AML policy and large swaps
Privacy for normal people, no room for stolen money. This is how we keep swaps clean without asking for your passport.
How swaps are checked
- Before a swap exists. Every address is validated for format and network. Swaps of $5,000 or more wait for a person, who screens the receiving and refund addresses before a deposit address is created.
- When the deposit arrives. Every deposit is screened against sanctions lists and databases of stolen and hacked funds.
- If something is flagged. You talk to a person at SwapPrivate, not a ticket queue.
Nothing is sent before a review is complete, so a review never puts your coins at risk.
When a deposit is held
A small share of deposits are flagged, usually because the coins passed through a mixer, a sanctioned service or a hacked wallet at some point, often long before they reached you. The deposit may then need a short explanation of where the funds came from before it is released or refunded. Write to us with your swap ID and we handle it with you.
Limits
Online swaps go up to $100,000. For larger amounts, use our private desk.
What we refuse
- Swaps involving addresses on sanctions lists.
- Funds connected to hacks, ransomware, scams or darknet markets.
- Splitting a large swap into small ones to avoid review.
