Instantex

AML / KYC Policy

This policy explains how Instantex applies compliance controls, risk-based transaction review, identity verification, and fraud prevention measures when users request crypto exchange services.

Risk-based compliance

Instantex may review transactions, request additional information, pause orders, or refuse service where compliance risks are detected.

AML KYC Risk review

1. General Statement

Instantex follows a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering and user verification. We may review transactions, request additional information, or restrict access to the service where there are compliance concerns or legal reasons to do so.

By using instantex.io, you acknowledge that certain exchange requests may be subject to automated or manual compliance review.

2. Purpose of AML / KYC Controls

The purpose of these controls is to help prevent the use of Instantex for unlawful or abusive activity, including but not limited to:

  • money laundering;
  • terrorist financing;
  • fraud and deception;
  • use of stolen assets;
  • sanctions evasion;
  • other prohibited financial activity.

3. Risk-Based Review

Not every transaction is handled in the same way. Instantex may apply different levels of review depending on factors such as:

  • transaction size;
  • wallet exposure;
  • frequency of orders;
  • geographic risk signals;
  • blockchain tracing indicators;
  • alerts from compliance systems or service partners.

Where elevated risk is detected, the exchange request may be paused for additional review.

4. Identity Verification

Instantex reserves the right to request identity verification at any stage before, during, or after a transaction request if it is necessary for compliance, security, or fraud prevention purposes.

Verification may be requested in cases such as:

  • high-value transactions;
  • suspicious transaction patterns;
  • inconsistent order details;
  • exposure to high-risk wallet activity;
  • suspected sanctions-related concerns;
  • internal review triggers.

5. Information We May Request

Where verification is required, Instantex may request one or more of the following:

  • full legal name;
  • date of birth;
  • country of residence;
  • government-issued identification;
  • proof of address;
  • selfie or liveness check;
  • wallet ownership confirmation;
  • explanation of transaction purpose;
  • source-of-funds documentation.

Users must provide accurate and truthful information. Instantex may reject incomplete, misleading, or unverifiable submissions.

6. Blockchain and Wallet Screening

Instantex may use internal procedures and third-party compliance tools to assess blockchain-related risks connected to wallet addresses and transfers. This may include review of direct or indirect exposure to:

  • sanctioned entities;
  • stolen funds;
  • fraud-related wallets;
  • darknet markets;
  • ransomware-related activity;
  • mixers or obfuscation services;
  • other high-risk sources.

A transaction associated with elevated blockchain risk may be delayed, refused, or subject to enhanced verification.

7. Source of Funds Review

In certain cases, Instantex may request documents or explanations confirming the lawful origin of digital assets or funds involved in a transaction. Such documents may include exchange records, wallet screenshots, transaction histories, invoices, or other supporting materials.

Failure to provide requested information within a reasonable period may result in cancellation of the request or denial of service, where permitted by law and technical conditions.

8. Prohibited Use

Users may not use Instantex for any illegal or prohibited purpose. This includes attempts to process assets connected to criminal conduct, evade compliance checks, or conceal the origin of funds.

Instantex may refuse service where there is a reasonable belief that a user, wallet, or transaction is linked to unlawful activity.

9. Holds, Refusals, and Restrictions

Instantex reserves the right to:

  • suspend transaction processing;
  • request verification documents;
  • refuse an exchange request;
  • limit access to the service;
  • report suspicious activity where required by law or regulation.

Instantex is under no obligation to complete any order that fails internal compliance review.

10. Third-Party Providers

Some parts of transaction processing may involve external partners, liquidity providers, technical operators, or compliance services. Where needed, transaction-related data may be reviewed by such parties in connection with order execution, fraud checks, or legal obligations.

11. Data Retention and Protection

Information collected for AML / KYC review may be stored for a reasonable period where necessary for legal compliance, security, dispute handling, or audit purposes. Instantex takes reasonable measures to protect submitted information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

For more information about personal data handling, please review the Privacy Policy available on instantex.io.

12. Restricted Jurisdictions

Instantex may restrict or refuse access to users located in, connected with, or acting on behalf of sanctioned or otherwise restricted jurisdictions, persons, or entities.

Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the service complies with the laws applicable to them.

13. Cooperation With Authorities

Where required by applicable law, lawful request, court order, or regulatory obligation, Instantex may cooperate with competent authorities and provide information relevant to compliance review or investigation.
