[MAS Notice PSN04 (Amendment) 2024]
5. “Digital payment tokens assessed to be of higher risk of money laundering and
terrorist financing” in paragraph 5(d) and 5(g) of Form 6B refers to digital payment tokens that are determined by the payment service provider to present a higher risk for money laundering or terrorism financing through – (a) its assessment of money laundering and terrorism financing risks of its products, services, transactions and delivery channels, as required by paragraph 4.1(d) of MAS Notice PS-N02; and (b) its implementation of policies, procedures and controls as required by paragraph 4.3(a) of MAS Notice PS-N02.
6. “High risk countries / jurisdictions” in paragraph 6 of Form 6B refers to countries
or jurisdictions that are determined by the payment service provider in the course of its implementation of appropriate internal risk management systems, policies, procedures and controls as required by paragraph 8.5 of MAS Notice PS-N02 to present a higher risk for money laundering or terrorism financing. For the purposes of paragraph 6 of Form 6B, – (a) the “total value of transactions for the reporting period” refers to the sum, in Singapore dollars, of the value of all transactions, across all digital payment token services provided to customers, that were sent to or received from high risk countries / jurisdictions, for the reporting period; and (b) the “total number of transactions for the reporting period” refers to the total number of transactions, across all digital payment token services provided to customers, that were sent to or received from high risk countries / jurisdictions, for the reporting period.

6A. “Anonymity-enhancing technologies” in paragraph 6 of Form 6B refers to technologies or mechanisms that obfuscate the true identities of the sender, recipient, or holder of a digital payment token2 . [MAS Notice PSN04 (Amendment) 2024] 6B. For the purposes of reporting transactions in 6(c) and 6(e), the licensee must include: (i) transactions where the digital payment tokens were directly sent to or received from DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity-enhancing technologies are applied, and (ii) transactions where digital payment tokens were indirectly sent to or received from DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity-enhancing technologies are applied, through more than one hop, which the licensee has determined to present a higher risk of money laundering or terrorism financing. [MAS Notice PSN04 (Amendment) 2024] 6C. In reporting the “Exposure to digital payment tokens sent to DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity-enhancing technologies are applied” and “Exposure to digital payment tokens received from DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity￾enhancing technologies are applied” in paragraphs 6(d) and 6(f) above, the licensee must compute the exposure to digital payment tokens sent to or received indirectly by the licensee to or from DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity-enhancing technologies are applied, through more than one hop, as a proportion of the total digital payment tokens sent to or received directly by the licensee, assuming that the digital payment tokens from the DPT wallet addresses on which anonymity-enhancing technologies are applied are comingled with the digital payment tokens of the other wallets they are sent to or received from. E.g. $50 of DPT from known mixer/tumbler service sent to wallet A now containing $500 of DPT ($50 + $450), of which $100 of DPT were sent directly to licensee. The licensee may report $100 under “Total value of transactions for the reporting period” for 6(e), and $10 for exposure under 6(f) ($50/$500 x $100 = $10). If $50 in DPT was received 2 Such technologies include, but not limited to, the following:

• Privacy wallets, which are also known as mixing-enabled wallets, Privacy wallets work by combining the
  transactions of multiple users into a single transfer. Such privacy wallets obscure the true DPT wallet address(es) from which the DPTs were originally transferred from and make such transactions difficult to trace.
• Mixers and tumblers, which are technologies or mechanisms which allow users to commingle their DPTs,
  obscure the true DPT wallet addresses from which the DPTs were originally transferred from and make such transactions difficult to trace. Licensees should monitor for unusual customer behaviour, including but not limited to the use of internet protocol anonymizers that obfuscates such customer’s physical location. Where the licensee becomes aware of the use of internet protocol anonymizers such as The Onion Router, the Invisible Internet Project and other similar anonymizing software or anonymity enhancements, the licensee should also report this under paragraph 6 of Form 6B.

58 directly from a known mixer/tumbler, the licensee should report $50 in both 6(e) and 6(f). [MAS Notice PSN04 (Amendment) 2024]
