EU Regulatory Disclosures
Last updated: 8th September 2026
This Regulatory Disclosure & Disclaimer (the “Disclosure”) is provided by Flowdesk Europe SAS, LEI: 984500AB011S3AEF6706 (“Flowdesk Europe,” “we,” “us” or “the Company”) for informational purposes and to describe material risks associated with Crypto-Assets and Crypto-Asset activities.
Flowdesk Europe is committed to operating in full compliance with the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) (“MiCA”) and with the requirements of the French Autorité des marchés financiers (“AMF”).
This page sets out key regulatory information about our authorisation, how we safeguard your Crypto-Assets, and the risks associated with Crypto-Asset services. This Disclosure is not exhaustive. Please read it carefully. Additional risks may arise, and you should obtain independent professional advice (legal, tax, accounting, financial) before transacting.
*This notice relates solely to Flowdesk Europe and the services it provides under its MiCA authorisation. Where services are provided through other Flowdesk entities, separate regulatory disclosures apply in the relevant jurisdiction.
1. Our authorisation
Flowdesk Europe is authorised as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) by the French Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) under the registration number: A2026-022.
Our authorisation covers the following Crypto-Asset services:
- Providing custody and administration of Crypto-Assets on behalf of clients
- Exchange of Crypto-Assets for funds
- Exchange of Crypto-Assets for other Crypto-Assets
- Execution of orders for Crypto-Assets on behalf of clients
- Providing transfer services for Crypto-Assets on behalf of clients
You can verify our authorisation at any time on ESMA’s Crypto-Asset Service Providers Register or the AMF’s public register of authorised Crypto-Asset service providers, at the entry for Flowdesk Europe SAS: amf-france.org — FLOWDESK EUROPE SAS.
This authorisation is a regulatory status, not an endorsement. It does not mean that the AMF, or any other competent authority in the European Union, approves of, guarantees, or is otherwise responsible for Flowdesk Europe’s products, services or marketing communications, and it does not guarantee the value, liquidity or safety of any Crypto-Asset.
2. Risk warning: Crypto-Assets
IMPORTANT RISK WARNING: Crypto-Assets are highly volatile and speculative in nature and may lose their value in part or in full. Their value may fluctuate significantly over short periods due to market conditions, changes in supply and demand, technological developments, regulatory changes, and other factors.
By using our services, you acknowledge that transactions involving Crypto-Assets involve a high degree of risk and that you may lose all or part of the money or Crypto-Assets you pay, transfer, or hold. Your exposure to Crypto-Assets does not benefit from any deposit guarantee scheme or investor compensation scheme. We do not provide investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or any recommendation regarding any Crypto Asset, strategy, timing, or transaction. Any decision to transact is made by you at your own risk.
You acknowledge that we do not guarantee any outcome, return, profit, price, spread, liquidity level, execution quality, or availability of any Crypto-Asset or Service. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Crypto-Assets are generally not suitable for all persons. Before acquiring, disposing of, or otherwise transacting in Crypto-Assets, you should carefully assess whether such activities are appropriate in light of your investment objectives, financial circumstances, risk tolerance, and level of experience. You should not invest funds that you cannot afford to lose.
You may not be entitled to compensation in the event of losses arising from market movements, the failure of a Crypto-Asset, the insolvency of a service provider, or other adverse events.
In addition to market risk, transactions involving Crypto-Assets may be exposed to liquidity risk, counterparty risk, operational risk, technological risk, cybersecurity risk, fraud, network or protocol failures, and risks associated with distributed ledger technology, including the irreversible nature of blockchain transactions. Regulatory or legislative changes may also materially affect the availability, legality, taxation, transferability, or value of Crypto-Assets.
- Safeguarding of your Crypto-Assets. Where Flowdesk Europe provides custody and administration of Crypto-Assets, your Crypto-Assets are safeguarded in accordance with applicable MiCA requirements and segregated from Flowdesk Europe’s own assets and, where applicable, those of other clients. Your holdings are separately identifiable in our records. We use institutional-grade wallet infrastructure and multi-party computation (MPC) technology to protect access to Crypto-Assets.
- If your assets are held with a third party. We may use third-party providers, including custodians, exchanges, trading venues, banks, payment providers and blockchain infrastructure providers. These providers may experience insolvency, outages, cyber incidents, service interruptions or other failures that could delay access to or result in the loss of your Crypto-Assets. We conduct appropriate due diligence and oversight of relevant providers, with the allocation of liability determined by the applicable contractual and regulatory framework.
- We do not use your assets. We do not lend, pledge, encumber or otherwise use your Crypto-Assets for our own account or for the benefit of others without your prior consent and unless permitted by contractual arrangements or applicable law. Your Crypto-Assets remain your property.
- Technology and operational risks. Crypto-Asset services rely on technology (including DLT networks, smart contracts, APIs, trading venues, cloud services, wallets, and communications networks) that may fail, be disrupted, or be compromised. Cyberattacks, key compromise, phishing, malware, denial-of-service, and insider threats can result in delay, loss, theft, or unauthorized transactions. If an incident affects your Crypto-Assets, we will notify you promptly according to our incident response and applicable DORA requirements, explaining the nature of the incident, its impact (if any) on your holdings, and the steps we are taking to remediate the situation immediately.
Any information made available through this website is provided for general information purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, a personal recommendation, or an offer or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any Crypto-Asset.
Although our services are provided in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, including Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on markets in Crypto-Assets ("MiCA"), regulatory authorisation does not eliminate the risks associated with Crypto-Assets or guarantee the performance or value of any Crypto-Asset or related service.
3. How we safeguard your Crypto-Assets
Where Crypto-Assets are held in wallets, losses may occur due to hacking, operational errors, insolvency of service providers, or key management failures. You are responsible for understanding whether you, we, or a third party, control relevant private keys and the consequences of that arrangement.
In accordance with Article 70(1) to (3) of MiCA and Article 10(1)(f) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/305, we set out below, the main aspects of the systems, policies and procedures we use to safeguard your Crypto-Assets. This information will be updated whenever we make a material change to our custody arrangements.
For more information, our Custody and Administration Policy is available upon request, in accordance with Article 75(3) of MiCA.
4. Protection of your assets if Flowdesk Europe becomes insolvent
Flowdesk Europe holds your Crypto-Assets on trust for you. Under our standard client agreements, you are entitled to recover your Crypto-Assets in the event of Flowdesk Europe’s insolvency. Your Crypto-Assets are legally and operationally segregated from Flowdesk Europe’s own assets and are not available to our creditors.
5. Conflicts of interest
In accordance with Article 72 of MiCA, Flowdesk Europe maintains and operates a Conflicts of Interest Policy, available upon request, setting out the organisational and administrative arrangements we use to identify, prevent and manage a range of potential conflicts of interest, including:
- Trading conflicts, including conflicts between proprietary trading positions and client orders, activities relating to price discovery, and access to confidential information concerning client order flow;
- Client-related conflicts, including those arising from order allocation, differentiated fee structures and information asymmetries between clients;
- Financial conflicts, including personal dealing by members of the management body or employees, outside business interests, relationships with vendors and material holdings of Crypto-Assets; and
- Governance conflicts, including matters relating to the independence of the management body, related-party transactions, and potential tensions between regulatory obligations and commercial objectives.
We maintain a range of preventive and mitigating measures designed to identify and manage such conflicts effectively. These measures include information barriers, pre-trade conflict checks, segregation of client Crypto-Assets from proprietary Crypto-Assets, and regular independent oversight by our Compliance function. In accordance with Article 92 of MiCA, we also maintain systems and procedures to prevent and detect market abuse and report any reasonable suspicion concerning an order or transaction to the AMF without delay.
Where a conflict cannot reasonably be prevented, we note this in our internal register and where appropriate, provide any affected client with timely written disclosure setting out the general nature and sources of the conflict, the risks it may create for the client, and the measures implemented to mitigate those risks. All such disclosures are subject to review and approval by Compliance prior to issuance.
6. Whistleblowing
At Flowdesk, integrity is a core part of how we operate. Across all our global subsidiaries, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and transparency, and we recognise that this commitment only holds if people feel safe to speak up when something is wrong.
Our Whistleblowing Policy provides a clear, confidential, and protected framework for anyone connected to Flowdesk, employees, contractors, partners, or third parties to raise concerns about conduct that falls short of our standards or the law.
Concerns can be raised, via email: whistleblowing@flowdesk.co, on any matter relating to Flowdesk's activities, including financial crime such as fraud, bribery, corruption, market abuse, insider trading, or AML/CTF breaches; breaches of regulatory obligations or internal policies including our Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery Policy, and data protection standards; unethical behaviour, serious misconduct, or gross negligence; discrimination, harassment, bullying, or workplace safety concerns; and any activity likely to cause significant legal, regulatory, or reputational harm to Flowdesk or its clients.
Concerns can be raised anonymously. Where contact details are provided, the Whistleblowing Officer will acknowledge receipt within five working days.
Flowdesk strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith or participates in an investigation. This protection applies regardless of whether the concern is ultimately substantiated. The identity of every whistleblower is protected throughout the process, and information is shared only with those who genuinely need it for investigative or legal purposes.
Every report is reviewed, triaged by risk and urgency, and investigated impartially with outcomes reported to senior management and, where required, to regulators. All records are maintained securely in line with applicable data protection laws.

Flowdesk Europe does not provide its services to clients established, registered and/or located in jurisdictions subject to applicable sanctions or restrictions, or those identified as high-risk or non-cooperative by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the European Commission or other competent authorities, where such designation restricts the provision of the relevant services.To enforce these jurisdictional restrictions at the point of access, Flowdesk Europe applies appropriate technical and operational controls, including restrictions on access to its website and platform from sanctioned, prohibited or otherwise restricted countries, territories and jurisdictions, in accordance with its applicable jurisdictional screening framework.
9. Complaints

We investigate all complaints fairly and promptly and will communicate the outcome to you within a reasonable period, in accordance with Article 71 of MiCA.
Complaints are investigated impartially by appropriately skilled staff, with root cause analysis performed on upheld cases to drive continuous improvement across our services.
All complaint records are maintained confidentially in accordance with applicable data protection laws, in line with our policy.
10. Sustainability
Crypto-Assets involved in any service provided by Flowdesk Europe are determined by client instruction. Certain Crypto-Assets use consensus mechanisms (such as proof-of-work or proof-of-stake) that may have associated climate and other environment-related impacts, including energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and electronic waste. Flowdesk Europe has regard to such factors, where relevant information is made available by Crypto-Asset issuers or other reliable public sources. They provide information on the principal adverse climate and other environment-related impacts of the consensus mechanism used and reflect the best information available. These documents are used for compliance purposes and are not endorsements or representations of the environmental performance of any Crypto-Asset.
