AML & KYC Policy Summary
At Athena Technology, we are committed to complying with international trade standards by adhering to legislation aimed at combating money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). Guided by the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), our Compliance Department has implemented robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. These measures are mandatory for all employees and customers, ensuring that our operations align with international standards and legal requirements.
