As a compliant and accredited financial institution, we are committed to safety, transparency, and professionalism, creating a secure environment for foreign exchange and cross-border payments.
The name “KAPU” reflects both heritage and mission: in Hawaiian, it means “sacred and protection,” while in Chinese, it symbolizes “reliability and trust.” This dual meaning underscores our promise to safeguard every transaction and build long-term trust.

Compliance is the foundation of our business. As a licensed money services business regulated by FINTRAC, we follow the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act and the Retail Payment Activities Act. We conduct identity checks, source-of-funds reviews, and record-keeping to ensure compliance. For data security, we use encryption, secure storage, and enforce privacy policies—disclosing information only when legally required. We maintain a risk control system covering transfers, operations, and monitoring to prevent money laundering, fraud, and other risks. Compliance is not just a legal duty but a promise to clients. That’s why we uphold compliance, safety, and transparency as core principles, working to safeguard client funds and privacy. Our goal is a stable, trustworthy environment where every client transacts with confidence.
