“No KYC” Crypto Cards Tap Corporate Issuing Loopholes

Why This Matters

Why this matters: Finance leaders must understand emerging compliance risks as crypto payment infrastructure exploits regulatory gaps that could expose their organizations to sanctions violations and financial crime liability.

"No KYC" Crypto Cards Tap Corporate Issuing Loopholes

Cryptocurrency payment card providers are exploiting regulatory loopholes in corporate credit card issuing to offer "no KYC" (know-your-customer) cards that bypass identity verification requirements. These services, some marketed with privacy-focused messaging, raise significant compliance and financial crime concerns for regulators and financial institutions, with some explicitly facilitating sanctions evasion.
