BSA/AML Program

Byte Federal Inc.'s ("we", "our", or "Byte Federal") is committed to providing fast, convenient, and secure financial services you can trust. As a registered Money Service Business (MSB), we follow strict federal regulations to help prevent financial crimes and protect your personal information.

The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws are designed to detect and prevent illegal activities such as:

1. Money laundering
2. Terrorist financing
3. Fraud
4. Identity theft
5. Other illegal financial activities

These laws require Byte Federal to monitor transactions, identify suspicious activity, and report it to the appropriate authorities.

We have a comprehensive BSA/AML compliance program that includes:

1. Customer Identification Program (CIP)
   We verify your identity when you use our services. This helps prevent misuse of our services and protects your transactions.
2. Transaction Monitoring
   Our systems are designed to detect suspicious patterns or unusual activity. This helps us identify and stop fraud or potential criminal behavior.
3. Reporting Suspicious Activity
   When necessary, we report certain transactions to FinCEN as required by law. This helps law enforcement fight financial crimes.
4. Employee Training
   Our staff receives ongoing training to identify and help prevent suspicious activity to keep your transactions secure and compliant.
5. Regular Program Reviews
   We continually update and improve our compliance policies to align with current laws and industry standards.

1. You will be asked to provide identification when using our services.
2. In certain cases, we may request additional details to confirm your activity.
3. All information you provide is kept secure and used only for compliance purposes.

In order to utilize our services, your identity must be verified, authenticated and checked against government watchlist. Failure to complete any of these steps will result in your inability to use Byte Federal.

1. Verify your identity (KYC/CIP)
   1. Mobile phone number;
   2. Full legal name;
   3. Date of birth (DOB);
   4. Proof of identity (e.g., driver's license, passport, or government-issued ID);
   5. Home address (not a mailing address or PO Box); and
   6. Additional information or documentation as determined by our Compliance Team.
2. Phone Verification
   You may be asked to verify your phone number entering a code sent via SMS. This adds an extra layer of security to your user profile.
3. OFAC Screening
   We are required to check that customers are not listed on any U.S. government sanctions list, including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. This happens automatically during the enrollment and only takes a moment.
4. Wallet Address Entry
   You'll be asked to scan or enter your crypto wallet address so we can send your purchased cryptocurrency to the correct destination.

If you successfully meet and complete our requirements, and do not appear on the OFAC or any other government watchlist, you will be able to proceed. If your identity cannot be verified, you will not be able to complete your transaction.
