Market position

From wallet health to a named lender product

Private crypto-asset holders converting into real estate and traditional assets. A regulated credit line or Lombard loan against BTC, ETH or SOL, paid out in bank fiat or stablecoin, so the client can buy property or other off-chain assets. SafeScore screens the address, assists the compliance pack, and introduces the house — Sygnum Bank, AMINA Bank (formerly SEBA), Arab Bank Switzerland, Mt Pelerin, Arch Lending, Ledn, and Unchained. We are not the bank and we do not underwrite the loan.

Not a consumer cash advance. The desks below underwrite UHNW and family-office names who want fiat or stablecoin without selling the stack.

What we sell

Three services on one file

How a file moves

Screen, assist, introduce

Do not send a whale to a Lombard desk with an empty pack. We run the chain half, walk the documents, then push the matching lender product.

  1. Step 1 · SafeScore

    Wallet health audit

    Screen the public deposit address before anyone opens a Sygnum or Arch file. ScoreGuard for the compliance report; Holistix when every chain has to land in one call; ChainTrace when hops matter. Mixer, OFAC and unlabelled value stay on the page.

    Continue

  2. Step 2 · SafeScore

    Compliance assistance

    We run the client through the pack Swiss banks and US platforms actually ask for: how the crypto was acquired, who the natural persons are, proof of address. Stated CDD is compared to the chain. The house still verifies the documents — we make sure they are there.

    Continue

  3. Step 3 · SafeScore

    Lender products

    Fiat IBAN (Sygnum, AMINA, Arab Bank Switzerland, Mt Pelerin) versus faster stablecoin payout (Arch, Ledn) versus bitcoin-native multi-sig (Unchained). We match the rail and introduce the product. LTV and minima stay the house's published terms. We do not underwrite the loan.

    Continue

Honest limits

Assistance is not a rubber stamp

We assemble; the house still verifies

Assistance means a complete pack: chronology, identity fields, beneficial ownership, proof of address. Verified by SafeScore still only means the address is in the label book. A passport check is the lender's.

Not wallet hygiene

A mixer, OFAC hit or unlabelled majority is a finding we put in the file. We do not route funds through an intermediary wallet to hide that history.

We introduce; we do not underwrite

LTV, APR and minimums are the house's product, quoted from the CASP directory row. SafeScore matches the rail and opens the introduction. Confirm terms with the lender.

Not one score

ScoreGuard, ChainTrace and Holistix keep separate scales. The lender pack attaches the reports; it does not average them.

Products we introduce

Institutional lenders, by rail

SafeScore screens, assists the compliance pack, and introduces lender products. LTV, APR and minimums are quoted from data/crypto_asset_service_providers.csv and remain the house's. Terms change; confirm with the lender. Not an offer of credit.

Assistance pack

Tasks we walk with the client

The workspace turns this into a live checklist. Screening, SoW, identity and the lender pick can all close inside SafeScore.

  1. Stage 1 · screen

    Run a live wallet screen

    Screen the address that will be disclosed to the lender. Live indexer data only — a fallback report does not count.

  2. Stage 1 · review

    Read mixer, OFAC and coverage on that report

    Open the owned report. A hard designation still stands. Coverage is how much of the traced value was named.

    • OFAC / sanctions hits recorded in the pack (not omitted).
    • Mixer or high-risk cluster exposure named.
    • Coverage gate (named share of traced value) attached.
  3. Stage 2 · assist

    Source-of-wealth dossier (assisted)

    Walk the client through a chronological acquisition file. SafeScore holds the checklist and can compare a stated profile to the chain. The bank still reads the receipts.

    • Origin named: exchange purchase, mining, corporate revenue, or gift.
    • Dated receipts or statements covering the first acquisition.
    • Subsequent hops explained (not skipped).
    • Stated profile / CDD compared to observed inflows.
  4. Stage 2 · assist

    Identity, BO and proof of address (assisted)

    Collect the natural-person pack FINMA and US platforms demand. We do not run liveness or PEP screening ourselves.

    • Government ID for every natural person on the loan.
    • Proof of address dated within the house's window.
    • Beneficial ownership down to natural persons (if an entity).
    • Tax ID / registration where the rail requires it.
  5. Stage 3 · lender

    Match fiat wire, USD/USDC, or bitcoin-native vault, then mark the house. SafeScore introduces; the house underwrites.
