Yes, Kriptomat is a licensed service!
The company FintechX OÜ (the registered company for Kriptomat) was established in Estonia, one of the most progressive regulators for technology. As early as 2016, Estonia began regulating digital currencies by introducing licenses for Crypto Exchanges and Crypto Wallets. This falls under the authority of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), which ensures compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) regulations. These measures ensure Kriptomat operates at the highest legal standards.
