How users see it
AML checks can appear through KYC verification, transaction monitoring, withdrawal reviews or source-of-funds questions.
Why it matters
AML requirements affect exchange access, account reviews, crypto cards and fiat on-ramps.
Common mistake
Do not treat AML in crypto as a universal rule. Exchanges, wallets and card apps may use the same term differently, especially around limits, fees, networks and account restrictions.
User action
Before relying on this term, check the provider's official help page, fee schedule or product terms. If funds are involved, test with a small amount first and keep a record of the transaction or setting.
