AML Policy

This AML Policy describes the anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, and fraud-prevention principles applied in relation to Swap-BTC.com and any associated swap-service activity made available through the site.

Swap-BTC.com supports lawful digital-asset use only. We do not knowingly facilitate money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, fraud, theft, market abuse, or the use of proceeds derived from unlawful conduct.

Risk-based compliance approach

We apply a risk-based approach to identifying and mitigating misuse of the site or related services. Depending on the nature of the activity, this may include technical monitoring, wallet screening, transaction review, behavioral checks, and request escalation.

Compliance controls may be applied before, during, or after a transaction-related interaction.

Prohibited activity

Users must not use Swap-BTC.com in connection with:

  • money laundering
  • terrorist financing
  • sanctions violations or sanctions evasion
  • fraud or impersonation
  • stolen funds or unauthorized wallet access
  • ransomware-related activity
  • darknet market activity
  • child exploitation material
  • human trafficking
  • narcotics trafficking
  • weapons trafficking
  • corruption or bribery
  • deceptive or unlawful source-of-funds activity
  • any other conduct prohibited by applicable law

Any attempt to use the site or related services for prohibited purposes may result in refusal of service, suspension of processing, reporting, record retention, or other protective actions.

Monitoring and screening

To support compliance, we may apply screening and review measures including:

  • blockchain address risk analysis
  • sanctions-related screening
  • fraud and abuse detection
  • transaction pattern review
  • geolocation and access-risk checks
  • review of inconsistencies in submitted information
  • manual compliance review where needed

We reserve the right to refuse, delay, limit, or decline activity that appears high-risk, unlawful, suspicious, or inconsistent with our compliance standards.

Verification requests

Where risk conditions justify it, we may request additional information or documents before allowing further service interaction or before resolving a compliance matter. Such requests may include:

  • identity verification information
  • source-of-funds or source-of-wealth explanation
  • wallet ownership confirmation
  • transaction purpose details
  • supporting screenshots, hashes, or records
  • enhanced due diligence information in higher-risk situations

Failure to provide requested information may result in delayed processing, refusal of service, or closure of the relevant request.

Sanctions compliance

Users must not use the site or related services if they are:

  • located in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction, where prohibited
  • listed on applicable sanctions lists
  • acting on behalf of a sanctioned person or entity
  • attempting to conceal sanctioned involvement in any transaction

We reserve the right to block or restrict access where sanctions concerns arise.

Reporting and cooperation

Where required by applicable law or where reasonably necessary to protect the site, users, or the public, we may cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, courts, compliance partners, and other competent authorities.

This may include preserving logs, retaining records, reporting suspicious activity, or responding to lawful requests.

Recordkeeping

We may retain compliance-related records, communications, technical logs, and review materials for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • detect and investigate suspicious activity
  • meet legal and regulatory expectations
  • support audit and compliance processes
  • resolve disputes and enforcement matters

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the matter and any legal requirements that apply.

User responsibilities

By using Swap-BTC.com, you confirm that:

  • your funds are not derived from unlawful activity
  • you are not using the site on behalf of a prohibited person
  • you will provide accurate information when requested
  • you will not attempt to disguise the origin, destination, or ownership of funds
  • you understand that blockchain activity may be subject to compliance review

Jurisdiction and availability

Crypto-asset regulations differ significantly by country and may change over time. Users are solely responsible for determining whether use of any swap-related service is lawful in their jurisdiction and whether additional reporting, registration, licensing, or tax obligations apply to them.

Nothing in this policy constitutes legal advice.

Policy changes

We may update this AML Policy at any time to reflect changes in law, risk exposure, service design, or compliance practice. The latest version published on this page will apply from the date of posting.
