Domestic vs cross-border transfers
|
There is a difference.
For domestic virtual asset transfers, an originating VASP may provide only an account number (or, if unavailable, a
transaction-linked reference number), provided that the remaining originator details can be made available to the
beneficiary VASP and the relevant Swiss authorities within three working days of a request.
For domestic virtual asset transfers made in payment for goods and services, an originating VASP may likewise
provide only an account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number), where it is not
technically feasible to provide the remaining details, provided that such details can be made available to the
beneficiary VASP and the relevant Swiss authorities within three working days of a request.
The first option:
Natural Person
Originator:
- full name*;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number);
-
address (or, alternatively, date and place of birth, customer identification number or national identity
number)*.
Beneficiary:
- full name;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number).
Legal Entity
Originator:
- registered name*;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number);
-
address (or, alternatively, customer identification number or legal entity identifier (or equivalent
identifier))*.
Beneficiary:
- registered name;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number).
* This information may not be transmitted by default; however, it must be made available to the beneficiary VASP and
the relevant Swiss authorities within three working days of a request.
The second option:
Natural Person
Originator:
- full name;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number);
-

number).

- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number).
Legal Entity

- registered name;
- account number (or, if unavailable, a transaction-linked reference number);

identifier)).

Unhosted wallet verification
|
Until a VASP is able to send and receive the required information, such transactions are permitted to and from external wallets only where those wallets belong to one of the VASP's own customers. The customer's ownership of the wallet must be proven by suitable technical means. A transfer to or from an external wallet belonging to a third party is permissible only if, as when establishing a client relationship, the VASP has first verified the identity of the third party, identified the beneficial owner, and proven the third party's ownership of the wallet by suitable technical means.
