Understanding the Travel Rule: A Guide for Lunu Pay Users

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency regulations, the "Travel Rule" is one of the most important compliance measures that businesses and individuals need to understand. At Lunu Pay, we are committed to ensuring that our users navigate these regulations with ease while benefiting from the seamless experience of using our platform.

What Is the Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule is a global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulation that mandates financial institutions to share specific information about fund transfers. Originally introduced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), this rule now extends to virtual asset service providers (VASPs), including cryptocurrency exchanges and payment platforms like Lunu Pay.

The core requirement of the Travel Rule is to transmit certain identifying information about the sender and recipient during transactions above a specific threshold. This measure aims to enhance transparency and reduce illicit activities involving digital assets.

Key Requirements Under the Travel Rule

For cryptocurrency transactions that meet the threshold criteria, Lunu Pay, as a compliant VASP, ensures the following information is securely transmitted:

1. Sender Information:
   • Full name
   • Address
   • National ID number
   • Account number or wallet address
2. Recipient Information:
   • Full name
   • Wallet address or account number

Why Is the Travel Rule Important?

The Travel Rule plays a critical role in:

• Preventing Illegal Activities: It deters the use of cryptocurrencies for money laundering and terrorist financing.
• Global Regulatory Alignment: Ensures compliance with international standards, fostering trust in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
• Protecting Users: By maintaining a compliant framework, Lunu Pay safeguards its users against potential legal and financial risks.
