# KYC & AML We enforce **KYC** because it: * Safeguards our users and their information from fraud * Ensures everyone’s identities are real and their assets are secure * Stops those involved in illegal activities from joining our community * Protects the integrity and reputation of ivault while minimizing operational and legal risks. ivault adds another layer of security by adhering to **AML** procedures. This stops our platform from being used for money laundering or financing illegal activities. It’s essential to our mission of creating a sustainable community where fairness comes first. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
