KYC – KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER
Know your customer is a structured policy of collecting data from people who want to join a token offering company, in our case, as well as other financial businesses – credit institutions, brokerage houses, banks, and payment means services.
KYC is an obligation in Brazil, provided for by the Central Bank and is aimed at:
- Identify and validate each customer who will access and move the token platform;
- Ensure document legality and customer tracking;
- Get to know him more deeply;
- Identify suspicious patterns from the data;
- Anticipate to prevent unlawful acts;
- Classify customers into different levels of risk.
KYC is also an important tool for the tokenizer to enrich its relationships with customers, directing them to the best products according to their trading history and investor profile.
AML ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
AML – anti-money laundering – is a set of regulations, procedures, and laws that aim to curb criminal practices in the financial system.
The focus of AML is on financial institutions – of which token offering companies like BLOCKBR are a part – so that they can identify and monitor their target customers:
- Understand the nature of your activities;
- Identify possible suspects of financial wrongdoing;
- Prevent crimes from being committed using the company’s digital ecosystem;
AML investigation measures are taken by BLOCKBR immediately after the registration request, including if the applicant:
- He is a politically exposed person;
- It is on some authorities’ attention list;
- It has legal irregularities (passport, visa, corporate records).
In addition to the association’s preventive measures, we must meet the requirements of financial crime watchdogs:
- Keep records of your customers for at least 5 years;
- Implement policies and internal controls to combat money laundering;
- Inform COAF of suspicious movements within 24 hours.
The ideal policy in a tokenizing company is to combine KYC and AML actions and, by doing so, maximize the efficiency of each resource and further enhance the company’s operational security.
With know your customer and anti-money laundering, tokenizing asset companies promote platforms of token business integrity, giving customers the security of buying and selling tokens in a healthy environment.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR BLOCKBR ACCOUNT MORE SECURE
ENABLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
2FA or two-factor authentication is a protection mechanism of great importance when using platforms that handle financial data, as it enables security to be strengthened with every access.
With two-step verification you use a temporary, unique password that, combined with your usual login credentials, prevents cyber-attacks from requiring only the default password, which can be hacked or even guessed by sophisticated electronic means.
In general, authentication sites and applications generate QR codes that can be read by cell phones or alphanumeric keys to be entered on computers. With this, your operations of buying and selling tokens and withdrawals gain an important security boost.
CREATE AN ANTI-PHISHING ROUTINE
Phishing is a criminal digital practice that lures the user with a fraudulent communication to gain access to sensitive data – identity, access credentials, credit card data, checking accounts, and investment balances.
In possession of the data, the criminal can access your accounts and move balances without this being noticed by the platforms.
Here are some actions to avoid phishing and protect your local data (computer and cell phone).

EMAIL CARE
- Save the trusted senders of each company (promotions, relationship, operations) to make it easier to identify the fake emails;
- Don’t click on links to overly advantageous offers from stores if the sender doesn’t seem safe. This can take you to pages used for credential capturing;
- For alert e-mails (points expiring, lack of payment), do not click on the links. Open your account to check it out;
- Do not interact with e-mails that inform you that your account has been hacked. Contact the company through the service channels.
NAVIGATION CARE
- Don’t skimp on the antivirus. There are great free programs, but there are paid programs with great prices and more protection;
- Avoid using two antivirus programs. Besides not giving full protection, it creates conflict and impairs the functioning of both;
- Try to save pages to favorites. This way you avoid searching for a site in the browser search and falling for a fake link.
In phishing, cybercriminals obtain the history of places the user frequently accesses through computer or mobile security vulnerabilities and malpractices.
With the history, they create a fake communication in the name of companies known to the user and do not arouse suspicion. Therefore, it is crucial to apply these measures above to defend yourself against suspicious actions.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Financial account access data is the ultimate goal of cybercriminals, but their starting point is public personal information on social networks.
With this data they can create fake company communications and thereby have the same effect as they do with e-mails. Ransomware – data hijacking with ransom demands, usually with bitcoins – can start from data captured from social networks!
So be as strict as possible with your public data.
