Restricted Jurisdictions

Overview

To comply with international sanctions, anti-money-laundering (AML), counter-terrorist-financing (CTF), and other regulatory requirements, Buburuza and its affiliated entities do not provide services, open accounts, issue cards, or enable crypto-fiat transactions for individuals or organizations located in, resident in, or operating from the jurisdictions listed below.

These restrictions apply to all Buburuza products and services — including Buburuza-Chain, $BUBU Coin, USDb, AEDb, CNYb, EURb, and any related payment, custody, or asset-management solutions.
