Meridian is a technology service. We source, verify, and deliver counterparty leads — we are not a broker-dealer, money-services business, or regulated financial intermediary. The sanctions, KYC, and AML framework below is what we apply to every candidate before delivery.

Fuzzy and transliteration matching applied. Hits halt the transaction.
KYC
· Entity status and registered office · Officers and beneficial owners to the 25% threshold · PEP and adverse-media screening on principals · Operational premises verified where claimed
AML
· Deal plausibility: volume, pricing, routing, and logistics · Fraud-typology pattern matching · Payment-routing review, including correspondent-bank exposure · Audit log retained per statutory period
REFUSAL
Candidates that fail screening are not delivered. Suspicious activity is reported to the appropriate authority. Customer access can be paused or revoked where the platform is misused.
SCOPE
Verification covers identity, registry status, beneficial ownership, address, and operational evidence. We do not advise on transactions, hold counterparty funds, or facilitate settlement. Subscribers are responsible for their own KYC obligations on counterparties they engage.
