🌎List of Unsupported Countries, OFAC

HKD.com Limited ("HKD.com") believes that cryptocurrency should be for everyone, but we cannot extend our services to some countries that are prohibited due to sanctions.

As of February 2023

As a cryptocurrency exchange with licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, Dubai, Singapore, and the United States of America, we opt-in to comply with Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) sanctions.

The OFAC is a division of the US Department of Treasury that administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
