SafeW Technology Co. Ltd. (SafeW Messaging App)
Auto-generated score, not yet verified against the scoring model. Under review — treat as indicative, not a verdict.
Summary
SafeW Technology Co., Ltd. is the developer of SafeW, an end-to-end encrypted messaging application that the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated on September 9, 2026, for materially supporting Xinbi Guarantee, a Chinese-language online marketplace OFAC designated the same day as a significant transnational criminal organization. According to OFAC, Xinbi Guarantee — alleged to have processed more than $24 billion in digital and fiat currency since roughly 2022 in support of Southeast Asian scam centers and money-laundering networks — began migrating its merchant and vendor coordination onto SafeW around June 2025 as law enforcement scrutiny of its prior channels increased. Singapore's police force has publicly disputed OFAC's characterization of SafeW Technology as a Singapore-incorporated entity, stating it has found no evidence to substantiate that claim.
