<news1><![CDATA[Hana Bank has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Upbit Global to promote the secure transfer of digital assets and establish a stronger framework for regulatory compliance.

According to Hana Bank on the 22nd, the signing ceremony was held at the bank’s headquarters in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul. The partnership will focus primarily on compliance with the Travel Rule.

The Travel Rule is an anti-money laundering requirement under which virtual asset service providers must collect and retain information on the sender and recipient of virtual asset transfers and share the relevant information with counterpart service providers. The rule is based on recommendations issued by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Upbit Global operates a related compliance solution through its subsidiary, VerifyVASP, which provides a service that securely exchanges sender and recipient information required for regulatory compliance while protecting users’ personal information.

The two companies will cooperate in areas including jointly responding to changes in digital asset laws and regulations; researching and testing technologies and infrastructure for secure transfers, including Travel Rule compliance; exploring ways to connect financial institutions with domestic and overseas virtual asset service providers; and sharing information related to regulatory compliance.

The companies have also identified specific areas for practical cooperation. They plan to jointly review requirements for implementing the Travel Rule, including the verification and secure transmission of sender and recipient information for digital asset transfers.

Hana Bank plans to use the partnership as a foundation for expanding its digital asset business. By combining its expertise in foreign exchange and payment services with digital asset technologies, the bank aims to accelerate the development of new digital asset financial services.]]></news1>
