KuCoin EU Appoints New AML Chief in Vienna After Austrian Regulator Bars New Business

KuCoin EU has appointed Carmen Kleinhans as Anti-Money Laundering officer and two deputy AML officers from former Austrian regulators and bank compliance chiefs, expanding its compliance team in Vienna. The move follows February's FMA decision prohibiting KuCoin EU from onboarding new clients after finding inadequate staffing of key AML/CTF and sanctions compliance roles. The exchange faces broader regulatory pressure, including a $300 million US settlement in January 2025 and recent warnings from Dubai's VARA.
