How Chainalysis helps financial institutions manage crypto risk

BNY Mellon integrated the full Chainalysis compliance suite into its risk management program to safely launch a multi-asset digital custody and administration platform that meets stringent regulatory and due diligence standards for institutional clients.

Towerbank used Chainalysis tools to safely offer crypto accounts, replacing slow manual wallet checks with fast, automated compliance so they can quickly and confidently onboard crypto customers.

“People know Chainalysis is the industry standard—government bodies and top exchanges are using Chainalysis. Therefore, when we just mention our partnership with Chainalysis, people know we’re operating at a high level of quality and that has enhanced our reputation as well. It’s the brand effect that Chainalysis has in the market.”

Anes Fific, Head of Operations Amina Bank

Bringing clarity and control to crypto risk

We are still finalizing our digital asset strategy. Is Chainalysis only for banks already “in crypto”?

No. Many banks use Chainalysis before launching any products, to understand existing crypto exposure in their customer base, inform their risk appetite, and build supervisory‑ready frameworks for banking exchanges, PSPs, stablecoin issuers, or tokenized‑asset programs.

Which business lines and teams typically own Chainalysis?

Ownership varies by institution, but we commonly work with enterprise financial crime (AML / CFT and sanctions), fraud operations, cyber / CISO teams, digital assets or innovation groups, treasury, and business line leaders for custody, payments, and capital markets. Our platform and services are designed to support cross‑functional governance and shared risk views.

How does Chainalysis integrate with our existing AML, fraud, and case‑management systems?

Chainalysis provides APIs and pre‑built integrations with leading case‑management, KYC/AML, fraud, and security platforms, so crypto risk becomes part of existing first and second‑line workflows rather than a standalone stack.

What level of blockchain coverage and data quality can we expect?

Chainalysis intelligence is built on hundreds of clustering heuristics, rigorous verification standards, and a global customer network, delivering industry‑leading coverage across blockchains and tokens and independently validated low false‑positive rates.
