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 performing due dilligence 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.
Most AML check services require registration or are outright unaccessible to regular users. We encourage everyone to check the risk of their funds and be aware that they are transacting in a transparent blockchain.
We believe that not only big companies should have information regarding the risk of funds. This information should be available to the regular user, who should also be able to check it with privacy.

Checking an address is pretty straightforward: you are checking the funds that are located in a particular crypto address at the moment of the check.
Checking a transaction hash means that you will check the specific funds that were moving to one of the addresses involved in the transaction. Since some transactions have many outputs, you are asked to confirm which of the addresses involved is the one you are interested in. Usually it's best checking transactions, as it catches the risk of the exact funds you're interested in.

You can check your Key's history at the AML Dashboard. For ease of use, if you are logged in, you'll have a Key associated with your profile and won't need to provide it everytime. If you want to use a different Key simply log out and you'll have the freedom to use as many different Keys as you desire.
Trocador never uses your AML Check history for any analysis or statistics. We also don't store these checks, everytime you access the dashboard they're fetched directly from the AML Check provider.
