Withdrawing from zondacrypto? Avoid These Common Travel Rule Mistakes.

What Is the Travel Rule?

The Travel Rule is a global compliance requirement. Exchanges must share basic sender and receiver details for crypto transactions, enhancing transparency and security.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Choosing the Wrong Exchange Branch:

Exchanges like Binance, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase have multiple branches. Selecting the wrong jurisdiction (e.g., Binance.US instead of Binance.com or Bitget Singapore instead of Bitget) results in rejected transfers.

Example:

• For Binance users outside the US, select "Binance", not "Binance.US".

• European OKX users should select "OKX Europe", not the global "OKX" option.

2. Incorrect Beneficiary Name:

Always provide the exact name registered on the receiving exchange account. Small typos or nicknames lead to rejections.

Example:

• If your Coinbase account name is "John Doe", do NOT enter "Johnny Doe" or "Coinbase".

3. Mixing Up Fields:

"VASP" (Exchange) and "Beneficiary Name" are separate fields. "Beneficiary Name" should always be a person’s name or registered business name, not the exchange.

By being aware of these mistakes, you can avoid the frustration of a cancelled withdrawal and the need to contact support. Remember, if something doesn’t match up, the transfer will likely be stopped for compliance reasons. It’s much better to take a minute to get it right than to have to redo the withdrawal later.

How to Correctly Fill Out the Travel rule Form?

✅ Clearly identify whether you're sending to a private wallet or another exchange (VASP).
✅ Precisely select the correct exchange branch from the provided options.
✅ Double-check the exact spelling of the recipient’s name as registered at the receiving exchange.
