Can you support a Bermuda-based exchange handling institutional custody?

Yes, we build custody and exchange infrastructure engineered around the operational resilience standards BMA licensees are expected to maintain.

What is FATF Travel Rule compliance?

It's a requirement for crypto businesses to share originator and beneficiary information on qualifying transactions between VASPs, similar to wire transfer rules.

Which KYC/AML providers can be integrated?

We integrate with leading identity-verification, sanctions-screening and on-chain analytics providers, or work with providers you've already selected.

Can compliance rules differ by country?

Yes — we design rule engines that apply different KYC tiers, transaction limits and reporting logic based on user or transaction jurisdiction.

Does this speed up getting a VASP license?

A compliance-ready architecture makes the technical review smoother, though timelines ultimately depend on your regulator.

Bermuda Regulatory Landscape

What crypto compliance & kyc/aml buyers in Bermuda need to know

Digital asset businesses operating from or in Bermuda are licensed under the BMA's Digital Asset Business Act, one of the earliest dedicated crypto licensing regimes globally.
Digital Asset Business Act licensees are subject to BMA requirements around custody security, cyber risk management, and AML/CTF controls.
Bermuda's established insurance sector regulatory framework, also overseen by the BMA, intersects with digital-asset businesses exploring tokenized risk products.
We build the technical infrastructure these frameworks expect, alongside Bermuda-qualified legal counsel for the licensing process itself.

The Challenge

Problems we see teams struggling with

Multiple regulatory frameworks

Different countries have different KYC tiers, transaction limits, and reporting obligations.

Manual compliance processes

KYC verification and sanctions screening slow user onboarding without automation.

Travel Rule messaging

Cross-VASP originator/beneficiary information exchange is required but complex to implement.

Licensing readiness

Missing audit trails, access controls, or reporting capability can block licensing applications.

False positives overwhelming compliance teams

Poorly tuned sanctions screening generates enough false matches that genuine risk gets lost in the noise, and analysts burn out clearing routine false alarms.

On-chain risk exposure going undetected

Without chain-surveillance tooling, a platform can unknowingly process funds that touched a sanctioned address several hops back in the transaction history.
