Cryptocurrency exchanges Bitfinex is preparing to test out a new Anti-Money Laundering (AML) tool on its platform.

The firm announced Wednesday that it will be testing a new solution designed for complying with the “Travel Rule,” an AML and Counter Financing of Terrorism regulation for financial institutions introduced by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in 2019.

Bitfinex partnered with compliance startup Notabene to implement its software-as-a-service solution to identify digital asset accounts, track cross-border transactions, and comply with other broad obligations of virtual asset service providers (VASP). The integration will supposedly allow the firm to ensure privacy while collecting and managing Travel Rule-related data.

According to the announcement, the solution allows Bitfinex to share, send and receive counterparty information alongside blockchain transactions to any counterparties using the same infrastructure. Bitfinex’s sister company, Tether, which operates the world’s largest stablecoin, Tether

, has also begun using Notabenes solution.

Peter Warrack, chief compliance officer at Bitfinex, said that Bitfinex has “always taken a leading role in meeting new global regulatory requirements.”

Notabene CEO Pelle Brændgaard told Cointelegraph that the firm had launched its Travel Rule solution in August 2020. The service is currently processing transactions among at least 50 different exchanges, including Paxful, Luno, Bitso, OnChain Custodian and others.

Notabene has been running tests across many jurisdictions, including a pilot with the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market in early October.

Brændgaard added that Travel Rule compliance has been growing rapidly every quarter, and the firm expects major VASPs to have complied by the first or second quarter of 2022.

Since releasing the crypto Travel Rule more than two years ago, the FATF has continued working on the framework to improve it and fit the growing cryptocurrency industry. The FATF pointed out the increased urgency for global regulators to implement the Travel Rule as part of its VASP guidance update on Oct. 28.

In February, the authority issued a review document to adapt its Travel Rule guidance for stablecoins and crypto peer-to-peer transactions.
