Effective Date: September 13, 2025
MANDATORY NOTICE: GMTX.EXCHANGE adheres to applicable European Union AML/CTF frameworks, including the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (as implemented by Member States), the forthcoming single EU AML Rulebook, and guidance from the European Banking Authority (EBA) and Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Any attempt to circumvent these requirements will result in immediate suspension or termination and may be reported to the competent Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and other authorities.
This AML policy aims to detect, prevent, and report money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and other illicit financial activity within the EU context. All Members operating in, from, or into the EU must cooperate fully with GMTX.EXCHANGE in implementing and maintaining AML/CTF controls.
GMTX.EXCHANGE will file suspicious transaction/activity reports with the competent FIU of the relevant EU Member State, and will cooperate with law-enforcement and supervisory authorities as required. Members will not be notified of such filings where prohibited (“tipping-off” restrictions).
GMTX.EXCHANGE screens Members and transactions against EU restrictive measures and other applicable sanctions regimes. Accounts connected to sanctioned persons, entities, sectors, or jurisdictions may be frozen, restricted, or terminated and reported to the appropriate authorities.
CDD/KYB data, transaction records, and internal reports are retained for at least five (5) years after the end of the business relationship or the date of an occasional transaction, or longer where permitted or required by applicable Member State law. Members acknowledge that information may be shared with obliged entities and competent authorities as permitted or required by law.
Processing of personal data for AML/CTF purposes is conducted in accordance with applicable EU data-protection laws. AML data is limited to what is necessary, retained only for required periods, and safeguarded with appropriate technical and organizational measures, subject to legal requests and supervisory oversight.
All AML-related information is classified as Confidential Information under the GMTX Terms of Service & Non-Disclosure Agreement. Members are strictly prohibited from disclosing internal compliance procedures, monitoring triggers, or regulatory communications. Breach will result in immediate expulsion and potential civil or criminal liability.
By using GMTX.EXCHANGE within the EU context, each Member represents and warrants that:
Non-compliance will result in immediate suspension or termination of access, potential asset freezes, and reporting to the competent FIU and supervisory and law-enforcement authorities. GMTX.EXCHANGE may pursue all remedies available in law and equity, including injunctive relief and damages.
This EU AML Statement is governed by the laws of the relevant EU Member State designated by GMTX.EXCHANGE for the Member’s EU relationship, without prejudice to directly applicable EU law. The competent courts of that Member State shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to this Statement.
FINAL NOTICE: AML/CTF compliance is a continuing obligation. Any attempt to conceal identity or ownership, provide falsified documents, or engage in suspicious activity will result in immediate expulsion and aggressive legal action, including referral to the competent FIU and other enforcement bodies.
