Zaftr Deploys CipherTrace Money Laundering Controls to Establish Compliance and Privacy for High-Value Crypto Transactions

TORONTO, April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Zaftr Inc. (Zaftr), a leading digital asset seller for investment funds, family offices and high net-worth individuals, is pleased to announce its use of CipherTrace's monitoring service to ensure compliance and privacy in trusted, high-value, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions. By utilizing CipherTrace's risk mitigation, anti-money laundering, and anti-terrorist financing solutions, Zaftr can ensure it operates at the highest standards of integrity.

"We see incredible potential in the nascent digital asset space for those who are willing and knowledgeable to conduct themselves the right way – in a trusted and fully compliant manner. As we have seen, companies that are not committed to that ideal will not be able to survive in the cryptocurrency space, and nor should they." explains Nathan Montgomery, the President & CEO of Zaftr. "The CipherTrace offering provides us with quality information to be able to assess risk associated with digital asset wallets and allows us the flexibility to establish our own blockchain analysis processes on top of data that is used by the best and brightest. Through the CipherTrace solution, we can identify questionable or verifiably criminal activity and act accordingly to ensure the security of ourselves, our suppliers, and our customers."

Zaftr's development of state-of-the-art transaction facilitation procedures for high value, person-to-institution and whale-to-whale transactions requires the implementation of automated and trusted due-diligence solutions. A core element for Zaftr's privacy and anti-money laundering program involves utilizing CipherTrace Sentry monitoring service to identify any funds from criminal or suspicious activity that would otherwise remain undetected while maintaining client privacy.

"At CipherTrace we believe in the longevity of the cryptocurrency industry, and so supporting companies like Zaftr that prioritize making the digital asset economy more private, secure, and compliant is a big part of our mission," expressed Dave Jevans, CEO and a founder of CipherTrace. "Zaftr's clients, among other major financial players, should feel confident in the legality of peer-to-peer trades within the trusted digital asset class. We've structured our monitoring services to provide that assurance to companies like Zaftr."
