Pole Star's RegTech Solution

PurpleTRAC, was designed with and for companies with regulatory exposures in maritime trade and shipping. The solution enables the automation, streamlining, and recording of regulatory processes and mitigates the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing, alongside the criminal, reputational, and commercial damage that would occur as a result of noncompliance.

PurpleTRAC is used by major international trade financing banks, trading companies, governments and flag administrations, maritime insurers, ship financing and leasing companies, and other members of the supply chain to demonstrate best efforts in compliance, all within an easy-to-use, web-based solution with API and DLT node application availability.

This automated data and information is customisable and configured uniquely to client-specific Sanctions and Risk Policy requirements. Through a single field of data entry for the user, PurpleTRAC is an advanced method for industry to ensure that the vessels being used comply with sanctions and international regulations, whether financing vessels or financing cargoes being transported by vessels, or industry exposed to shipping and maritime transportation.
