Which types of VASPs is the institution willing (and not willing) to bank?\n2. How are onboarding and escalation decisions made? Which cases can a relationship manager handle, which ones require financial-crime review and which ones need senior-management sign-off?\n3. Does everyone who will be involved in VASP due diligence have a working knowledge of digital assets? Are they able to interpret on-chain data in context?\n\nOnce that has been established, Elliptic recommends a two-pronged approach:\n\n1. A due diligence questionnaire as the first layer\n2. Blockchain analytics as the second layer\n\n### The first layer of VASP due diligence: the questionnaire\n\nThe [Global Digital Finance Virtual Asset Due Diligence Questionnaire](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gdf.io\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FFINAL-Global-Digital-Finance-Virtual-Asset-Due-Diligence-Questionnaire-2023-GDF-VADDQ-v1.2-1.xlsx), which is built on the Wolfsberg Group's global standard Correspondent Banking Due Diligence Questionnaire, is considered a good due diligence questionnaire for VASPs.\n\nThis said, with 14 sections, it is long and thorough. Depending on an FI’s risk appetite, a risk-based approach, where the full version is sent to high-risk applicants and an abridged version sent to lower-risk ones, could be the solution that works best for both parties.\n\n### The second layer of VASP due diligence: blockchain analytics\n\nBy evaluating a VASP’s on-chain activity, blockchain analytics solutions contextualize and corroborate (or challenge) the information a VASP provides in the due diligence questionnaire. This works on two levels:\n\n**Wallet and transaction screening** takes a single address or flow, such as one a VASP has disclosed as its own, and checks it against the risk categories like sanctioned addresses, darknet markets, ransomware wallets, mixers, confirmed exploits and scams. It tells you what risk attaches to a specific address or transfer.\n\n**Entity-level assessment** takes the business as a whole. A solution like[ Elliptic Discovery](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.elliptic.co\u002Fproducts\u002Fdiscovery\u002F) combines a VASP’s on-chain information with off-chain information such as licensing, jurisdiction and ownership into a single risk score. Discovery tells you where the bulk of inflows originate, where outflows go, what proportion of activity touches illicit categories and how those proportions move over time.\n\nEntity-level assessment is what you lean on for the onboarding decision, because it characterizes the counterparty as a business. Screening is what you rely on where attribution is thin, which is usually the institutional-only case, and it is also the operation that runs continuously once the relationship is live.\n\n## What's in Elliptic's How to onboard a VASP guide?\n\nElliptic's guide tackles every aspect of VASP due diligence in more detail, including:\n\n- What qualifies as a VASP\n- How banks should determine their risk appetite and approach to governance\n- How to combine the two VASP onboarding layers effectively\n- How to interpret on-chain risk indicators\n\nRegulators in the US, EU and other major jurisdictions increasingly expect banks to have effective crypto counterparty risk management processes in place.
