Global Settlement Banking Platform Arf Secures Swiss Regulatory Approval

Arf, the global settlement banking platform for licensed money service businesses, announces that it has been granted the approval of the Financial Services Standard Association (VQF) through Arf's entity in Zug, Switzerland.

Arf's VQF membership assures its compliance with the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) acts, providing global regulatory acknowledgment of its reliability and underlining its position as the empowering partner of licensed money service businesses (MSBs) worldwide.

VQF is one of the world's oldest and most selective cross-industry Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO) and is officially authorized by the Federal Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). It is recognized as Switzerland's financial services watchdog, supervising its members with regard to AML and CTF regulations.

CEO Ali Erhat Nalbant said: "We are thrilled to have received the VQF license approving our strong place in the global finance ecosystem. As we are scaling our business globally, the support of Swiss regulators enables us to provide our Web3 cross-border treasury management and working capital credit lines to a wider range of MSBs in need. This way, we'll be elevating the ecosystem together more effectively."

Rajpal Khangura, Chief Compliance Officer, commented: "As one of the world's oldest and most selective cross-industry SROs, VQF's approval affirms our commitment to using blockchain technology and digital assets in full compliance with regulatory requirements all over the world. We are honored to become a member."

With the regulatory stamp of approval from Switzerland, Arf will continue expanding its products and solutions in line with its position as the trusted partner of licensed MSBs and financial institutions.
