Legal

Summary

Our obligations to laws and regulators are set out in the documents linked below.

All clients using our service agree to the terms and conditions of use and become involved in the process of complying with payment rules and payment service requirements. We don’t try to make these terms difficult to understand or opaque, but we strive to be open and provide the necessary support.

This is especially relevant at the intersection of traditional finance, digital currencies, and decentralized services, where we operate. We continually invest in researching rapidly evolving legislation and regulations in this area and do everything in our power to ensure our clients receive legal and compliant services.

For all questions regarding legislation and regulation in the field of payments and digital currencies please feel free to contact us at business@localbridge.com
