Ethics & Compliance

At PayAngel, we believe that how we operate is just as important as the services we provide. We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in every market where we operate. This includes strict adherence to laws on modern slavery, human trafficking, bribery, and corruption.

Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking

We have a zero-tolerance policy for modern slavery and human trafficking in any part of our business or supply chain.

Our approach complies with the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and equivalent legislation in all countries where we operate.

We expect the same commitment from all our partners, agents, and suppliers.

Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption

PayAngel prohibits all forms of bribery, facilitation payments, and corrupt practices.

We comply with the UK Bribery Act 2010, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

All employees, agents, and partners are required to complete training and follow our internal anti-bribery controls.

Reporting Concerns

We maintain confidential reporting channels for whistleblowers to raise any suspected breaches of our ethics policies.

Reports can be made via [email/email form link] and will be investigated promptly without retaliation.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy
