Pin-Up KYC & AML Policy
KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards guide identity check, ID verification, and controls that prevent financial crime on Pin-Up in Nigeria. These practices protect user safety, account protection, and the integrity of the platform under Nigerian regulatory requirements. They also support counter-terrorism financing efforts and enable reporting obligations to competent authorities.
