Trust and control integrity are foundational to financial infrastructure operating at global scale. To that end, Circle engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP to perform a SOC 1 Type 2 examination of the Circle Mint system. The accompanying report was issued on December 12, 2025.
SOC 1 controls examination report
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a SOC 1 examination reports on controls at a service organization that may be relevant to user entities’ internal control over financial reporting (ICFR). A Type 2 report evaluates whether those controls were designed appropriately and operated effectively throughout the specified examination period.
The examination covered control objectives related to transaction processing, system operations, logical access, change management, and data integrity. As part of this examination, technology and business process controls across the Circle Mint environment were tested. These controls address areas such as system access controls, transaction authorization and processing, reconciliations, monitoring activities, and change management procedures.
Financial reporting assurance, independently tested
Many of Circle’s customers and partners, including financial institutions and enterprise organizations, require SOC 1 Type 2 reports to support their financial reporting and SOX compliance requirements. Circle’s commitment to transparency supports customers in areas including:
- Evaluations of internal control over financial reporting
- SOX compliance and external audit requirements
- Third-party risk management programs
- Regulatory and financial statement audit inquiries
The result is greater clarity and confidence for organizations that rely on Circle Mint to support financial transaction processing and reporting workflows.
Circle’s mission is to raise global economic prosperity through the frictionless exchange of value. Our control environment reflects cross-functional collaboration across Finance, Compliance, Engineering, Security, IT, and Operations to support effective governance and financial integrity as adoption grows.
The engagement for Circle Mint’s 2025 SOC 1 Type 2 examination demonstrates Circle’s commitment to maintaining a control environment operating with the level of effectiveness expected by enterprises, auditors, and regulators.
Customers and partners who require access to the report can request it through their Circle contact.
