As part of transaction due diligence, our compliance team may send you a request for information (RFI) about a specific deposit or withdrawal. RFIs are a routine part of operating on a regulated platform—receiving one doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your account.

What an RFI asks for

An RFI asks you to confirm details about a transaction’s originator or beneficiary. Typical requests include:
  • The counterparty’s full legal name
  • Date of birth (for individuals)
  • Address
  • The virtual asset service provider (VASP) hosting the counterparty address, or confirmation that the address is self-hosted
A hosted address is held at another VASP, such as an exchange. A self-hosted address is a wallet the counterparty controls directly. For how this distinction affects transfers between VASPs, see Travel Rule.

How to respond

Respond using the questionnaire included with the request, and answer every question as completely as you can. If you’re unsure how to answer a question, ask your client experience team before submitting.

Why funds may be delayed

While a transaction is under review, the related funds may be held until screening completes. Responding promptly with complete information is the fastest way to resolve the review.
