established a comprehensive risk-based Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorism Financing/Sanctions (AML/CTF/Sanctions) program in line with international standards and practices, reflecting its commitment to fostering a secure environment for digital asset trading.

Gate.io's AML/CTF/Sanctions program represents a strong commitment to preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activities on the platform. This is achieved by implementing robust internal controls, including a set of AML/CTF/Sanctions regimes, standards, procedures, and other policy documents, all designed to create a risk-averse trading environment.

**Embracing KYC, CDD, and EDD Procedures**
A key part of Gate.io's anti-money laundering strategy revolves around Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) procedures. Gate.io has meticulously written KYC/CDD policies and procedures, and all customers must undergo KYC procedures before they begin trading.
This methodical approach to KYC involves different levels according to a risk-based approach. Customers are given different permissions through these levels based on a comprehensive evaluation of their risk profiles. And to enhance the KYC verification, Gate.io also cooperates with world-renowned identity authentication risk solution providers.

**Ongoing Reviews and Global Sanctions Control**
The platform also conducts ongoing reviews and monitoring of the customers' transactions and profiles based on their risk ratings, with EDD implemented for higher-risk clients, and take timely and necessary controls to mitigate risks. Gate.io maintains a stringent global sanctions review procedure with real-time updated global sanctions database, a comprehensive transaction monitoring system integrated with well-known blockchain KYT solution providers for abnormal activities, and meticulous record-keeping practices. Together, these controls ensure that Gate.io does not engage with any sanctioned customer or customer beyond its risk tolerance.

**Risk Management and Restricted Locations**
Gate.io boasts a comprehensive risk management system. It has built a detailed risk control factor database and risk monitoring system, conducting real-time risk control inspections on its business operations. By closely monitoring various risk control indicators for early warnings and overruns, Gate.io ensures the asset security of the platform and its users, as well as a safe and healthy trading environment.
The platform also maintains a list of countries/regions where it does not provide services and implements stringent controls to intercept and manage potential risks in a timely manner.

**Independent and Professional Risk Control & AML Team**
Gate.io's independent and professional risk control team is at the helm of these risk control measures and reports directly to the CEO. The team members hold relevant qualifications such as CAMS, CGSS, Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), etc., bringing many years of compliance and risk control experience in both traditional financial and crypto industries to the platform.

These measures are complemented by initial and continuing training for all related personnel, not only the Risk Control and AML team, but also all employees of Gate.io, ensuring every team member is equipped with up-to-date proper knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate potential risks in their positions.

**Towards a Secure Cryptocurrency Future**
