Know Your Customer
As a payment institution, Latvijas Pasts, like banks and other financial institutions, is required to apply the Know Your Customer (KYC) principle in accordance with Latvian laws, regulations, and other regulatory requirements.
The purpose of this principle is to ensure a secure and trustworthy environment, prevent potential risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation financing, and to comply with sanctions regulations. To achieve this, all financial market participants supervised by the Bank of Latvia, including Latvijas Pasts, are required to obtain and regularly update information about their customers and the origin of their funds.
