WHAT MAKES Punt CLASSIFY A CUSTOMER AS HIGH RISK?

Punt continually screens accepted customer’s information, purchases, redemptions, game activity and behaviors for relevant financial crime risk indicators. Depending on the specific facts and context, customers will be classified as having a low, medium or high risk level. Punt will classify a customer as high risk where they present or are likely to present money laundering, funding of terrorism or other financial crime risk which has financial or reputational consequences to Punt.

While Punt seeks to investigate any financial crime risk alerts within a reasonable timeframe, compliance with applicable laws may result in delays while additional due diligence is conducted and relevant information obtained.

WHAT KIND OF EXTRA INFORMATION WILL Punt REQUEST?

If Punt classifies you as high risk or determines that extra information is required, you may be asked to provide information on, or evidence of, your:

1. income-generating activities
2. estimated net worth or sources of wealth
3. anticipated pattern and level of Gold Coin purchases
4. sources of funds used on a particular Gold Coin purchase transaction or series of Gold Coin purchase transactions
5. identity attributes in question including name, date of birth and address.

If you fail or refuse to submit, within the timeframe communicated by Punt, the required information, Punt reserves the right to terminate the business relationship with you and close your account.
