Compliance
Overview
Compliance at Stablegate is the foundation of trust, transparency, and regulatory integrity across all services of the platform. Our compliance framework ensures that every client — whether individual or corporate — operates within the highest standards of international financial regulation while enjoying a seamless digital experience.
The Stablegate platform embeds compliance directly into its architecture, enabling automatic verification, continuous monitoring, and transparent reporting. Through this integrated approach, compliance becomes not an obstacle, but a key enabler of secure and scalable financial operations.
Compliance Framework in Stablegate
The Stablegate Compliance Layer connects three fundamental components:
- Identity Verification (KYC/KYB)
Verifies the authenticity of each client — individual or corporate — using automated checks, biometric liveness verification, and document validation. - Transaction Monitoring
Tracks all asset movements — fiat and crypto — across the platform to detect unusual patterns and prevent money laundering or fraud. - Risk & Reporting Controls
Applies internal policies, risk scoring models, and audit-ready data retention to ensure compliance with Swiss AML and EU financial directives.
These layers are natively integrated with the API, so partners can perform verification, risk checks, and compliance reporting directly within their own user flows.
KYC & KYB Verification Principles
KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYB (Know Your Business) form the entry point to the Stablegate ecosystem.
Before a client can trade, transfer, or hold assets, their identity and the legitimacy of their funds are verified.
| Process | Purpose | Key Elements |
|---|---|---|
| Individual KYC | Confirm a personal user’s identity and residence | ID document, selfie (liveness), proof of address, compliance questionnaire |
| Corporate KYB | Validate a company’s structure and authorized representatives | Company documents, shareholder structure, representative ID, business questionnaire |
Verification is fully digital and can be completed in minutes.
Activation occurs automatically once compliance approval is granted.
Source of Funds (SoF) and Continuous Monitoring
After initial verification, Stablegate ensures ongoing compliance through:
- Automated screening against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse media lists.
- Source of Funds (SoF) checks for higher-tier accounts or large transactions.
- Real-time monitoring of both fiat and blockchain transactions.
- Periodic re-verification based on risk profile and jurisdiction.
This continuous approach allows the platform to balance regulatory requirements with user convenience.
Role of Compliance in the Digital Platform
In the Stablegate architecture, compliance is not a standalone module —
it’s a core service connected to every API layer:
- Every client record links to a Legal Entity and Compliance Status.
- Every transaction or withdrawal passes through risk checks.
- Every order or conversion is executed only for verified entities.
- The compliance layer provides audit logs and transparency for regulators and partners.
Through this design, Stablegate ensures that compliance is automated, verifiable, and audit-ready by default.
Guiding Principles
Stablegate’s compliance model is built on four key principles:
- Regulatory Alignment — Full adherence to Swiss AML laws, FATF recommendations, and EU directives.
- Transparency — Clear data flows and traceability across every operation.
- Security by Design — End-to-end encryption, role-based access, and segregated data storage.
- User Experience — Compliance should be intuitive, fast, and frictionless.
In essence, compliance in Stablegate is not just a legal requirement —
it’s the trust layer of the entire ecosystem, enabling secure interaction between people, businesses, and digital assets.
