3. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
3.1. The CDD process assesses risk at the point of onboarding and throughout the client relationship. It includes identity verification, evaluation of financial background and geographic location, and ongoing transaction monitoring.
3.2. For LATAM-region clients, nomo uses region-specific verification tools including national ID systems (e.g., Brazil CPF, Mexico CURP), tax compliance documents (e.g., RFC), and government databases (e.g., SAT in Mexico). Biometric verification is applied where applicable. AML/KYC communications are available in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
3.3. Failure to provide required documentation or cooperate with CDD processes may result in account suspension, withdrawal restrictions, or closure.
