Compliance Programs (AML/KYC/Travel Rule)

A compliance program is the operational infrastructure that ensures your business meets its regulatory obligations on an ongoing basis. For virtual asset businesses, this includes anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) policies, Travel Rule implementation, sanctions screening, suspicious activity reporting, and regular compliance reviews.

We design compliance programs that satisfy the specific requirements of your licensed jurisdictions while remaining operationally practical. This means mapping regulatory requirements to specific policies and procedures, selecting technology providers that integrate with your operational workflow, and establishing escalation paths and reporting frameworks that work for your team size and structure.

Travel Rule compliance has become a critical requirement across all major jurisdictions. The FATF standard requires VASPs to exchange originator and beneficiary information for transfers above specified thresholds. We implement Travel Rule solutions using providers like Notabene, Chainalysis, or other compliant messaging protocols, and ensure your procedures satisfy the specific requirements of each jurisdiction you operate in.

Our Compliance Officer as a Service (MLRO) offering provides a qualified Money Laundering Reporting Officer for jurisdictions that require one. The MLRO handles SAR/STR filings, regulatory correspondence, annual compliance reviews, and serves as the primary point of contact with regulatory authorities.
