KYC / AML

Two files on this desk. Neither is a licensed AML programme, an NBE onboarding, or a bank KYC. Full ID numbers are not stored — last four only.

Shopper file (Auriexpress / AuriBulk)

• After sign-up, file name, country, ID type, last four, purpose.
• Rules plus optional AI recommend. Checkout and RFQ need status ai_ok.
• Flagged files do not clear. A human on this desk must review.

Jewelry, gold, gems

High-value gold, silver, and Welo opal stay inquiry-first. An international sale of those goods needs due diligence: legal name, address, identity or corporate papers, source of funds, destination, and whether the buyer acts for someone else.

Verification steps

Checked 23 Sep 2026 against the public record. These steps are gates, not a licence.

1. Money test. If the step would take, hold, or issue customer funds, stop. The NBE list of payment instrument issuers (25) and payment system operators (22) does not name AURION. Source: nbe.gov.et, read 23 Sep 2026.
2. Shopper file before checkout or RFQ: name, country, ID type, last four, purpose. Status must be ai_ok. This is not Fayda and not a bank eKYC. Fayda account-linking is an NBE instruction to banks, not to this desk.
3. Gold, silver, and opal stay inquiry-only. Ask legal name, address, source of funds, destination, and whether the person acts for someone else. No anonymous card.
4. Personal data is kept to route the inquiry. It is not sold. Ethiopia’s Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024 is in force (Ministry of Justice, 24 July 2024). This desk has not published a data-protection registration.
5. A live pay button needs a named NBE-licensed issuer or operator, with customer funds off this desk. Directive NPS/10/2025, announced by NBE on 27 May 2025, raised payment-instrument issuer capital to 100 million birr. AURION has not applied on this record.

Will not

• Take an anonymous live card for gold or opal from this catalog.
• Ship precious minerals without the export papers those goods require.
• Invent a Mines certificate of competence or an NBE gold-channel approval.
