Travel Rule Compliance for Crypto Exchanges

As a crypto exchange, you face constant pressure to stay ahead of evolving global regulations.
One of the most critical requirements today is compliance with the FATF Travel Rule, which mandates secure, real-time identity data sharing for crypto transactions.

The joint solution from Scorechain and Notabene is built specifically for exchanges that need a seamless, scalable, and regulator-approved way to meet these requirements—without adding friction to your user experience.

What Is the Travel Rule and Why Does It Matter for Exchanges

The Travel Rule, introduced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), requires all Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to collect, verify, and securely transmit personally identifiable information (PII) about both the sender and receiver of virtual asset transactions that exceed a certain threshold.

This rule has already been adopted in key jurisdictions including:

• European Union (MiCA and AMLD)
  
  
• United States (FinCEN under the Bank Secrecy Act)
  
  
• Singapore (under the Payment Services Act)
  
  
• United Arab Emirates (regulated by VARA and the CBUAE)
  
  
• Hong Kong (under SFC and AMLO)
  
  

For crypto exchanges, non-compliance can result in:

• Fines and legal penalties
  
  
• Regulatory license suspension
  
  
• Restrictions on operating in high-value jurisdictions
  
  
• Reputational damage with institutional clients and partners
