VASPs live under the world’s fastest-hardening AML expectations. In Austria, Vienna’s fintech scene is growing steadily. ABM Global Compliance supports virtual asset service providers in Austria with FATF-standard frameworks, Travel Rule implementation, and licensing across regimes, keeping your business aligned with the expectations that supervision here actually applies. We build compliance for exactly that reality.

Global Standards, Local Enforcement for VASPs
FATF standards demand risk-based due diligence, blockchain-native monitoring, wallet screening, and the Travel Rule, while EU operations now route through MiCA authorisation. In Austria, that framework lands on a market with its own character: Vienna’s fintech scene is growing, with the FMA running a regulatory sandbox and licensing point of contact. Layered onto the EU rulebook sit national requirements including FM-GwG.
Correspondent and banking relationships everywhere depend on demonstrable compliance quality, and perimeter questions around EU customers carry real consequences. Reverse solicitation is narrower than most business plans assume. What works is compliance designed for this jurisdiction, where a tradition of conservative, detail-focused supervision with strong CEE reach sets the accent that expectations carry. Our consultants have built exactly that for businesses across Austria.

VASP Compliance Questions Answered
What is a VASP under FATF standards?
Any business conducting exchange, transfer, safekeeping, or issuance services for virtual assets, triggering full AML/CFT obligations under national implementations of FATF standards.
How do VASPs comply with the Travel Rule?
By transmitting required originator and beneficiary information with transfers, using interoperable technical solutions and conducting due diligence on counterparty VASPs, which we help implement, including FM-GwG duties.
Do VASPs need licences in Europe?
EU operations now require CASP authorisation under MiCA, replacing national VASP registrations, and we manage transitions and fresh applications across member states.
How should VASPs handle wallet screening?
Through blockchain analytics identifying sanctions exposure, illicit sources, and high-risk counterparties, calibrated to your risk appetite and documented for regulators every time.
Can non-EU VASPs serve European customers?
Only within strict limits: reverse solicitation is narrow, and active EU marketing or servicing generally requires authorisation, a perimeter we help assess honestly.
