We have put in place the procedures and the means to detect and address money laundering and terrorism financing. Where applicable, we will exercise reasonable steps to determine the true identity of all customers and beneficial owners of transactions. When we become aware of facts which may lead to a reasonable presumption that funds held are from criminal or other money laundering activities, or that transactions entered into are themselves criminal in purpose, appropriate measures, consistent with the law, shall be taken, including, for example, denial of service to the customer, or severing relations with the customer, and when appropriate, filing of a suspicious transaction report with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the Anti-Money Laundering Council and/or other relevant law enforcement entities. We will not provide support or assistance to customers seeking to deceive law enforcement agencies through the provision of false, altered, incomplete or missing information. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities and regulatory agencies to the fullest extent that we can do so under all applicable laws and regulations.
    2. Verification. If you use iCash and our other related services, the law requires that we verify some of your information. You authorize us to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity, either directly or through third parties, including checking commercial databases or credit reports. We may rely on a credit reporting agency in order to ascertain your identity in accordance with our legal obligations. We may also require you to provide certain documentation from reliable third party sources to ascertain your identity and to upload the documentation for our review. We reserve the right to access various government and private databases to verify your information. We reserve the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your Account in the event we are unable to obtain or verify this information.

The rate and local currency equivalent that will be received by the beneficiary are reflected on iCash prior to authorization of payment. The exchange rate offered during the time of transaction may not be equivalent or as competitive as the exchange rate in the foreign exchange market in the country of your beneficiary, or the exchange rate quoted by other funds processing and funds transfer agencies and money remittance companies. We or our affiliates may generate income when the remittance amount is converted to the local currency of your beneficiary.

The status of a transaction can be seen in your online transaction tracking and confirmed/verified by iCash. Under no circumstance can a cancellation be accommodated upon the lapse of the applicable period. For any inquiries, you may contact us.
