Compliance framework

KYC, AML and transaction safety

A practical policy page for identity checks, source-of-funds review and suspicious-activity controls.

The bundled demo website does not collect identity documents or process financial transactions. This page explains what a licensed production operator would need to implement.

Know Your Customer

Production onboarding should verify identity, age, address and jurisdiction through a specialist KYC provider. Documents should not be emailed or stored in the WordPress media library.

Anti-Money Laundering

A compliant operator should define risk scoring, sanctions screening, politically exposed person screening, transaction monitoring, source-of-funds review and escalation procedures.

Crypto-specific controls

  • Use approved merchant wallets and documented payment-gateway APIs.
  • Verify webhook signatures and blockchain confirmation status server-side.
  • Screen wallet risk where legally required.
  • Keep clear reconciliation and audit trails.
  • Never request a user's private key or seed phrase.

Data retention

Retention periods should follow applicable law and documented business requirements. Access to compliance records must be limited, logged and reviewed regularly.
