safeheld.com/verifyQuestions.
Which reports are ready to file?
The UK monthly safeguarding return is produced ready to file in My FCA. The other reports are produced in each regulator's structure for your team to file in that regulator's portal.
Does Safeheld file on our behalf?
No. Your team reviews, approves and files every report. Safeheld produces it from the reconciled figures and keeps the sealed record.
Which US requirements are covered?
Permissible investments under the money transmission rules of California, Texas, Florida, New York and Washington, the NMLS money services business call report, and the GENIUS Act monthly reserve composition report for stablecoin issuers.
What does our auditor receive?
Read-only access, an audit engagement workspace and the auditor evidence pack for the period: reconciliations, sign-offs, exceptions, breaches and the source of every file.
How does verification work?
Every sealed record carries a digital fingerprint of its contents. Pasting it at safeheld.com/verify confirms the record is unchanged, with no sign-in and no firm data disclosed.
