What Happens to a Flagged Transaction, Start to Finish

The concern about screening isn't usually that verification exists — most people accept that happens somewhere. It's whether being flagged means being stuck with no timeline and no way out.

Here's the full path. An automated system screens transactions and most clear with nothing further required. If one trips the criteria, that specific transaction pauses and you're notified. From there, two routes, and both of them end.

First route: verify. You get a link to verify identity through SumSub, their KYC partner, and you have three days to complete it. Once done, the transaction resumes and settles normally.

Second route: decline. You don't have to verify. Email [email protected] and decline, and the deposit is refunded to the deposit address within 24 hours, minus the network fee. This is the route that actually matters for trust, because it means depositing isn't a one-way commitment to whatever process follows.

Not leaving out the bad parts: false documents mean the transaction is treated as failed, and addresses can be blacklisted in cases involving false documentation or fraud. A policy that only describes good outcomes isn't a complete policy.

One honest limitation — the screening criteria aren't published. The reason is legitimate and standard across the industry, since publishing them would let anyone structure around them. But it does mean decisions can't be audited from outside. That's a real constraint of risk-based screening generally rather than something specific to one platform.

Bounded timeline, two defined exits, no indefinite waiting.
