  • General settings — let you define the default currency for the transactions that are processed, set up Travel Rule data exchange, and select transaction ownership confirmation mode.
  • Tags settings — let you create and manage tags that can be used for dynamic risk scoring and other purposes.
  • AML settings — let you select the provider for AML watchlist checks and customize the search configuration for screening.
