Yeah, sorry, I definitely don't mean to imply legal liability so much as financial liability. No one will really care legally (about you), you'll just be on the hook for the money.
As I said before, it's not a matter of whether or not your KYC process will fail, it's simply when and what happens after that. It sounds like you have your head in the right place, but I can tell you from experience that verifying bank account ownership and expecting the ACH chargeback period to be sufficient to protect you is not enough (for one thing a lot of banks are simply not great adherents of the ACH rules). You're essentially on your own, and you'll need to protect yourself, not just "follow the rules," if that makes sense.
> and charging bank accounts is all done on the company side.
I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Anyway, my contact info is in my profile and I'd love to chat more off-HN about this and compare notes against what you guys are doing.
- codelitt 12y agoWe'll get in touch to discuss further for sure! We do have measures in place to protect ourselves and we appreciate your comments. There's always more that we can do. It's also worth noting that an employer and employee have given all of the normal KYC information and have connected bank accounts so while the BTC wallet is "anonymous" on the network, we can link it to a specific person. The danger is near the same level as someone getting the money via ACH and immediately withdrawing in cash. (Many banks immediately mark the deposit as not-pending). I'm not saying that there's not risk. Just that the risks are fairly similar even though the network is different. Also I think what Tony was saying about debits only company side, is that we're only debiting company accounts which does decrease the fraud level vs a situation where we allowed an a personal account to be debited and money sent somewhere.
- wdewind 12y agoSounds good look forward to it. Btw I think I found a typo on your site: http://www.codelitt.com/technologies http://www.codelitt.com/technologies A successful product requires lorem ipsum dolor sit amet in tenebris.
- codelitt 12y agoAwesome and thanks for the heads up. We noticed it a while back and it got lost in the shuffle. We really should get that fixed though.
