Overview
Many jurisdictions require virtual asset service providers to exchange originator and beneficiary information for qualifying transfers. We integrate travel-rule messaging providers and protocols into transfer flows, handle counterparty discovery, data collection UX, message handling and holds, and keep records — implementing the requirements your compliance team specifies.
Shivacha provides technology and integration services. Custody, compliance and regulated activities are performed by your organisation or licensed partners.
