About the Course
The crypto Travel Rule has become a core operational obligation for CASPs under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113. It requires firms to collect, transmit, receive and assess specific information for crypto‑asset transfers, including transfers involving unhosted wallets, and to do so in a way that is integrated with AML, sanctions and transaction‑monitoring controls. Supervisors increasingly expect CASPs to show clear workflows, documented decisions, effective exception handling and reliable audit trails.
This course provides a practical, process‑focused understanding of the Travel Rule for CASPs. It explains when the rule applies, what information must be sent and received, how different transfer scenarios should be handled, and how governance and recordkeeping should be organised. It is designed to complement a broader MiCA course and a separate Crypto AML / Risk Assessment course: the MiCA programme covers the wider regulatory framework for CASPs, while the AML course addresses risk assessments, typologies and monitoring in more depth. This programme focuses specifically on the Travel Rule operational layer — data, workflow, decisions and evidence.
Who Should Attend
CASP Compliance Officers and MLROs.
Operations, payments, deposits and withdrawals staff.
Product owners, systems owners and project managers involved in Travel Rule implementation.
Legal and regulatory advisers supporting CASPs.
Internal auditors and risk managers reviewing AML and Travel Rule controls.
Prerequisites:
Basic understanding of AML/CFT concepts and CASP operations.
Familiarity with crypto transfers (deposits, withdrawals, internal transfers) is helpful but not essential.
Key Learning Objectives
After completing the programme, participants will be able to:
- Explain when the crypto Travel Rule applies, which transfers are in scope and the roles of originating and beneficiary CASPs under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 and related guidance.
- Identify the mandatory originator and beneficiary data fields and understand expectations on data quality, verification and recordkeeping.
- Describe regulatory expectations for transfers involving unhosted wallets, incomplete information, exception handling and escalation.
- Map in‑scope crypto‑asset transfers in their organisation and classify common transfer scenarios.
- Design end‑to‑end workflows for CASP‑to‑CASP and CASP‑to‑unhosted‑wallet transfers, including checks, exception handling and escalation paths.
- Define high‑level functional requirements for Travel Rule tools and plan how they connect to existing records and controls, without going into technical build details.
- Prepare governance, policy and recordkeeping elements that demonstrate Travel Rule compliance to management, internal audit and supervisors.
- Apply a risk‑based mindset when handling unhosted‑wallet transfers and counterpart CASPs with different levels of compliance maturity.
- Value strong documentation, audit trails and cross‑functional cooperation between compliance, operations, product and technology teams.
- Treat Travel Rule compliance as an integral part of the CASP AML framework, not as a stand‑alone technical process.
