Compliance Officer Placement

Running a cryptocurrency MSB in the U.S. comes with an intricate and ever-changing set of regulatory challenges that can take focus away from your core business operations. Don’t waste precious time and resources managing your compliance needs in-house. Let Bit by Bit Compliance take care of all your regulatory headaches with a cost-effective, one-stop solution.


Our approach is rooted in a steadfast commitment to the five pillars of compliance as outlined in the BSA. With our Dedicated Compliance Officer Services, we take a proactive approach to mitigate risks for you and your customers, providing adaptable solutions that go beyond just checking the box. We understand that every MSB is unique, and we tailor our solutions to meet your specific needs to help you stay ahead of regulatory requirements. Outsourcing your compliance needs to us not only saves you time and resources, but also ensures autonomy in decision-making and no conflict of interest.

Our BSA audits are a time-tested solution to ensure your financial institution’s AML program is up to regulatory standards. With a focus on quality best practices, our experienced auditors specialize in cryptocurrency MSBs and have conducted over 70 successful audits. During the audit, we conduct transaction reviews and offer insight into any tuning that may be beneficial to your AML operations. Our audit report further provides a detailed analysis of your AML program, including an assessment of the “culture of compliance” within your organization.


At Bit by Bit, we believe that an outstanding audit not only identifies areas of weakness but also offers guidance on how to improve. As part of our service, we offer a complimentary half-hour advisory session to help you fully understand the audit results and determine actionable next steps.
