WhiteBIT’s SEPA Payments for Businesses offers a comprehensive, flexible, and compliant solution for companies seeking to incorporate cryptocurrency in their treasury operations. Its ability to handle large transactions, efficient conversion processes, and mass payout capabilities make it an ideal solution for businesses operating at scale in the digital currency.
The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) has specific requirements for businesses looking to make deposits and withdrawals, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency transactions. In order to shed some light on how this works at WhiteBIT, we’ve put together a short overview below.
Requirements for Working with SEPA for Cryptocurrency Transactions
- Bank Account Registration: To use SEPA for deposits and withdrawals, businesses must provide a bank account listed in their Know Your Business (KYB) form. This ensures all transactions are linked to a verified business account, enhancing security and compliance.
- Mandatory Conversion to Crypto: Another requirement is that all fiat funds received via SEPA must be converted into cryptocurrency.
- KYB and Source of Funds Verification: Businesses must complete the KYB process and provide a verifiable source of funds. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of financial transactions and adhering to anti-money laundering regulations.
- Processing Time: A typical transfer through SEPA takes minutes, but in some cases, it can take up to 3 business days, depending on your bank.
- Refund of Unconverted Deposits: If a SEPA deposit is not converted into cryptocurrency, it will be returned to the originating bank account. This policy helps to maintain transparency and control over the funds.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, navigating legal and regulatory complexities can be a significant challenge for businesses. WhiteBIT partner network offers Legal Services as a tailored solution to address these challenges, providing comprehensive support for companies entering or operating in the crypto space.
Popular EUR Crypto Pairs
SEPA transactions are often used for trading popular EUR cryptocurrency pairs like USDT/EUR, LTC/EUR, BTC/EUR, SOL/EUR, ETH/EUR, SHIB/EUR, MATIC/EUR, ADA/EUR, XRP/EUR, XFC/EUR, DOGE/EUR. This wide range of pairs offers businesses flexibility in choosing their preferred cryptocurrencies. Beyond these pairs, businesses can exchange Euros for over 200 cryptocurrencies via USDT or a dedicated crypto converter.
Legal Services: Facilitating Legal Compliance in the Crypto Arena
WhiteBIT legal partners are subject matter experts when it comes to offering advice to businesses exploring cryptocurrency payments. Their expertise is focused on helping to secure a crypto license, a crucial step for any company operating legally within the crypto market. This process often involves navigating a maze of regulatory requirements, where their guidance becomes indispensable. They simplify the licensing process and ensure that businesses meet all legal standards.
Beyond licensing, company registration is another critical area where our partners can offer a hand. Registering a company in compliance with cryptocurrency regulations is a complex task, requiring in-depth knowledge of both local and international laws. WhiteBIT’s expertise in this area ensures businesses can build a solid legal foundation, allowing them to scale quickly and efficiently.
An equally important aspect of WhiteBIT’s services is assisting businesses in opening bank accounts with companies registered as Electronic Money Institutions (EMI). This step is essential for any business involved in cryptocurrency, as it provides the financial infrastructure necessary for handling crypto transactions. EMIs offer specialized banking solutions aligned with crypto operations’ unique needs, offering flexibility and security. WhiteBIT’s assistance in navigating the EMI landscape can be invaluable, particularly for businesses new to the crypto arena.
Moreover, WhiteBIT extends its services to provide ongoing legal advice and operational support. This support is not limited to the initial licensing and company registration but extends to the next stages as business operations grow and evolve in the crypto market. The legal landscape of cryptocurrency is constantly changing, and staying compliant requires continuous monitoring and expert guidance. WhiteBIT’s commitment to ongoing support helps businesses remain agile and compliant, even as regulations and market conditions shift.
