Anti-money-laundering policy
What we do, what our partners do, and where the line between the two sits.
Our position
Cryptosales does not hold funds, does not execute exchanges on its own account, and is not a virtual asset service provider. We are an information service and a routing layer.
That does not make us indifferent. A directory that lists a mixer or a sanctions-evasion service alongside a legitimate exchanger is doing harm, so we apply our own standard to what we list.
What we do
We screen the services we list. Before a service appears we look at its stated compliance posture, its jurisdiction, its ownership where that is knowable, and its public record. Services that market themselves primarily as a way to evade controls are not listed.
We monitor and delist. A listed service that changes character — starts accepting funds it should not, loses its payment relationships, or attracts a pattern of credible reports — is removed and recorded on the blacklist with the reason.
We publish KYC posture honestly. Every listing states whether documents are never requested, requested on flagged transactions, requested above a threshold, or always required. We do not describe a service as no-KYC when it is not.
What our partners do
Every exchange is executed by a third party under its own compliance programme. Those programmes routinely include address screening against sanctions and illicit-activity databases, transaction monitoring, and identity verification on flagged transactions.
This means no exchanger can guarantee an anonymous transaction, and any service claiming otherwise is either lying or operating outside the law. A transaction its systems flag can be held pending verification regardless of what was advertised.
What we ask of you
Do not use this site to move the proceeds of crime, to evade sanctions, or to conduct any transaction unlawful where you are. We cooperate with lawful requests from competent authorities to the extent of what we actually hold, which is deliberately very little.
Reporting
If you believe a listed service is being used for money laundering or is itself a fraud, tell us. Reports with evidence are acted on quickly, and evidence is published alongside a blacklist entry where it can be shared.
