Cryptocurrency Compliance Services in Canada
Operate your crypto business without regulatory surprises. We build the compliance program Canadian VASPs and exchanges need, coordinating FINTRAC registration, securities regulator obligations, and AML controls under one framework designed for how crypto actually works.
Crypto Compliance Across Two Regulatory Tracks
Canadian crypto businesses face two regulators. FINTRAC treats virtual currency dealers as money services businesses under the PCMLTFA, while provincial securities regulators supervise crypto trading platforms through the Canadian Securities Administrators. We coordinate both, so your registration, licensing, and compliance program hold together across the full regulatory picture.
Built for Real Crypto Operations
Generic AML templates fail against crypto risk. Your program must handle wallet screening, blockchain analytics, the Travel Rule for virtual currency transfers, and typologies that traditional finance never sees, from chain hopping to mixer usage. We build controls that reflect how digital assets actually move, not a token adaptation of a bank framework.
Registration Support
We manage your FINTRAC registration as a virtual currency dealer and MSB.
AML Program
We build your compliance program, PCMLTFA risk assessment, and crypto-specific policies.
Wallet Screening
We integrate blockchain analytics and screen wallets against sanctions and illicit activity indicators.
Travel Rule
We implement the Travel Rule requirements for virtual currency transfers above the threshold.

Cryptocurrency Compliance Questions
Clear answers to the questions Canadian crypto businesses ask most about FINTRAC registration, securities obligations, and building an AML compliance program for digital assets.
Who regulates cryptocurrency in Canada?
FINTRAC regulates virtual currency dealers as MSBs under the PCMLTFA, and provincial securities regulators oversee crypto trading platforms through the Canadian Securities Administrators.
Do crypto exchanges need FINTRAC registration?
Yes. Any business dealing in virtual currency for Canadian customers must register with FINTRAC as an MSB and maintain a full compliance program.
What is the Travel Rule for crypto?
It requires reporting entities to include sender and beneficiary information with virtual currency transfers above 1,000 dollars, mirroring the rule for wire transfers.
Do foreign crypto businesses need to register?
Yes. Foreign virtual currency dealers directing services at Canadian customers must register with FINTRAC as foreign MSBs, alongside domestic exchange operators.
Can we outsource crypto compliance?
Yes. Canadian law permits outsourcing compliance functions, so early-stage crypto businesses can access specialist expertise without building a full internal compliance team.
