AML and checks

CORE is non-custodial: we do not receive or hold client coins. An external provider, named before you confirm, runs the exchange.

Who performs the checks

Source-of-funds and sanctions screening (AML/KYT) is performed by the provider running your exchange, under its own rules.

CORE does not verify identity (KYC) and does not request documents. The provider may request them from you directly.

What CORE checks before creating an exchange

• the payout address matches the chosen network;
• a memo or tag is present where the asset is not credited without one;
• the account is not marked blocked.

What the provider may do

The provider may pause the exchange, ask for documents, or send the coins back less the network fee. This is stated in its terms before you confirm and reflected in the exchange status.

Prohibited use

The service must not be used for money laundering, sanctions evasion, or any unlawful operation. We may refuse service and block access.
