How it Works

This page outlines the step-by-step process for using ShieldPay, whether you're off-ramping from cryptocurrency to USD or on-ramping from USD to cryptocurrency.

Backed by leading security experts and fintech investors

Step 1: Complete KYB Verification

Our system verifies your business and it's owners by performing:

  • Sanctions checks
  • PEP screening (Politically Exposed Persons)
  • Negative news searches and criminal history checks.

This process ensures compliance and eliminates risk by conducting off-chain real-world scanning.

Step 2: Transaction Scanning

Before any transaction, we screen wallets you want to interact with for:

  • Sanctions violations
  • Terrorist financing
  • Child/Sexual Exploitation Material (CSAM)
  • Fraud, money laundering, and other illicit activities

This is performed using on-blockchain scanning tools, providing a secure and compliant transaction process.

Off-Ramp Process: Crypto to Fiat

Crypto to Fiat Transfer

Once USDT is received at the deposit address, we initiate a same-day wire transfer to your bank (minus pre-agreed fees).
