AML (Anti-Money Laundering) wallet screening tells you whether a crypto address is linked to sanctions, darknet markets, mixers, or ransomware. Exchanges require it. Regulators demand it. And with the right tool, it takes under 10 seconds — for free.
Any time you receive or send a significant crypto payment. Exchanges freeze accounts when they detect that incoming funds passed through blacklisted addresses — even if you had no idea. OTC desks, freelancers, merchants, and crypto-accepting businesses face the same risk. An AML check before transacting is the only way to confirm the funds are clean.
Regulators in the US, EU, UK, UAE, and 40+ other jurisdictions require VASPs (exchanges, wallets, OTC desks) to screen counterparty wallets as part of FATF Travel Rule compliance. Individual users are not legally required — but a failed check can result in exchange account freeze, withdrawal lock, or transaction reversal. The 8-second check is worth it.
The quickest way to run an AML check with no browser and no account. Works on any device that has Telegram installed.
In the Telegram search bar, type @cryptoamlscan_bot and tap the result. Available on iOS, Android, and desktop.
Tap the Start button or type /start. No email, no registration, no KYC required.
Copy the wallet address you want to screen (BTC, ETH, or TRX) and paste it into the chat message field. Hit send.
The bot replies with a full AML report: OFAC sanctions status, FATF typology exposure, darknet market contact, mixer interactions, ransomware ties, and a 0–100 composite risk score. The first check is free.
If you prefer a browser interface or need to share a result link with a colleague, use the CryptoAML.ai web checker. Paste the wallet address into the input field on the homepage. No login required. Our multi-source AML dataset powers both the web tool and the Telegram bot, so results are identical.
The web interface is useful for desktop users who work in browser-heavy workflows, or when you need a clean URL to share in a compliance report.
For businesses running 100+ checks per day, enterprise AML APIs offer bulk screening with JSON responses, webhook callbacks, and PDF report generation. Integration takes under an hour for a developer. The API is the right choice for exchanges, payment processors, and compliance platforms that need automated screening on every deposit or withdrawal.
Every check returns a score from 0 to 100. Here is how to read it:
Clean wallet. No direct or indirect links to sanctioned entities, darknet markets, or mixers. Safe to proceed with normal due diligence.
Review needed. The wallet has indirect exposure to flagged entities. Check the specific flag categories in the report before deciding whether to proceed.
Do not proceed. Direct or very close links to sanctions lists, darknet markets, ransomware, or mixers detected. File a Suspicious Activity Report if required by your jurisdiction.
A score of 31–69 doesn't mean refuse the transaction — it means investigate before proceeding. Pull the full report and look at which specific categories triggered the flag. Indirect exposure to a mixer two hops back is very different from a direct OFAC sanctions hit. Read the flag description, check the transaction graph if available, and document your findings. If you're operating as a VASP, this documentation is your compliance record.
For scores above 70, the standard advice is to decline the transaction and, if operating under AML obligations, file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with your relevant authority — FinCEN in the US, the NCA in the UK, or your national FIU. Keep the report output as evidence. Exchanges often request this documentation when reviewing frozen accounts.
Yes. @cryptoamlscan_bot offers 1 free check per account (not per address), with no registration. CryptoAML.ai is free for basic risk score and flag overview — also without creating an account.
8 seconds average via @cryptoamlscan_bot or CryptoAML.ai. The check runs against OFAC SDN, UN, UK, Australia, Switzerland, FATF, and darknet datasets simultaneously — the 8-second result includes all of them.
0–30: low risk — clean wallet, safe to proceed. 31–69: medium risk — review the specific flags before transacting. 70–100: high risk — do not proceed without thorough investigation and, if applicable, a regulatory report.
Your first check is free. No KYC. Result in 8 seconds.
