AML/CFT Commitment of RockBridge

At Rockbridge, we recognize that financial crimes threaten the integrity of global financial systems and undermine trust in crypto-asset services.

To combat money laundering (AML) and terrorist financing (CFT), we have implemented a risk-based AML/CFT Framework compliant with:

  • EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (AMLD6).
  • Bulgarian Anti-Money Laundering Act.
  • FATF Recommendations for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
 

Our Framework Includes

  • Governance: Clear roles, including a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO).
  • Risk Assessments: Regular evaluation of enterprise-wide and client-specific risks.
  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD):
    • Identity verification (KYC) for all clients.
    • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk clients (e.g., PEPs, cross-border transactions).
  • Sanctions Screening: Real-time checks against EU/UN/US sanctions lists.
  • Transaction Monitoring: Detection of suspicious activity (e.g., unusual crypto-to-fiat patterns).
  • Reporting: Mandatory submission of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to Bulgaria’s Financial Intelligence Directorate (FID).
  • Training: Annual AML/CFT training for all employees.
 

Zero-Tolerance Stance

We do not engage with individuals or entities involved in:

  • Illegal activities (e.g., fraud, ransomware, darknet markets).
  • Sanctioned jurisdictions or prohibited industries (e.g., unlicensed gambling).
  • Attempts to obscure crypto transaction origins (e.g., mixing services).
 

Continuous Improvement

Our Framework is regularly updated to address emerging risks, including:

  • Crypto-Specific Threats: Anonymity-enhancing technologies, cross-border liquidity pools.
  • Regulatory Changes: MiCA compliance readiness, evolving EU/Bulgarian guidelines.
