The AML Problem
Cryptocurrencies have disrupted traditional anti-money laundering (AML) practices. Remember – part of the appeal of cryptos is their decentralised nature. But the truth is that traditional AML regulation isn’t designed to deal with the anonymity associated with cryptos.
For these reasons, cryptos can present a heightened AML risk. But we now have a technological solution that is trusted by law enforcement agencies and financial institutions – CipherTrace. It’s an exciting innovation for crypto investors and fund managers that need to meet compliance requirements.
How It Works
We utilise CipherTrace technology
Step One
Whether you want to invest in cryptos, or run a crypto investment fund – you can now risk assess the transaction history of crypto coins.
Step Two
CipherTrace algorithms calculate risk levels based on suspicious addresses and wallets. CipherTrace also profiles hundreds of global exchanges, ATMs, mixers, money laundering systems, gambling services and known criminal addresses to score transactions and asses risk.
Step Three
CipherTrace then assigns risk levels to transactions based on activity related to suspicious addresses and wallets.
No Risk: Transactions with no apparent risk are flagged to proceed.
Low & Moderate Risk: These transactions trigger an automated deep search for compliance reporting.
High Risk: These transactions should be rejected.
Client Testimonials
Growth through trust and transparency
My long term experience of over 16 years with IFINA has been excellent. The staff are friendly, extremely helpful and always available. NAV’s are provided daily and I would argue that their offering is a world class service. Many of the larger administrators don’t even provide weekly NAV’s and have high staff turnover. They are a wonderful long term partner to have as a fund administrator.
In almost a decade of business relationship with IFINA, I have always experienced a high level of professionalism, consistency, reliability and efficiency. Not only has IFINA always kept the quality of service high, but has also shown entrepreneurial spirit by providing necessary flexibility where needed. IFINA is definitely the best fund administration company I have worked with in my career.
We consider IFINA to be an outstanding fund administrator. They’ve provided first-class fund formation and valuation services to Finanz Konzept since 2011. The whole team provides a bespoke and hands-on service. We would recommend them without hesitation.
Fiduciaria Unifida Finance SA has been a client of IFINA since 2011. The IFINA team are professional, responsive and accommodating and they provide an excellent fund formation and administration service. We highly recommend them.
