INTRODUCTION AND COMMITMENT
URIGHTCOMPANY FINANCE LIMITED (the "Company") is committed to conducting its business in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations and to maintaining a secure and responsible financial environment.
The Company applies a risk-based and proportionate approach to sanctions compliance and does not knowingly engage in or support transactions involving sanctioned individuals, entities, or jurisdictions.
Controls are applied proportionately, taking into account customer profile, transaction characteristics, and geographic exposure.
The Company is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB) with FINTRAC and operates in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and applicable Canadian sanctions legislation, including:
- The Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA)
- The United Nations Act
- The Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Magnitsky Law)
These measures are designed to protect both the Company and its customers from exposure to financial crime and regulatory risk.
SCOPE OF APPLICATION
This Policy applies across the Company's operations and covers:
- Customers (individual and corporate)
- Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) and authorized representatives
- Transactions, including foreign exchange, money transfers, and virtual currency activity
- Relevant counterparties and partners, where involved in transaction flows, to which the Company may apply sanctions controls.
Sanctions controls are applied prior to onboarding and on an ongoing basis, taking into account the nature of the relationship and associated risks.
SANCTIONS SCREENING APPROACH
The Company applies a layered approach to sanctions screening supported by internal controls and technology.
Customer Screening
Customers are screened prior to onboarding and periodically thereafter. Screening includes individuals, legal entities, UBOs (typically at a 25% threshold), and relevant representatives.
Transaction Screening
Sanctions controls are applied to transactions on a risk-based basis, including review of originators and beneficiaries where relevant.
Virtual Currency Controls (where applicable)
For virtual currency activity, the Company applies additional checks, including risk-based analysis of wallet addresses and transaction flows, where appropriate.

The Company utilizes a combination of domestic and international data sources, including:
- Canadian sanctions lists (SEMA and United Nations Act)
- United Nations Security Council sanctions lists
- U.S. OFAC lists (applied on a risk-based basis, particularly for USD exposure)
- Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and related risk indicators
The Company may also consider publicly available information, such as adverse media, where relevant to risk assessment.
PROHIBITED JURISDICTIONS
The Company applies a risk-based approach to geographic exposure and may restrict or decline relationships involving jurisdictions subject to:
- Applicable sanctions regimes
- Significant AML/CFT deficiencies
- Elevated financial crime or sanctions evasion risk
Controls may include enhanced due diligence, limitations on services, or refusal to onboard or process transactions, depending on the level of risk identified.

Additional scrutiny may be applied where higher-risk indicators are identified.
