Stringent Fund Management

Disbursement of exchange funds is subject to multiple layers of verification:  

  • Written Authorization: All disbursements require formal written instructions.
  • Verbal Confirmation: Additional verbal confirmation ensures the authenticity of every funds request.

  • Encryption and Secure Systems: Client’s data and communications can be encrypted and protected by advanced cybersecurity measures
