About Cryptomus

Cryptomus is a custodial crypto payment gateway, wallet and exchange used by online merchants, with payment fees from 0.4% (2% for new users), auto-conversion and payouts. Its terms say users must register and complete identification and verification (KYC/AML) to gain full access, that virtual cards require KYC, and that assets can be frozen and accounts blocked for violations. Its AML policy describes government ID checks, enhanced due diligence, and blockchain analytics with source-of-funds requests on flagged transactions. The terms exclude citizens and residents of the United States. The terms refer only to "Cryptomus" and the laws of the country where the company is registered, without naming the legal entity.
