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 Trocador strongly endorses.
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.

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.
