Understanding compliance

Why you need to screen transactions

Updated over a month ago

Introduction

Adhering to crypto compliance guidelines has become a critical priority for institutions, many of which are proactively screening fund movements to ensure compliance and alignment with evolving AML (anti-money laundering), KYT (know your transaction), and travel rule standards

Utila offers native integration with compliance industry leaders, enabling customers to seamlessly embed transaction screening into their workflows. The integration supports screening both outgoing transfers and incoming deposits.

Compliance screening flow

Utila offers basic and advanced compliance screening flows.
​

Standard

Incoming deposits and outgoing transfers are uploaded to the AML vendor for audit and case management.

Advanced

Outgoing transactions

  1. Before the transfer is checked by the transaction policy, the data is uploaded to the compliance vendor for screening.

  2. The compliance policy in Utila determines whether the transfer should be allowed, based on the screening result.

  3. Transfers deemed problematic are automatically denied.

    If the transfer passes the screening process, it is then checked by the transaction policy.

Incoming deposits

  1. As soon as a deposit is detected, the transaction data is uploaded to the compliance vendor for screening.

  2. A decision is made whether to clear the transfer based on the screening result and your compliance policy in Utila.

  3. Funds from suspicious incoming transactions are frozen and subject to admin processing.

Compliance partners

Utila currently integrates with Chainalysis and TRM Labs. The Chainalysis integration is advanced, while the TRM Labs one is standard.
