The crypto exposure dataset that strengthens banking controls.

Effective monitoring depends on accurate recognition. Before thresholds are applied, alerts are reviewed and risk differentiation takes place, banks first need to identify crypto-related counterparties. Exclusively from Cense, Detect is a continuously maintained dataset of crypto-related IBANs designed to improve identification and oversight.

Enhancing control
foundations

Detect strengthens your identification layer, enabling your bank to apply its existing risk-based framework with greater consistency, transparency and control. It contributes to your  transaction monitoring processes without introducing new risk models or changing your decision-making structures.

‘yes’ or ‘no’.

The outcome of Detect is pure intelligence – a clear signal that a customer, account or transaction shows demonstrable crypto exposure. It does not assess legality, risk or intent, simply whether crypto is relevant and if further analysis is needed.

Completeness
matters

Many institutions keep internal lists of known crypto counterparties. Often built from prior cases, public information or internal research, they’re rarely comprehensive or consistently maintained.

Meanwhile, the entire crypto ecosystem is evolving at pace. Exchanges operate through multiple entities. Payment structures change. IBANs are updated or replaced. And licensing status develops over time

The absence of structured, continuous datasets creates recognition gaps, making it impossible to apply risk-based policies in full. At Cense, we tackle this structural weakness by providing systematic and fully maintained coverage via Detect.

What Detect detects

Cense validates crypto-exposed entities and payment structures through a continuously updated intelligence layer supported by a structured verification process.

Each datapoint is collected, reviewed, enriched and maintained in a way that makes the resulting intelligence traceable and auditable. This combination of data and process helps banks move beyond isolated transaction signals by connecting crypto-related counterparties, payment routes, exchange relationships, entity information and supporting evidence into a reliable view of exposure.

As a result, teams can identify where crypto activity appears in their client base, understand the context behind that activity, and document findings consistently across compliance review, escalation, audit and internal decision-making, including:

Strengthen transaction monitoring

Detect can be integrated into your bank’s existing transaction monitoring process as a crypto-counterparty classification layer. In practice, this can be as simple as enriching payment counterparties, such as IBANs, with structured information on whether they are linked to crypto-related entities.

This gives monitoring teams a more complete dataset to work with. Crypto-related counterparties can be identified consistently, enriched with relevant context such as licence status, jurisdiction and exchange risk profile, and then used within the bank’s existing monitoring logic.

Your bank keeps full ownership of its monitoring rules, thresholds, review process and final decision-making. Detect strengthens the input data behind those processes, helping teams apply their existing framework on top of a clearer, more structured view of crypto exposure.

Compliance decision-making stays where it should: with your bank.

Retrospective review and audit support

Your bank can also apply Detect to historical transaction data, enabling you to identify previously unclassified crypto-related fiat flows, reassess client exposure, support internal audit exercises and prepare structured responses to regulatory enquiries.

Improving classification consistency across current and historical data, Detect strengthens transparency within your established governance frameworks.

Verifiable. Traceable. Auditable.

All the classifications within Detect are supported by traceable and verifiable evidence. For each IBAN, our dataset includes documented linkage to the relevant crypto entity, along with supporting source information. Jurisdiction and licensing attributes are recorded and maintained, and changes are logged over time. This ensures that Detect’s crypto exposure identification is also suitable for internal review and external audit.
