Travel Rule compliance for VASPs

Overview

Notabene provides an end-to-end compliance platform for Travel Rule requirements, helping Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and financial institutions ensure information is correctly passed between counterparties during funds transfers. The product works by enabling counterparty verification and risk screening across transactions; it can simulate various transfer scenarios to test compliance processes and identify high-risk activities before they occur. Unlike some competitors who offer partial solutions, Notabene focuses specifically on Travel Rule compliance for VASPs and regulated entities, emphasizing data privacy, security, and scalable operational workflows to meet FATF Travel Rule standards and MAS regulations. The company’s goal is to help clients meet regulatory obligations, prevent high-risk transactions, and improve efficiency in compliance operations for digital asset transfers.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Ripple invested on July 23, 2026 and integrated RLUSD into Notabene Flow.
  • On June 4, 2026, Notabene Flow activated hundreds of customers for direct stablecoin B2B payments.
  • The October 8, 2026 HKDAP rollout proves banks want compliant settlement infrastructure now.

What critics are saying

  • Travel Rule compliance is becoming table stakes, squeezing pricing and vendor differentiation by 2027.
  • Sardine's 2026 partnership and broader compliance suites pull buyers toward bundled platforms.
  • If stablecoin payments migrate into exchange stacks, Notabene becomes optional middleware and loses relevance.

What makes Notabene unique

  • Notabene runs the largest open network for regulated on-chain transactions across 100-plus jurisdictions.
  • Its Transaction Authorization Protocol makes pre-settlement verification a shared network standard, not a silo.
  • FATF Contact Group leadership and CryptoUK sandbox work shape rules competitors merely follow.

Sardine Partners with Notabene to bring Travel Rule compliance and Transaction Authorization into crypto risk platform.

Sardine Partners with Notabene to bring Travel Rule compliance and Transaction Authorization into crypto risk platform. Compliance Company AML Payments Sardine, the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime, today announced a partnership with Notabene, the trust layer for global money movement, to bring their industry-leading transaction authorization to Sardine's platform. Through the integration, Sardine customers can manage and automate their Travel Rule requirements and transaction authorization alongside fraud, KYC/KYB, AML transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening within a single, unified platform. The partnership comes as regulatory clarity accelerates across the crypto and stablecoin industry with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation and Transfer of Funds Regulation (MiCA/TFR), Brazil's BCB Resolution 520, and broader adoption of the Financial Action Task Force's Travel Rule standards giving companies the certainty to invest with confidence. That stability is drawing a new wave of fintechs and traditional financial institutions into the stablecoin market, and a rising demand to consolidate compliance infrastructure. The integration pairs Notabene's transaction authorization platform, and the largest network of regulated entities in the industry, with Sardine's risk platform to provide joint customers with a single point of access to both. This allows customers to not only manage Travel Rule requirements alongside the rest of their risk and compliance operations, but also feed transaction-level decisions back into Sardine to strengthen their overall risk management posture. Notabene has the deepest counterparty network in the industry, and now it's integrated directly into Sardine's platform. That means its customers can handle Travel Rule compliance alongside fraud, KYC/KYB, AML monitoring, and sanctions screening all in one place, without adding another vendor to manage. Soups Ranjan, CEO and Co-Founder of Sardine Crypto and stablecoin companies shouldn't have to choose between transaction-level or customer-level risk. Both are critical components of a robust compliance stack. By bringing its network and transaction authorization platform together with Sardine's, joint customers get real-time counterparty verification and transaction authorization running alongside the fraud and AML tools they already rely on, in one place. Alice Nawfal, Co-founder and CEO of Notabene Notabene's network connects thousands of trusted counterparties, facilitating trillions of dollars in transaction volume annually across more than 100 jurisdictions, extending the number of counterparties that customers can safely transact with, on the open-loop and ISO 20022-compatible Transaction Authorization Protocol. While Travel Rule compliance is the entry point for many of its customers, Notabene's core service is transaction authorization infrastructure, providing tools for stablecoin payment coordination, real-time transaction authorization, counterparty verification, and self-hosted wallet identification that help institutions increase their straight-through processing rates and build trust into every transaction. Sardine backs that network with a risk platform built to help crypto and stablecoin companies detect and stop financial crime across the customer lifecycle, from onboarding and KYC/KYB through transaction monitoring and sanctions screening. About Sardine Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. Its integrated fraud and AML solutions unify data across risk teams, enabling real-time fraud detection and automated compliance operations. More than 450 global enterprises rely on Sardine to secure and grow their products, including category leaders across banking, fintech, wealth and retirement, HR and payroll, payments, and software. Customers include FIS, Experian, National Bank of Canada, Nubank, GoDaddy, Deel, Gusto, Paylocity, Xero, and ZoomInfo. Learn more at sardine.ai.

XRP news: Ripple invests in Notabene to expand RLUSD's institutional utility.

XRP news: Ripple invests in Notabene to expand RLUSD's institutional utility. Highlights * Ripple has made a strategic investment in Notabene with the amount undisclosed. * The RLUSD stablecoin will be integrated into Notabene Flow. * Both firms will also explore pre-transaction authorization for Ripple Payments. Crypto firm Ripple has made a strategic investment in Notabene, which operates the largest network for regulated on-chain transactions. Notabene will also integrate the RLUSD stablecoin into its infrastructure to boost the stablecoin's utility. Ripple makes strategic investment in Notabene. In a press release, Notabene announced that it had received a strategic investment from Ripple, without disclosing the amount. The firm added that alongside the investment, it will collaborate with Ripple to expand enterprise stablecoin payments by integrating the RLUSD stablecoin into Notabene Flow, the firm's B2B stablecoin payments platform. Furthermore, both firms will explore how trusted payment authorization can complement Ripple payments. Notabene also highlighted how its institutional network facilitates over $2 trillion in annualized transaction volume. "The partnership is set to accelerate adoption of compliant stablecoin payments while creating a pathway for RLUSD to be integrated across one of the world's largest institutional payment networks for digital assets," the firm said. This move comes as more institutions continue to adopt stablecoin payments following the GENIUS Act's passage. Ripple's RLUSD has also continued to gain greater adoption with key integrations. The stablecoin has also received a boost in interest as BNY Mellon's plans a 24/7 settlement system for the U.S. Treasury market Notabene's role in enterprise adoption. Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoin at Ripple, noted that Notabene's network addresses one of the fundamental barriers to enterprise adoption. "Together we're helping build the compliant infrastructure institutions need to move value at global scale while expanding the utility of RLUSD," he added. Notabene Co-Founder and CEO Pelle Braendgaard said that institutions are stuck on how to use stablecoins within the context of their existing business. He added that they need to know who is on the other side, what the transaction is for, and how to authorize payments without adding friction. "That is what Notabene and its network of regulated institutions solve. Paired with an enterprise-ready stablecoin like RLUSD and Ripple's global payments reach, it turns compliant stablecoin payments from a pilot into a real growth engine that reaches more counterparties and moves more volume, faster," Braendgaard said.

Ripple invests in Notabene to scale stablecoin payments across $2T transaction network

Notabene, operator of the world's largest open network for regulated on-chain transactions, has received a strategic investment from Ripple. The companies will collaborate to expand enterprise stablecoin payments by integrating Ripple USD into Notabene Flow and exploring payment authorisation capabilities. Notabene's network spans more than 2,300 connected institutions across 100-plus global jurisdictions and has facilitated over $2 trillion in annualised transaction volume. The partnership aims to accelerate adoption of compliant stablecoin payments by combining Ripple's global enterprise ecosystem with Notabene's institutional network. The collaboration addresses a key challenge as financial institutions move from experimentation to production with stablecoins: verifying counterparties and transaction details before value moves whilst meeting regulatory requirements.

Notabene launches Revert to enable post-settlement control for crypto transactions across 2,200 institutions

Notabene has launched Revert, the first post-settlement control layer for digital asset transactions, enabling institutions to safely coordinate and authorise returns of settled crypto transactions. The infrastructure addresses a critical gap in blockchain payments, where no standardised mechanism previously existed to reverse or correct transactions after settlement. Built on the Transaction Authorization Protocol, Revert allows institutions to initiate and complete return-of-funds flows with verified wallet destinations and full audit trails. The system operates as a shared network standard across counterparties, rather than within closed ecosystems. The launch comes as regulations like the EU Transfer of Funds Regulation increasingly require institutions to return funds in certain cases. Revert is available across the Notabene Network, which connects over 2,200 regulated institutions across 100-plus jurisdictions and has processed over $2 trillion in compliant transaction volume.
