ACE Exchange Tackles Cryptocurrency Money Laundering With KPMG, KGI Bank and CYBAVO
TAIPEI, Sept. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

As nations around the world step up trying to take control over 
cryptocurrencies to prevent financial crimes, ACE 
Exchange(https://ace.io/home), a leading cryptocurrency exchange based in 
Taiwan, has proactively implemented numerous measures to meet relevant 
requirements and help tackle money laundering, aiding Taiwan's regulatory 
authorities to establish a secure and transparent cryptocurrency environment. 

To achieve this, ACE Exchange has formed partnerships with KPMG, KGI Bank, 
CYBAVO and Lockton to offer protection against anti-money laundering (AML) and 
other financial crimes on its platform, providing a secured crypto trading 
platform for all users.

Crypto assets have gained tremendous traction in recent years especially among 
young investors. Its exponential growth in popularity has also raised concerns 
over the inherent risks of unregulated transactions between cryptocurrency 
holders. To prevent cryptocurrencies from becoming the conduits for money 
laundering, authorities have tightened regulations for the industry, including 
the new Taiwan's cryptocurrency 
rules(https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2021/04/21/2003756045) 
enacted on July 1 which require cryptocurrency exchanges to verify and evaluate 
user identities.

"ACE Exchange has cooperated with KPMG to put in place relevant measures to 
fight against money laundering and terrorism financing practices by strictly 
scrutinizing user information and identities even before the rollout of the new 
Taiwanese AML regulations for cryptocurrencies. We have also joint hands with 
Taiwan's criminal and investigative authorities to help establish well-rounded 
anti-money laundering mechanisms within the crypto space," said David Pan, 
Founder of ACE Exchange.

Security is ACE Exchange's top priority

ACE Exchange provides dual protection for the New Taiwan dollar and crypto 
assets. In 2020, the company collaborated with KGI Bank to set up "FIA Fund 
Trust Custody". Powered by the world-renowned blockchain security firm CYBAVO, 
ACE Exchange is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital asset security system 
and third-party digital wallet for users. 

Meanwhile ACE Exchange's partnership with the S&P AA-rated international 
insurance company Lockton allows users to enjoy all-around protection. 

Since its inception, ACE Exchange has set priority on security and user 
protection, which laid a robust groundwork for regulatory compliance regarding 
AML and KYL in partnership with world-leading law firms, accounting firms and 
financial institutions. 

In early 2018, ACE Exchange received guidance from KPMG to set up transaction 
procedures and ensure regulatory compliance to address AML and countering the 
financing of terrorism (CTF) risks. 

In 2021, Rex Chu, Risk Consultant and Executive Vice President of Forensic 
Accounting Services of KPMG Taiwan, assisted ACE Exchange in planning the 
product development and operating procedures in accordance with relevant 
Taiwan's laws and regulations, to meet the standards of high-profile financial 
banks. It has placed ACE Exchange at the forefront of the crypto industry in 
building and strengthening its risk management protocols and user protection 
mechanisms.
