VASP KYC Requirements: The 2026 Compliance Checklist for Crypto
Blog post from Didit
A Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) encompasses any business engaged in the exchange, transfer, or management of crypto-assets on behalf of customers and must adhere to compliance obligations similar to traditional financial institutions, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening, and the FATF Travel Rule. These obligations often require integrating services from multiple vendors, creating complexity and inefficiency. Didit offers a streamlined solution with a single API that covers the entire compliance stack, facilitating seamless integration and reducing the operational burden. VASPs are required to share originator and beneficiary data for transactions exceeding a certain threshold, with MiCA bringing EU VASPs under a unified regulatory framework. Didit's platform supports real-time transaction monitoring, ongoing AML checks, and wallet screening, providing a comprehensive compliance infrastructure at competitive pricing. The platform's capabilities include document verification, biometric analysis, and risk assessment for both individual and corporate clients, with formal attestation from an EU member-state government ensuring a high level of security and reliability.
