Security

CoinFalcon is registered as a Money Services Business (MSB)[4] pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) as administered by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The FinCEN stores financial transactions data; analyzes and disseminates that data to comply with law enforcement requirements, and builds global cooperation with counterpart organizations in other countries and with international bodies.

CoinFalcon stores 98% of digital funds in an offline, secure wallet, while the rest is protected by high-grade online security systems. Users can secure their accounts with passwords, but are strongly recommended to use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). The company also stays in full compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) security measures. In addition, card credentials are not saved on their server. This adds an additional blanket security layer to a user’s card transactions.

CoinFalcon application programming interface (API) allows users to access and control their account using custom software. Trade API is limited to 5 requests per second[5]. Apart from Trade API, CoinFalcon offers WebSocket API with pusher technology, which allows users to subscribe to certain exchange updates. This subscription allows them to receive real-time notifications about system changes without sending extra requests to get the required information.
