Jurisdiction-aware transaction compliance

    The rule can change. The transaction still has to be right.

    Centsless determines which cash-rounding rule governs a transaction, applies the current rule, and preserves the authority and context behind the decision.

    Cash rounding is the first rule domain.

    Platform

    Compliance infrastructure

    Rules can converge, diverge, or change. The same architecture selects what governs and records why.

    Decision Engine

    Selects the governing rule, tests whether it applies, and returns the authorized transaction action.

    Compliance Engine

    Deterministic processing with dual-total receipts and audit-ready records.

    Evidence Engine

    Preserves the authority, rule version, transaction context, adjustment, and resulting cash settlement.

    Built for changing rules

    Encode the governing rule, not the coin.

    The penny may be the first transition. State amendments, federal legislation, effective dates, agency guidance, and future denomination changes can feed the same rule architecture without requiring transaction systems to start over.
