Crypto address AML check
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is a check of a crypto address or transaction for links to fraud, darknet, stolen funds and sanctions. It reduces the risk of receiving "dirty" coins and getting funds frozen.
When to do it
- before receiving a large crypto amount;
- before exchanging crypto to cash/bank;
- if the counterparty is unknown.
How to check
An AML check is done via blockchain analysis services: you enter an address and get a risk report. An address analysis tool is available on BestChange and a number of other services.
