Compliance

Our compliance approach

As a custodial platform, identity verification and anti-money-laundering controls are built into the product from day one.

American Reserve Exchange is pre-launch. Our regulatory registrations and licences are being established; this page describes our programme and will be updated as approvals are obtained. Nothing here is a representation that any particular licence is currently held.
§ 01 — What we are

A centralised, custodial exchange

American Reserve Exchange holds assets on behalf of customers. It is operated separately from the American Reserve non-custodial wallet, with its own systems, identity data, and access controls.

Because we are custodial, we apply customer due diligence before funds can move.

§ 02 — Identity verification (KYC)

Tiered, risk-based verification

Identity verification is performed by Shufti Pro (government document plus liveness check). Verification results are written only by our server from a signed callback and retained in an audit trail.

We operate a tiered model:

  • Tier 0 — email-verified only; no funds movement is permitted.
  • Tier 1 — full identity verification; required before a first deposit.
  • Tier 2 — enhanced due diligence applied above a lifetime volume threshold.
§ 03 — Anti-money laundering

AML / BSA programme

We maintain a written anti-money-laundering programme appropriate to a money services business, including a designated compliance officer, risk-based monitoring, recordkeeping, sanctions screening, and suspicious-activity reporting procedures. The programme is being finalised ahead of launch.

§ 04 — What we are not

Not a bank. Not insured.

American Reserve Exchange is not a bank and is not a deposit-taking institution. Holdings are not insured by the FDIC, SIPC, or any government agency. We do not provide investment advice or guarantee returns.

If you encounter a service claiming to be "American Reserve Exchange" that asks for your seed phrase or guarantees profits, it is fraudulent — report it to our security team.
