Viljar Kähari has joined Kriptomat and its parent company, FintechX OÜ, as a chief compliance officer. Based in the company’s Tallinn, Estonia, headquarters, he will also serve as a member of the management board.

An attorney with nearly three decades of overseeing regulatory compliance for major financial firms like Nordea Bank, SEB, and PwC Legal, Kähari will lead the team that handles compliance and maintains relationships with regulators.

“I am inspired by the promise of cryptocurrency and fintech,” Kähari said. “I look forward to helping Kriptomat achieve its goal of delivering the benefits of digital currency and crypto investing to users in Europe and around the world.”

Kriptomat is uniquely committed to protecting customers and improving service through meticulous compliance with regulatory requirements and guidelines.

“When people think of Kriptomat, they think of safety, security, and simplicity,” said Dejan Davidović, chief operating, and integrity officer of FintechX. “Others may see regulatory compliance as a nuisance. We welcome it as a competitive advantage. Customers know we are committed to doing things responsibly.”

“Kriptomat has built a culture of compliance as a regulatory white knight,” Kähari said. “We are setting an example for other crypto and fintech firms to match our commitment to keeping customer funds safe and secure.”
