Compliance built for institutional digital asset infrastructure.
Ibex combines local regulatory frameworks, institutional onboarding, transaction monitoring and digital-asset controls across the markets where we operate.
Local frameworks. One compliance standard.
IBEX operates through relevant group entities in accordance with the regulatory requirements applicable to the activities performed in each jurisdiction. Where licensing or registration regimes apply, the relevant entity maintains the corresponding authorization or registration.
In jurisdictions where no specific licensing regime exists for the relevant digital asset activities, IBEX operates only where those activities are legally permissible and applies its group-wide AML/CFT, sanctions, KYC/KYB and transaction-monitoring standards, together with any applicable local requirements.
El Salvador
IBEX Mercado SV, S.A. de C.V. operates under the registrations applicable to its digital-asset and Bitcoin-related activities in El Salvador, including oversight by the Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales (CNAD) and the Superintendencia del Sistema Financiero (SSF), as applicable.
Guatemala
IBEX Cleartech, S.A. structures its Guatemala operations in accordance with the local legal and AML/CFT framework applicable to virtual asset service activities, including the requirements introduced under the country's evolving VASP regulatory framework.
Mexico
IBEX Mercado MX S.A. de C.V., our entity in Mexico, is registered under the Vulnerable Activities framework applicable to virtual asset activities and is subject to the corresponding AML identification, recordkeeping and reporting obligations.
What our compliance framework covers
Institutional onboarding
KYC, KYB, UBO identification, source-of-funds review and risk-based due diligence.
Transaction monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of fiat and digital-asset activity based on customer, corridor and transaction risk.
Blockchain intelligence
Wallet screening and transaction analysis designed to identify sanctions, illicit-finance and counterparty exposure.
Sanctions & PEP screening
Screening against applicable sanctions lists, PEP databases and other relevant risk sources.
Ongoing compliance
Periodic reviews, enhanced due diligence where required, recordkeeping and regulatory reporting under applicable local requirements.
Compliance from onboarding through settlement.
Whether you're settling a cross-border payment, clearing a stablecoin trade, or converting between fiat and digital assets - it all flows through the same infrastructure. Most providers solve one leg and outsource the rest. IBEX runs all three from a single engine.
The relevant counterparty, beneficial owners and authorized persons are identified and risk-rated before access is enabled.
STEP 2
Screen
Customers, wallets and transactions are screened against applicable sanctions, PEP and blockchain-risk indicators.
STEP 3
Monitor
Activity is monitored on an ongoing basis, with escalation, enhanced review and reporting procedures applied where required.
Compliance embedded in the infrastructure.
Risk-based KYC and KYB designed for institutional counterparties.
Unified onboarding and compliance controls across supported IBEX services.
Transaction and wallet monitoring integrated into operational workflows.
Relationship-led onboarding rather than open-market, self-serve access.
Local regulatory requirements mapped to a group-wide compliance framework.
Governance
Compliance at IBEX is led by a dedicated compliance function that operates independently of commercial objectives. Our program is overseen at the leadership level and supported by internal policies covering AML/CFT, sanctions, data protection, and risk management.
Regulatory Engagement
IBEX works constructively with regulators and competent authorities. We respond to lawful requests for information and cooperate with supervisory bodies as part of our commitment to operating a transparent and accountable business.
