- I am not FCA authorised, and nothing here is financial advice.

Pricing & service boundaries
Starting prices are indicative. Final fees are confirmed before work begins and depend on scope, complexity and the information available. Prices are in GBP and exclude VAT where applicable.
Wallet screening and investigations identify risk indicators and transaction activity; they do not establish criminal conduct, guarantee AML outcomes or guarantee recovery of funds. Individual services provide general education and practical guidance, not personalised regulated investment advice, tax advice or legal advice. Transaction record preparation is for review by the client’s accountant or tax professional.
Not sure which service fits? Tell us what you need and we will clarify the appropriate scope, deliverables and fee.

Thirteen years inside crypto, not looking in from the outside.
I became involved in cryptocurrency when Bitcoin was trading at around $100. I then spent 13 years operating a customer-focused digital-assets business, serving more than 50,000 customers across the UK and Europe.
My work covered the customer and operational sides of crypto: buying and selling, wallets, secure storage, scams, KYC/AML, transaction monitoring, regulatory requirements and risk.
JDR Digital Assets makes that experience directly available to people and businesses — without hype, coin promotion or pressure to invest.
