Do you build exchanges aligned with CMB (SPK) licensing requirements?

Yes, we build exchange and custody infrastructure with the capital-reporting hooks, cold-storage ratios, and audit logging typically expected under the CMB's crypto asset service provider licensing framework.

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.

Crypto Compliance, KYC/AML & Regulatory Integration in Turkey

Regulatory scrutiny on crypto businesses keeps rising. Hurain Technologies integrates KYC/KYB onboarding, AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and FATF Travel Rule messaging into crypto exchanges, wallets and payment platforms, using a jurisdiction-aware rule engine built to work alongside licensed legal counsel. In Turkey, that means building to the technical expectations of Asia-Pacific: Crypto asset service providers, including exchanges, are licensed and supervised by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB / SPK) under Turkey's crypto asset licensing framework.

Turkey Regulatory Landscape

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

Crypto asset service providers, including exchanges, are licensed and supervised by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (CMB / SPK) under Turkey's crypto asset licensing framework.
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) prohibits the direct use of crypto assets as a means of payment for goods and services, even though trading and custody are legally licensed activities.
Licensed exchanges are expected to meet minimum capital, cold-storage custody, and reporting requirements set by the CMB.
We build to these CMB licensing and CBRT payment-restriction requirements, alongside Turkish regulatory counsel.

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.

FAQ

Crypto Compliance & KYC/AML in Turkey — FAQ

No — the CBRT prohibits using crypto assets directly as a means of payment in Turkey, so we architect Turkish platforms around licensed trading, custody, and conversion-to-fiat flows rather than direct crypto checkout.
