Araba has a wealth of crypto compliance experience having worked as MLRO for Coinbase, Senior Compliance Officer at Paysafe and Chief Compliance Officer at Coinfloor, one of the UK’s first crypto exchanges.

Since its founding in 2017, Zero Hash has employed the highest standard of compliance, securing Money Transmitter Licenses to operate across 51 U.S jurisdictions, two BitLicenses from the New York Department of Financial Services, Austrac registration in Australia and as a Financial Services Provider in New Zealand. Global innovators including Moonpay, Curve, Wirex, and Nium trust Zero Hash because of our stability, regulatory strength, and high standards.

“We’re delighted to have Araba onboard,” said Edward Woodford, CEO of Zero Hash. “One of Zero Hash’s key priorities is to ensure the highest standards of compliance as we scale internationally. Araba’s extensive experience will help us maintain Zero Hash’s best-in-class compliance approach as we accelerate our European expansion.”

Araba Eshun, UK Head of Compliance of Zero Hash said, “Zero Hash stood out to me due to its focus on doing things right, rather than taking shortcuts when it comes to compliance. In today’s environment, this mindset is more important than ever. I’m thrilled to be supporting Zero Hash as they continue their global expansion.”
