Sanctions and blockchain risk screening

Payment Protection for Crypto Checkout

Direct USDT and wallet transfers can be hard for merchants to assess. MakePay routes crypto checkout through a clear payment record with automated OFAC sanctions checks and Chainalysis-powered blockchain risk screening to help reduce exposure to unlawfully obtained funds.

Payment protection capabilities

Where payment protection matters

Use payment protection when a direct wallet transfer would leave too much guesswork around source of funds, sanctions exposure, or customer intent. MakePay keeps the customer flow simple while giving merchants more context than a copied wallet address can provide.

01

Direct USDT transfer risk

Avoid treating a raw stablecoin transfer as automatically safe when the source-of-funds history is unclear.

02

High-value invoices

Add automated screening and a reviewable record before fulfilling larger orders, deposits, retainers, or account top-ups.

03

Merchant risk operations

Give support, finance, and compliance teams payment status and screening context in one workflow.

04

OFAC sanctions screening

Automatically check payment risk against sanctions-list context before the merchant treats funds as accepted.

05

Chainalysis risk checks

Use Chainalysis-powered blockchain intelligence to help flag hacked, stolen, or otherwise suspicious source-of-funds exposure.

06

Cleaner merchant records

Keep the asset, amount, customer reference, screening context, status, and settlement path tied to the same payment.

Risk-aware checkout

Screen wallet payments before they become business risk.

MakePay helps merchants move from raw wallet transfers to checkout records with sanctions screening, blockchain risk context, and clearer payment status before fulfillment.

Service answers

The useful questions before launch.

Every checkout path has small operational details. These answers keep the service page practical for merchants, developers, and support teams.

01Why can direct USDT transfers be risky for merchants?

A raw wallet transfer can arrive without enough business context. The merchant may see the amount, but still struggle to assess whether the source of funds is connected to stolen assets, hacked wallets, sanctioned activity, or another risk signal.

02Does MakePay replace the merchant's legal or compliance obligations?

No. Merchants remain responsible for their own legal, sanctions, tax, accounting, fulfillment, and compliance obligations. MakePay adds automated screening, payment records, and review context to support safer payment acceptance.

03What do OFAC and Chainalysis checks do?

OFAC screening helps identify sanctions-related risk, while Chainalysis-powered checks add blockchain intelligence about wallet and transaction risk. Together they help flag payments that may need review before the merchant fulfills the order.

04Does the customer still get a normal checkout flow?

Yes. Customers still open a branded MakePay checkout, choose an available asset such as USDT, USDC, BTC, or ETH, and complete the payment from their wallet while MakePay keeps the merchant-side screening and status record connected.
