SwissBorg and TRUST

Introduction to TRUST and SwissBorg

SwissBorg is proud to be a part of TRUST (Travel Rule Universal Solution Technology), a pioneering initiative in the crypto industry. This collaboration reflects our commitment to ensuring compliance with global regulations, while upholding our values of security and transparency.

The TRUST alliance is composed of a varied group of leading entities in the digital currency sector, including top-notch cryptocurrency exchanges, brokerage services, custodial solutions, and wallet providers.

Understanding the Travel Rule

The Travel Rule is a regulatory requirement, designed to make it harder for criminals to (ab)use cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology by providing greater transparency to transactions.
It requires crypto service providers to share (with the recipient only) basic customer information when crypto transactions are sent. As a key player in the crypto world, SwissBorg adheres to this rule to maintain transparency and trust in our operations.

Distributed Personal Data Storage

In the TRUST system, personal data is transmitted directly between members, ensuring end-to-end encryption. This method avoids the centralization of sensitive customer data, thereby reducing the risk of it being compromised or misused by unauthorized parties.

Proof of Ownership Verification

TRUST employs a verification process where the recipient service provider must cryptographically confirm its ownership of the crypto address in question before any customer data is shared. This step ensures that information is accurately exchanged between the correct parties and no one else.

Follow Security and Privacy Standards and Best Practices

To join TRUST, members must fulfil essential criteria related to anti-money laundering (AML), as well as security and privacy standards. To aid in this compliance, TRUST collaborates with Exiger, a company specialised in technology-driven compliance and risk-management solutions. It goes without saying that SwissBorg passed the Exiger audit successfully.
