What compliance does halfin handle versus what we handle?

halfin handles the payment side: KYB on your business, AML awareness as funds move, address validation, and a record of every invoice and payout. You handle the education side: student identity and eligibility, program accreditation and approvals, counterparty and wallet screening against your own watchlists, and the cross-border legal and tax obligations of teaching where you teach. The two reconcile through signed events.
