Compliance & Regulatory Framework

Digital Gold Regulatory Compliance Infrastructure

Gold trading platforms face unique regulatory requirements across jurisdictions. From FATF guidelines for precious metals dealers to SEC, FCA, and MAS licensing—our platforms are built for multi-jurisdictional compliance.

KYC (Know Your Customer) for Digital Gold

Identity verification specifically designed for gold trading platforms. Unlike generic KYC, digital gold requires additional verification of source of funds for large bullion purchases and beneficial ownership documentation.

Required globally
ID & Address VerificationSource of Funds CheckBeneficial OwnershipEnhanced Due Diligence

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Monitoring

Gold trading platforms face heightened AML scrutiny as precious metals are high-risk for money laundering. Our systems monitor transaction patterns, flag structuring attempts, and automatically file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).

FinCEN (US), FCA (UK), AUSTRAC (AU)
Transaction Pattern AnalysisSAR Auto-FilingPEP & Sanctions ScreeningStructuring Detection

FATF Guidelines & Regional Licensing

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) classifies precious metals dealers as Designated Non-Financial Businesses (DNFBPs). Digital gold platforms must comply with FATF Recommendations 22-23 for customer due diligence and record-keeping.

GDPR & Data Privacy Compliance

Custody & Reserve Compliance
