Regulation and compliance
Strong security measures and thorough compliance practices to keep funds safe.
The Interpolitan Group adheres to strict regulations and has robust internal controls in place to safeguard client funds and minimise any risks to the business or client monies. All transactions are initiated using a secure payment system which ensures each payment is approved internally by multiple users and processed or held with our existing counterparty banking partners.
​
We don’t speculate on the currency markets or invest clients’ money. When transactions are entered with us, we enter a matching and binding trade with a counterparty bank.
​
All client money is held in segregated client designated safeguarding accounts, separated from all other company assets. This means all client funds are held separately from any company money or assets to comply with the regulations. Client funds are always available, never moved, invested, or loaned out and, as such, are not exposed to such risks.
