THE COMPLIANCE ENGINE INSTITUTIONS BET ON
Verax is a compliance orchestration layer being built to move cross-border B2B payments from stablecoin deposit to SWIFT settlement in hours — with an audit trail designed for FCA examiners to replay line by line. Pre-authorisation; not yet live.
CROSS-BORDER B2B IS BROKEN FOR THE MIDDLE MARKET
Mid-market importers in the EU pay suppliers in China, Turkey, MENA, and SEA with rails built for a different era. Every path has a fatal flaw.
Traditional banks
3–7 day SWIFT clearing, opaque 4–6% all-in cost, aggressive de-risking of MENA / CIS / SEA corridors, 0% tolerance for crypto-sourced funds.
Crypto OTC desks
Fast, cheap, and unusable for audited businesses — no MT103, no reconciliation, no auditor trail.
Fiat fintechs
Airwallex, Wise, Ebury have strong rails but are fiat-only. They can't accept the stablecoin deposits your Asian supplier wants.
The only path with crypto speed × banking's audit trail.
Designed flow (post-authorisation): stablecoin pay-in · AI-parsed, sanctions-screened, dual-use-checked · SWIFT settlement via an authorised correspondent · MT103 + reconciliation pack back to client.
THREE DECISIONS. ZERO HAND-WAVING.
Pick a scenario. The engine runs the same rules we ship to production. Every decision writes to an immutable audit trail an FCA auditor can replay.
KYB onboarding — pick a scenario
Same webhook Crassula calls when a corporate submits docs. HMAC → policy gate → Sumsub → OpenSanctions → GLEIF → Dify → decision.

BUILT ON INSTITUTIONAL RAILS, NOT RETAIL BAAS
Designed architecture: direct API integration with authorised payment & custody institutions (illustrated below with our target partners Clear Junction and Fireblocks — selection subject to contract). No BaaS middleman layer in the middle.
