The KYB deposit threshold of 5'000 \CURRENCY{} per month and than 25'000
\CURRENCY{} per year ensure compliance with article 48-1b.
Additionally, our terms of service will prohibit businesses to receive
amounts exceeding 1'000 \CURRENCY{} per transaction (well below the
15'000 \CURRENCY{} threshold defined in article 24-1c).

In the analysis of the legal requirements, it is important to differenciate
between transactions between wallets (customer-to-customer) and transactions
where money flows from a wallet into a bank account (customer-to-merchant) as
these have different limits: When digital coins are deposited at a business in
Taler, the business never actually receives usable digital coins but instead
the amount is always directly credited to their bank account. Depending on
the transacted amounts, the business will nevertheless be subject to KYB

For {\bf merchants}, the Taler equivalent of ``opening'' an account and thus
establishing an ongoing business relationship is for a business to receive
payments (see Section~\ref{sec:deposit}) exceeding CHF 5000/month or CHF
15000/year. We will consider the account ``open'' (and require up-to-date KYB
payments (see Section~\ref{sec:deposit}) exceeding CHF 5'000/month or CHF
25'000/year. We will consider the account ``open'' (and require up-to-date KYB
information and check sanction lists) as long as the business has made any
transactions within the last 24 months.
In contrast to normal customers, merchants can in principle {\bf receive}
payments without limit. However, these transactions must go into the bank
account of the business: when digital coins are deposited at a business in
Taler, the business never actually receives usable digital coins but instead
the amount is always directly credited to their bank account. Depending on
the transacted amounts, the business will be subject to KYB

into the existing bank accounts of the merchants to compensate them for sales
made using the Taler payment system, we do not need to check the origin of
funds for those merchants as they will only receive funds from
us.\footnote{Should businesses want to use Taler for expenditures, they will
need to withdraw digital coins from their bank account just like customers,
