Diligence starting points for treasury and vendor selection
Unit Bureau is a neutral index of how providers describe stablecoin acceptance and settlement. It is not a substitute for your security review, banking policy, or accounting treatment.
What you can compare in the registry
- Described payment paths (checkout, payout, treasury) versus marketing slogans
- Stablecoins and networks named on each profile
- Regions and use cases the desk could document from public sources
- Verification status, last reviewed date, and linked sources
- Uncertainty notes where public materials conflict
What Unit Bureau does not replace
- Contractual terms, SLAs, and liability allocation with a vendor
- KYC, sanctions screening, and bank partner approvals
- Tax, GAAP, and regulatory interpretation for your entity
- On-chain monitoring or treasury control testing
Settlement questions to ask vendors
- Which networks and assets are live for your entity type and country?
- Who holds custody at each step, and when does title transfer?
- How are refunds, chargebacks, or reversals handled on this rail?
- What are cut-off times, confirmation rules, and liquidity prefunding requirements?
- What reporting exports exist for reconciliation and audit?
Risk categories to keep visible
- Wrong-chain or wrong-asset transfers
- Counterparty and settlement agent credit risk
- Operational risk (API downtime, manual ops, support gaps)
- Compliance gaps between marketing pages and your approved use case
Sample profile fields to read
On each profile, prioritize settlement notes, evidence summary, source links, status, and last reviewed date before relying on the headline description alone.
