Find out about currently sanctioned cryptocurrency exchanges and related service providers

Updated over a week ago

At Brighty App, our mission is to provide a safe and compliant platform for our users to manage their financial needs. This commitment requires us to follow various international and local regulations concerning financial transactions. 

Why We Cannot Engage with Sanctioned Entities

Cryptocurrencies have expanded the financial landscape, creating a borderless world of transactions. However, with this evolution, regulatory bodies worldwide have flagged certain cryptocurrency exchanges and service providers as potential risks. Utilizing such sanctioned entities poses serious regulatory, legal, and financial threats.

Here's why Brighty App remains cautious:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Engaging with sanctioned entities can mean non-compliance with local and international laws, leading to hefty fines and penalties.

  • Financial Risk: Transactions with these entities may not be secure. Funds could be at risk of theft or fraud.

  • Reputation: Brighty App values its reputation as a trusted financial service provider. Associating with sanctioned entities could damage this reputation.

  • Legal Implications: Beyond regulatory fines, there may be legal actions and lawsuits associated with transferring funds to or from sanctioned entities.

Due to these reasons, Brighty App cannot send to, receive from, or process funds from any entity on the sanctioned list.

Remember, ensuring a safe and compliant transactional environment is a shared responsibility.
