This Procedure applies to all Directors, officers, employees, consultants and other relevant persons acting on behalf of the Company.
This Procedure shall be read together with the Company's AML, CFT, KYC/CDD, Risk Management, Record Retention and Employee AML/CFT Training Policies.
All employees and relevant personnel shall remain reasonably vigilant for activities that appear unusual, inconsistent with a known customer or merchant profile, or otherwise give rise to a reasonable concern of financial crime.
An employee is not required to establish or prove that criminal activity has occurred before making an internal report. A genuine and reasonable concern shall be sufficient for internal escalation.
Employees shall:
The Company shall designate an appropriate Compliance Officer or Compliance Function responsible for receiving and reviewing internal suspicious activity referrals.
Where a Principal Officer or other designated officer is appointed or legally required, such person may perform the relevant responsibilities under this Procedure.
No employee shall be penalised merely for making a genuine internal report in good faith, even where the activity is subsequently determined not to be suspicious.
Suspicious activity may include an actual, attempted or proposed transaction, conduct or pattern that:
The presence of one or more red flags does not automatically establish unlawful activity. Each case shall be assessed based on the available facts and circumstances.
The above indicators are illustrative and not exhaustive.
Where suspicious or unusual activity is identified, the following process shall ordinarily apply:
Step 1 - Identification and Internal Referral
The employee or relevant person identifying the concern shall promptly report it through the authorised internal channel, which may include the Reporting Manager, Compliance Officer or Compliance Function.
The referral should contain available information relating to:
Step 2 - Compliance Review
The Compliance Officer or authorised function shall review the matter and may consider:
Additional information may be obtained internally or through legally permissible means, provided that the concerned customer or person is not unnecessarily alerted to the review.

Where ZESTFLOW is directly required under applicable law to submit a Suspicious Transaction Report ("STR") or other report to FIU-IND or another competent authority, the report shall be made by the duly authorised officer in the prescribed manner and within the applicable timeline.
Where the relevant statutory reporting obligation rests with a bank, financial institution, payment service provider or other regulated partner institution, the Company shall promptly provide or escalate relevant information to such institution in accordance with applicable law and contractual arrangements.
Nothing in this Procedure shall be interpreted as requiring the Company to make a direct regulatory filing where no such legal obligation applies to the Company.
The Company may cooperate with competent authorities and regulated partner institutions and provide information where required or permitted under applicable law.
Any restriction, blocking, freezing or other action affecting funds or transactions shall be undertaken only where legally authorised or required, or in coordination with the relevant regulated partner institution or competent authority.
All suspicious activity referrals, reviews, investigations, decisions and external reports shall be treated as strictly confidential.
No employee or unauthorised person shall inform a customer, merchant or other concerned person that:
except where disclosure is authorised or required under applicable law.
Employees shall avoid any communication or action that may improperly alert the concerned person or prejudice an internal review, investigation or lawful reporting process.
A material breach of confidentiality or deliberate tipping-off may result in disciplinary, contractual or legal action.
The Company shall maintain appropriate records relating to:
Such records shall be maintained securely and access shall be restricted to authorised persons on a need-to-know basis.
Records shall be retained in accordance with applicable law and the Company's Record Retention & Data Preservation Policy.

Failure to report a material suspicious activity, deliberate suppression or concealment of relevant information, destruction of relevant records, tipping-off or failure to
cooperate with an authorised review may result in appropriate disciplinary, contractual or legal action.
