Open a Crown account as a company or foreign institution

Crown serves individual and corporate clients, Brazilian and foreign. Accounts are opened through Crown’s official channels. Every client goes through identity verification (KYC for individuals, KYB for companies), sanctions and PEP screening, ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) mapping and source of funds assessment.

What does each type of client submit?

Individuals submit identification documents and complete biometric verification. Companies submit corporate documents and documents on their ultimate beneficial owners.

Can a foreign institution open an account?

• local and global sanctions and PEP screening with Dow Jones Risk & Compliance tools;
• full UBO mapping;
• assessment of source of wealth and source of funds;
• real-time on-chain transaction monitoring (KYT) with Hypernative.

Compliance dossiers are mirrored with the custodian bank for account approval, and Crown’s KYC and AML flow is periodically audited by the partner bank.

What can I do after registration?

Deposit reais by Pix, settled in real time, 24/7, or deposit USDC, then convert to BRLV at 1 BRLV = R$ 1.00 or use the balance for FX operations on Crown FX. See eligibility and redemption risks a foreign institution should check.

What is Crown’s authorization status?

On October 20, 2026, the Central Bank of Brazil published Communiqué No. 46,145, which discloses, for public objections, the names nominated to Crown’s executive board (Diretoria).
