Our philosophy

Built for VASPs, Not Retrofitted From Traditional Finance

Crypto AML compliance needs controls that actually work for on-chain activity, not a traditional banking AML framework awkwardly adapted for a VASP.

We verify wallet ownership and source of funds as part of every crypto AML compliance engagement, addressing a risk vector traditional AML frameworks were not built for.

Ongoing monitoring of on-chain and off-chain activity, with blockchain screening tools calibrated to VASP risk.

We support both your crypto AML compliance framework and your ongoing VARA licensing obligations. ✓ Wallet and source of funds verification ✓ Ongoing blockchain and transaction screening ✓ KYC and UBO identification for VASP customers ✓ Sanctions screening for digital asset transactions ✓ VARA regulatory advisory support

A Framework That Scales With Transaction Volume

Crypto AML compliance needs to scale as your VASP’s transaction volume grows, without requiring a rebuild of your entire monitoring stack every time volume increases.

Crypto-specific AML frameworks that keep pace with an evolving regulatory environment.

in depth guide

Understanding Crypto AML Compliance Under VARA

Crypto AML compliance sits at the intersection of general UAE AML law and VARA's virtual-asset-specific rulebook. Here is how the two connect.

Traditional transaction monitoring tools were not built to trace on-chain fund flows across wallets and exchanges, so effective crypto AML compliance depends on blockchain-native screening technology, not adapted banking tools.

Crypto AML compliance for a VASP starts with the same underlying UAE federal AML law that applies to every regulated business, then adds VARA-specific requirements around wallet screening and blockchain analytics.

3 Common Crypto AML Compliance Mistakes

These gaps come up often when a VASP treats crypto AML compliance as an afterthought to VARA licensing.

Underestimating ongoing monitoring requirements once the VASP is operational, not just at the licensing stage.

Using generic KYC tools not built for wallet or blockchain-based identity verification.

Let’s join hands and make it
