Ley 10961, published in Alcance N\u00b078 to La Gaceta N\u00b0113 (1),\u00a0 creates an anti-money laundering registration regime for virtual asset service providers. It is not a license, and it does not make crypto legal tender. It takes effect on or around September 19, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/en-id\/crypto-license\/costa-rica\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">crypto projects registered in Costa Rica<\/span><\/a><\/span> (or planning to) for crypto activities, this implies the necessity to appoint a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/fractional-compliance\/compliance-officer\/\">Compliance Officer<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><button class=\"whitespace-nowrap btn btn--small btn--blue\" type=\"button\" data-fancybox=\"\" data-src=\"#contact-form\">I Need VASP Compliance Advice<\/button><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who it affects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law casts a wide net. If your business, as a business, does any of the following, you are in scope:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exchanges crypto for cash, or crypto for other crypto;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moves crypto on behalf of customers;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holds, custodies, or controls crypto for someone else;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps issue, market, or sell crypto assets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That covers exchanges, custodians, payment processors, and OTC desks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even businesses trading on their own account may not be fully in the clear. The law&#8217;s wording (&#8220;for themselves&#8221;) goes further than the usual FATF language, and Costa Rica&#8217;s financial regulator, CONASSIF, still has to provide further clarification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>It\u2019s still a registration, not a license<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is what doesn\u2019t change, in comparison to before the law passed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registering with SUGEF, Costa Rica&#8217;s banking regulator, does not mean anything about your business model. There is no capital requirement and no fit-and-proper review beyond background checks on owners and beneficial owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the law is in force, banks and other regulated financial entities will be prohibited from doing business with unregistered VASPs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So registration is not legally mandatory in the sense of a license, it is mandatory in the sense that you cannot function without it. No registration means no local bank account, no payment rails, no way to operate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a positive for projects who struggled with banking in the past, as this gives additional trustworthiness to financial institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Requirements to foresee<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law adds a full set of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/legalbison.com\/en-id\/blog\/aml-acronyms-list\/\">AML<\/a><\/span> obligations. In practical terms, that means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer and beneficial owner checks (KYC);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A named compliance officer, or an approved alternative structure for smaller operations;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suspicious transaction reporting to Costa Rica&#8217;s financial intelligence unit;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transaction records detailed enough to reconstruct any transfer;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanctions list screening, with a 24-hour freeze requirement for flagged accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of this needs to be built from scratch under pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CONASSIF has up to three months after the law&#8217;s effective date to publish the detailed rules, which gives affected businesses a real window to prepare rather than scramble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the September 19th of 2026 deadline comes from.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sanctions for non-compliant VASPs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you continue to run a VASP without registering properly once the law has passed, you incur the risk of financial and administrative sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fines run from 2 to 100 base salaries for registration and compliance failures, and separately, 5% to 50% of the transaction amount for failures to report large transfers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fines matter, but the bigger risk is losing your banking relationships entirely. In a business built on moving money, that is the failure mode that actually shuts you down.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Regarding cross-border structures<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Costa Rican entities serve clients entirely outside the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The law does not clearly say whether that setup falls inside or outside the regime, and that question will likely only be settled once CONASSIF&#8217;s implementing rules land. If this describes your structure, it is worth a closer look now rather than an assumption either way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LegalBison\u2019s local office in Costa Rica is directly monitoring the situation, and will provide more information as the topic progresses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Where LegalBison assists crypto projects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rules are still being finalized, and Costa Rica will pursue in this direction. The Ley 10961 is the country\u2019s guarantee to not fall into FATF\u2019s Grey Zone, which would have disastrous consequences for the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is the best time to prepare. LegalBison closely monitors changes and provides live legal assistance to its clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, we help you appoint a compliance officer in line with regulatory requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Existing Costa Rica projects are then invited to get in touch with us to ensure you are compliant with the updated regulations.
