Regulatory compliance: PSD2, GDPR, KYC/KYB, AML
GDPR compliance
Since SDK.finance does not store any user information or personal data, the direct application of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) to the SDK.finance Platform is not possible.
As it is the SDK.finance customers who have control and ownership over the data (since they manage the databases where user information is stored) they are responsible for ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations. This entails establishing proper data protection protocols, implementing privacy policies, and conducting regular assessments to maintain compliance with GDPR regulations.
PSD2 compliance
SDK.finance is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, which is the highest level of certification in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
While SDK.finance does not directly store, process, or transmit payment cardholder data (that responsibility rests with our customers), our PCI DSS-certified software development practices provide a secure foundation for your operations.
In short:
- PCI DSS compliance means our software development processes are secure, reliable, and built following security-first principles.
- By building on a secure Platform, customers can more easily achieve their own PCI DSS compliance for payment card transactions.
- Our rigorous security measures help reduce vulnerabilities and ensure a secure foundation for financial solutions.
KYC/KYB procedures
The SDK.finance software onboarding process is designed to make it easy for our customers to gather all the essential end-user information needed to perform a reliable KYC check. Next, the data collected should be transferred for review to the relevant system Actor, which requires integration with a KYC/KYB provider.
SDK.finance offers a pre-built integrations with ComplyAdvantage and SumSub, popular KYC providers, to automate their customer identity verification process. Also, our Platform’s API-first architecture streamlines the development of custom integrations with any other third-party KYC/KYB provider if necessary.
To empower our clients to meet the regulator’s demands seamlessly, SDK.finance offers our KYC/KYB/AML/CFT documentation solution – a comprehensive offering designed to simplify compliance processes.

AML transaction monitoring
SDK.finance is working on an integration with an AML provider, but it’s not yet available out of the box.
However, we have created a common API that enables easy integration with any AML provider of your choice. This ensures seamless operations following a standard flow.
