How to Conduct a Preliminary AML Address Check
A preliminary AML check helps assess the risk level of a cryptocurrency address and identify possible links to mixers, darknet services, hacks, fraud, or sanctioned addresses. You can perform a check of a crypto address or transaction in advance, before sending funds. The process takes only a few minutes and helps reduce potential risks.
Step 1. Go to the AML Check Page
Open the AML check page.
Step 2. Enter the Data for Verification
In the check field, enter the cryptocurrency address from which the funds will be sent and sеlect the corresponding crypto asset for verification.
Step 3. Choose an Analyzer
sеlect one of the available paid AML checks.
We recommend using GetBlock, as this service provides a clear report with a final Risk Score and detailed explanations of risk factors.
Step 4. Review the Results
After the check is completed, you will receive:
- the overall AML risk level (Risk Score);
- a list of identified risk categories;
- a brief description of the factors that affected the result.
Step 5. Make a Decision on the Exchange
If the risk level is low, you can safely proceed with the exchange.
If the overall Risk Score exceeds 60% and high-risk flags are present, the funds may be temporarily suspended as part of an AML review, and the user may be asked to provide additional information in accordance with AML requirements.
If the risk level is medium or high, it is recommended to refrain from sending funds or to contact support in advance to clarify possible consequences.
The results of the preliminary check can also be provided to the exchange operator for risk assessment before creating an order.
Detailed information about AML rules can be found in the relevant section of the website.
