Reach FATF_TRAVEL_RULE readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendation 16 — the so-called "Travel Rule" — requires Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to obtain, hold + transmit required originator + beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers above $/€ 1,000. Implementation varies by jurisdiction: EU via Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) Reg 2023/1113 (no minimum threshold), US via FinCEN's $3,000 threshold, UK via Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (£1,000 threshold for crypto). VASPs must implement compliant infrastructure (e.g. TRP, Sumsub, Notabene, Veriscope) + perform sanctions screening on counterparties. Quick Policy maps FATF_TRAVEL_RULE into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
