AML Risk Check F.A.Q.
-
Anti-Money Laundering checks are an important part of the cryptocurrency environment. While we strongly support the usage of anonymous and fungible crypto such as Monero, most coins (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) are traceable, which can create a privacy and compliance nightmare for users. When transacting with others using traceable coins it is important to perform due diligence with the funds received. If users don't check the funds others send them, they might have those funds blocked later when transferring to exchanges or using them at services with compliance requirements.
These AML checks provide a report about the health of the funds according to anti-money laundering parameters, such as the percentage of the amount involved in scams, dark markets, illicit activities, sanctioned entities, stolen funds, etc. We recommend users to avoid interacting with these tainted funds, that's why AML checks are so important. AML checks also indirectly help return stolen funds to their rightful owners, which is something we strongly endorse.
Most AML-check services require significant volumes, making them outright inaccessible to regular users and small vendors. We encourage anyone who deals in transparent cryptos to incorporate AML checks as part of a robust compliance process.
We believe that not only big companies should have information regarding the risk of funds. This information should be available to the regular user as well.
