Anyone else finding KYC/AML a moving target lately for crypto payments?

Starting to feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole with payment providers for crypto-related transactions, especially when trying to on-ramp/off-ramp larger sums. It used to be a case of ticking a few boxes, sending over the utility bill, and being done with it. Now, it seems like every other month, there's a new layer of scrutiny, additional documentation requests, or outright rejections without much clarity.

I get the regulatory pressures, absolutely, and no one wants to facilitate anything dodgy. But the sheer inconsistency across different PSPs (even those reputable ones) is becoming a real headache. One week, they'll accept a certain type of proof of funds; the next, it's not good enough, and they want bank statements going back to the Stone Age. It makes forecasting liquidity and managing capital flow for speculative plays in the $BTC or altcoin space a lot more unpredictable than the market itself sometimes. Anyone else experiencing this increased friction, or am I just getting unlucky with the KYC gods lately?

I've definitely noticed the same, especially when trying to use different platforms. Is it mostly about the source of funds for you, or do you find it's more about the destination?

I've definitely noticed the same, particularly with more established banking institutions becoming increasingly wary. It makes sense from a regulatory standpoint, but the implementation can feel inconsistent.
