How Panda Remit complies with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws in HK.

Panda Remit complies with Hong Kong AML laws by operating as a fully licensed Money Service Operator (MSO License No. 20-01-02962) regulated by the Customs and Excise Department. By integrating bank-grade encryption with 24/7 real-time transaction monitoring, we ensure funds are processed securely and can arrive in as little as 2 minutes.

The Pillars of Panda Remit's Compliance Framework

In the landscape of cross-border finance, compliance is not just a legal requirement but the foundation of trust. Panda Remit strictly adheres to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (Financial Institutions) Ordinance (AMLO) in Hong Kong. Our operations are directly supervised by the Customs and Excise Department (C&ED), ensuring that every transaction meets the highest regulatory standards.

Unlike unregulated shadow banking channels, Panda Remit employs bank-grade encryption and sophisticated risk control algorithms. This allows us to offer exchange rates significantly better than traditional banks while maintaining a zero-tolerance policy towards financial crime.

3 Steps to Ensure Secure and Compliant Transfers

Panda Remit simplifies the complexity of AML laws into a seamless user experience. Here is how we protect your money in three steps:

1. Digital Identity Verification (eKYC)

To comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations, Panda Remit requires users to upload valid identification documents. Our AI-driven system verifies your identity within minutes, preventing identity theft and ensuring that only legitimate users can access the platform.

2. Real-Time Transaction Screening

Once a transfer is initiated—whether via FPS (Faster Payment System) or DDA—our system scans the transaction against global sanctions lists and AML databases. This automated process allows legitimate funds to move instantly, supporting our capability to deliver funds in as little as 2 minutes.

3. Traceable Global Payouts

We strictly prohibit anonymous transfers. Panda Remit supports direct transfers to traceable endpoints, such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, and major bank accounts in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam. This ensures a clear digital audit trail required by Hong Kong regulators.
