The challenge

What PVARA expects of a virtual asset business.

Regulatory approval is not a form. It is evidence that your framework, governance and operations meet the standard, before you apply.

Regulatory expectations

Meeting PVARA’s standard for a licensed VASP, interpreted correctly and evidenced.

AML framework requirements

A risk-based AML/CFT programme proportionate to your products, customers and channels.

Travel Rule obligations

Originator and beneficiary information must travel with transfers, across counterparties.

Governance requirements

Board oversight, a qualified compliance officer and clear lines of accountability.

Documentation requirements

Policies, procedures and risk assessments written to the standard a supervisor expects.

Operational readiness

Evidence the framework actually runs day to day, not just that it exists on paper.

Licensing preparation

Assembling a complete, coherent submission that answers what PVARA will ask.

Ongoing compliance obligations

Monitoring, reporting and review that continue long after approval is granted.

The readiness journey

From gap assessment to submission readiness.

A structured programme that takes a virtual asset business from where it is today to operationally ready for PVARA approval.
