Crypto AML Compliance for Virtual Currency Businesses
A crypto business faces real anti-money-laundering duties built for how digital assets actually move around. We help virtual currency businesses run the crypto-specific AML controls that the Canadian regime requires of them.
AML Built for How Crypto Moves
Crypto does not launder money the way cash does, so its AML controls have to be different. You need to monitor activity on the blockchain, screen wallet addresses, and handle transfers that cross wallets and borders in seconds. We help you build AML controls for how virtual currency actually moves, not adapted from cash.
The Obligations Crypto Triggers
As a virtual currency business, you carry real reporting and control duties. Large virtual currency transactions must be reported, the Travel Rule means transfer information has to accompany crypto moving between businesses, and you need KYC, monitoring, and sanctions screening throughout. We help you meet each of these, so your crypto business runs the full AML program the regime expects.

We build the customer verification suited to onboarding virtual currency users.
Chain Monitoring
We build monitoring of on-chain activity and the wallets you interact with.
Crypto Reporting

Crypto AML Questions
Clear answers to the questions crypto businesses ask most about meeting their anti-money-laundering obligations across Canada under the PCMLTFA regime.
What is crypto AML compliance?
It is the anti-money-laundering program a virtual currency business runs, covering KYC, monitoring, reporting, and screening built for how crypto moves.
Do crypto businesses have reporting duties?
Yes. Large virtual currency transactions must be reported, and the Travel Rule requires transfer information to accompany crypto moving between businesses.
How do you monitor crypto transactions?
We build monitoring that reads on-chain activity and screens the wallet addresses you interact with, alongside your customer and transaction data.
How does this differ from crypto registration?
Registration makes you a recognised virtual currency business. This is the ongoing AML program you must run once you are registered.
Can you screen wallet addresses?
Yes. We screen wallet addresses against sanctions lists and known illicit sources, so tainted crypto is caught before it reaches you.
