Meet James—a compliance officer at a FINRA-regulated firm managing security tokens and tokenized funds. James is used to navigating complex regulations, but the FATF Travel Rule has added a new layer of pressure.
It starts with a client transferring cryptoassets to another platform. James knows the Travel Rule requires his firm to collect and share key information—names, wallet addresses, and account details—every step of the way. But the process quickly becomes overwhelming.
- First issue: His team is manually verifying transaction details across different tools.
- Next challenge: There’s no standard way to securely share data with other platforms.
- Final complication: International transfers bring inconsistent rules that make compliance feel like guesswork.
By the end of the day, James feels more like a crisis manager than a compliance leader.
Now imagine a different scenario—where compliance with the Travel Rule is frictionless, thanks to iComply’s integrated compliance platform.
