[Compliance] Add AML transaction monitoring and sanctions screening #323

Description

@kelly-musk

Problem

For a money transfer / crypto on-off ramp platform, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) controls are a regulatory requirement in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, and Uganda. Currently there is:

  • No transaction monitoring
  • No velocity checks
  • No sanctions screening (OFAC, UN lists)
  • No Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) workflow

Fix

  1. Integrate a compliance provider: Elliptic, Chainalysis, or ComplyAdvantage
  2. Add velocity rules: flag accounts with unusual transaction volume
  3. Add sanctions screening on wallet addresses and bank account names
  4. Create an internal admin interface for reviewing flagged transactions

Impact

Critical compliance — regulatory requirement for operating a crypto ramp in target markets.
