Security Information
What are the differences in regulations for each
License
A Grade License
Issued by globally renowned regulators, these licenses ensure the highest trader protection through strict compliance, fund segregation, insurance, and regular audits. Dispute resolution and adherence to AML/CTF standards further enhance security.
B Grade License
Granted by respected regional regulators, these licenses offer robust safety measures such as fund segregation, financial reporting, and compensation schemes. Though slightly less strict than Tier 1, they provide dependable regional protection.
C Grade License
Issued by regulators in emerging markets, these licenses offer basic protections such as minimum capital requirements and AML policies. Oversight is less stringent, so traders should exercise caution and verify safety measures.
D Grade License
From jurisdictions with minimal oversight, these licenses often lack key protections like fund segregation and insurance. While attractive for operational flexibility, they pose higher risks to traders.

Company Information
Get to know LocalBitcoins
Founded in 2012 in Helsinki, Finland, by Jeremias Kangas, LocalBitcoins was a pioneering peer-to-peer (P2P) Bitcoin trading platform. Its mission was to "bring Bitcoin everywhere" by allowing users worldwide to trade Bitcoin directly with each other using a vast array of local payment methods. The platform provided security for traders through an escrow service and a reputation system. After more than ten years of operation and serving millions of customers, the company announced in February 2023 that it would be discontinuing its service, citing a challenging market environment during the "crypto winter."
