Do you build PSD2-aligned open banking APIs for Frankfurt institutions?

Yes, including account information and payment initiation APIs with compliant consent and authentication flows.

Can you help modernize our legacy banking core?

Yes, we specialize in incremental core modernization that avoids a risky big-bang rewrite while meeting German banking supervisory expectations.

Do you build GDPR-aligned data architecture?

Yes, data minimization, encryption, and access-control patterns are built into our architecture by default for platforms handling EU personal data.

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.

Frankfurt Market Landscape

Why crypto compliance & kyc/aml is critical in Frankfurt

The European Central Bank's presence in Frankfurt shapes supervisory expectations for banks and payment institutions across the entire Eurozone, not just Germany.
Frankfurt's concentration of legacy core banking systems creates significant demand for incremental modernization work that avoids risky full core replacements.
Open banking API programs in Frankfurt commonly need to satisfy both PSD2-derived technical standards and BaFin's supervisory expectations simultaneously.

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.
