Compliance Officer
The Compliance Officer is the person, duly authorized by Blingwin, whose duty is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of the KYC Policy.

Blingwin performs a variety of compliance-related tasks, including capturing data, filtering, record-keeping, investigation management, and reporting. System functionalities include:
Daily check of Users against recognized “black lists” (e.g. PAGCOR National Database of Restricted Persons), aggregating transfers by multiple data points, placing Users on watch and service denial lists, opening cases for investigation where needed, sending internal communications and filling out statutory reports, if applicable;

Risk Assessment
Blingwin, in line with the PAGCOR compliance, has adopted a risk-based approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. By adopting a risk-based approach, Blingwin is able to ensure that measures to prevent or mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing are commensurate to the identified risks. This will allow resources to be allocated in the most efficient ways. The principle is that resources should be directed in accordance with priorities so that the greatest risks receive the highest attention.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy
Money laundering is defined as the process intended to mask benefits derived from serious criminal offenses or criminal conduct, as described under Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9160, to make it appear that such benefits originated from a legitimate source. Generally, money laundering is composed of three (3) stages involving several transactions which could alert an intermediary such as the Company to the money laundering activity:
Placement – the physical act of disposing of the cash proceeds drawn from illegal activities
Layering – the act of separating illicit proceeds from their source by creating complex tiers of financial transactions in order to disguise the audit trail and provide anonymity
Integration – the act of providing an appearance of legitimacy to criminally- derived wealth. If the layering process is successful, the integration step places the laundered proceeds back into the economy in a manner that their re-entry into the financial system has the appearance of being normal business funds
Blingwin Anti-Money Laundering Strategies
Blingwin endeavors to apply the following principles in order to detect, prevent and oppose the use of the Company’s services for money laundering and terrorist financing:
Established and duly appointed Compliance Official
Know-Your-Customer Process (CDD and EDD)
Reporting to the AMLC
Ongoing Employee Training
Ongoing monitoring and Compliance Testing
Record Keeping and Data Retention in accordance with AML laws and regulations
Internal Audit Function.
Regulatory Compliance
Blingwin ensures that its business is conducted in conformity with the height of ethical standards, that laws and regulations are respected and complied with whenever possible, and that service is not provided where there is good reason to believe that transactions are associated with money laundering activities.
Partnership with Philippine Law Enforcement Agencies
Within the legal constraints relative to client confidentiality, Blingwin cooperates with law enforcement agencies. This includes taking appropriate measures within the law if there are reasonable grounds for suspecting money laundering. Any disclosure made in conjunction with the Act shall be made to the applicable governing body.
