Direct Transfers to Crypto Exchanges
Banks blacklist known exchanges (#Binance, #Coinbase, etc.).
Transfers to these platforms are blocked automatically.
Suspicious Transaction Patterns
Frequent P2P transfers (multiple small deposits/withdrawals).
Large, unexplained transactions without a clear source.
Keyword Scanning in Transaction Remarks
Banks flag terms like:
"$BTC " "USDT," "Crypto," "Binance," "P$2P."
Solution: Use vague remarks like "Freelance Payment."
Link to Foreign Exchange (FX) & Hawala
Frequent PKR ↔ USD conversions raise red flags.
Transfers to crypto-friendly countries (UAE, Turkey) are monitored.
Tax & FBR Tracking
Large crypto cash-outs trigger FBR scrutiny.
Must prove source of funds or face tax penalties (35%).
Exchange KYC Data Leaks
If you verify ID on Binance/etc., data may be shared with regulators.
