# AML / KYC

**AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) refer to sets of U.S. law which require a business that is engaged in monetary services to collect, retain, and report data about users.**

Casa is not a custodian of funds, since we never hold enough keys to sign a transaction. As such, **we are not required to "KYC;"** gather personal identifying information about our customers.

Since Casa never has custody of your funds, we have no AML/KYC mandates. See our [Terms of Service](https://casa.io/terms-of-service) for more detail on the information we do collect about you.

Not needing to KYC is one of the best things about a Casa membership.
