We, Scorechain team, are excited to introduce a new feature in our crypto risk AML solution: the Know Your VASP Report. This addition is designed to empower users with comprehensive reports, ensuring their daily compliance and reporting procedures are both effective and legally sound.

Understanding Know Your VASP

VASPs or Virtual Asset Service Providers are businesses that deal with virtual assets, including centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, custody providers, investment funds, and more. The "Know Your VASP" concept revolves around the crucial process of determining whether a cryptocurrency transaction involves another Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) and how is that specific entity. This initial assessment is pivotal for comprehensive due diligence and helps VASPs ascertain whether their counterparties are legitimate and compliant entities. It also ensures that counterparties can uphold the confidentiality of Travel Rule information as regulatory requirements.

The Scorechain's Know Your VASP report serves as a valuable feature for risk AML compliance reporting that is available in PDF format, excel, pictures, and graphs which provides detailed information about cryptocurrency entities, including financial and regulatory data, operation countries, the flow of funds, AML risk scoring for incoming and outgoing funds, and risk indicators.

Why Do You Need Know Your VASP Reports?

Cryptocurrency regulations are increasingly stringent worldwide. These regulations are put in place to prevent financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and fraud. Know Your VASP reports are essential for compliance teams to fulfill their reporting obligations, especially in terms of transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting.

Know Your VASP report benefits you in several ways including:

• Licensing and Registration: The VASP report helps you comply with the licensing and registration mandates in the jurisdiction where the VASP operates.
• Identifying Illicit Fund Flows: The reports aid in identifying suspicious or illicit fund flows of each entity, which can be reported to relevant authorities.
• Protecting Against Cryptocurrency Money Laundering Risks: Staying vigilant against cryptocurrency money laundering risks is essential for VASPs and other financial entities.
• Making Informed Decisions Around Security and Compliance: The comprehensive data in Know Your VASP reports empowers businesses to make well-informed decisions concerning security and compliance matters.
