Clearer information for crypto kiosk customers
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah kiosk operators must provide transaction disclosures in the customer's chosen language and confirm consent. Operators must disclose that digital assets and transactions lack FDIC or SIPC insurance or guarantees, and obtain customer acknowledgment. Kiosks must prominently show fraud warnings in English and Spanish and display a toll-free help line available 24/7. Receipts in the chosen language must list amounts in crypto and dollars, all fees, exchange rates, and refund policies. They must also include transaction hashes, relevant virtual currency addresses, operator and customer-service contacts, and government or law-enforcement fraud-reporting contacts.
Local officers get crypto investigation training
Beginning July 1, 2026, each Utah local law enforcement agency must have at least one officer complete crypto investigation training. That officer must complete training at least once every three years. Training covers blockchain tracing, investigative tools, asset seizure, evidence preservation, legal requirements, coordination, and recovery and sale of seized assets. Standards come from the director or designee, working with the Peace Officer Standards and Training Council. Trained officers can help other local agencies; the requirement specifies no funding amount.
Daily limits for crypto kiosk customers
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah crypto kiosk operators face daily limits on transactions from each customer. The limit is $2,000 per calendar day during the three calendar days following the customer's first transaction with that operator. After that period, the limit is $5,000 per calendar day. Transactions across all of the same operator's Utah kiosks count together. These caps limit how much customers can transact while limiting their exposure to kiosk-related fraud.
Kiosk oversight adds duties and penalties
Beginning May 6, 2026, Utah's Division of Consumer Protection enforces kiosk rules; violations also count as deceptive business practices. Operators must keep accurate transaction and customer records for the period required by Division rules or other applicable law. They must cooperate with law enforcement, name an internal fraud contact, and provide records for Division review or audit upon request. Administrative fines and court civil penalties can each reach $2,500 per violation; courts can order improper profits returned, consumer payments, and actual damages. Breaking an administrative or court order issued for a violation can bring civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation. When the Division wins a judgment or injunction, courts award it reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and investigative fees.
