- **Safeguarding:** Segregated safeguarding accountsThe firm holds customers' crypto-assets in its own name in a segregated omnibus wallet per blockchain, keeps a ledger of each customer's holdings and delegates custody to Copper Technologies. Customers' cash stays in their Lunar Bank A/S accounts, and the Danish Guarantee Fund does not cover crypto-assets.

- **Crypto-asset custody:** Held by a third-party custodianThe firm executes customers' orders through third-party exchanges. It delegates custody to Copper Technologies, which its terms describe as authorised under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 and headquartered in Luxembourg, using cold storage and multi-signature controls.

## ISO 20022 identification

As an agent in a Swift cross-border payment message (CBPR+)

This institution holds no BIC. A CBPR+ message identifies it by name and postal address, and may add its LEI or a clearing code.

- **Identified by:** Name and postal address, with its LEI
- **Postal address:** Incomplete: no town published
-   The register publishes no town as a separate field. A CBPR+ postal address needs at least a town name (TwnNm) and a country (Ctry).

The LEI record in GLEIF holds a structured legal address.

CBPR+ identifies the instructing and instructed agents by BIC only. An institution without a BIC can be the debtor, creditor or an intermediary agent.

The values are as published by the register. Check them against your own records before use.

Sources & method

Register entries come from the public registers of financial regulators, standardised into one taxonomy. LEIs are matched through GLEIF, and a BIC is linked only through a shared LEI.

An institution missing from these registers is not necessarily unregulated.

Register entries are not matched against the OFAC or EU sanctions lists. Where the legal entity also holds a BIC, the matches for that BIC are on its page. Always screen against the official lists.

An institution is one entry in the directory: a BIC8 in Swift’s directory, or a firm on a tracked register that holds no BIC. Licences held by an institution with a BIC are shown on its page.

## Assess the financial crime risk behind a licence

A licence records what an institution is authorised to do; it does not assess it. The [Elucidate FinCrime Index (EFI)](https://elucidate.co/ratings) is an independent score of the financial crime risk of banks and payment institutions.
