BestChange Compliance
BestChange Now Requires AML — Are You Ready?
BestChange introduced AML compliance requirements for listed exchangers in April 2025. Non-compliant exchangers risk delisting and lost traffic. Screen USDT TRC-20 deposits before accepting funds.
What happens if you ignore this
BestChange is the largest exchanger aggregator in the CIS. Losing your listing means losing your primary traffic source.
Delisting Risk
BestChange is removing non-compliant exchangers. No AML screening = no listing = no traffic from the largest aggregator.
Regulatory Liability
Processing sanctioned funds without AML screening exposes you to regulatory action and potential criminal liability in your jurisdiction.
Frozen Assets
One OFAC-flagged USDT deposit can trigger a cascade: exchange freezes your account, bank flags your entity, months of paperwork.

How it works
01
Customer sends deposit address
Before you accept any crypto, paste the source wallet address into the Sanctuary Telegram bot or call the API endpoint.
02
Get a risk score with evidence
Sanctuary checks the address against OFAC sanctions, scam databases, mixer history, and community reports. You get a score from 0 (clean) to 100 (critical).
03
Accept or reject the deposit
Score below 33 — safe to accept. Score 33-66 — manual review recommended. Score above 66 — reject and protect your business.

Questions from BestChange exchangers
Is BestChange actually requiring AML?
Yes. BestChange introduced AML compliance requirements for listed exchangers starting April 2025. Exchangers without AML procedures risk being delisted from the aggregator.
Which chains do I need to screen?
At minimum, screen USDT TRC-20 — it accounts for the majority of BestChange exchanger volume. Sanctuary also covers ETH, BTC, SOL, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and other supported networks.
Can I use the Telegram bot instead of the API?
Yes. The Telegram bot is useful for manual first-pass review. For higher volume or automated screening, use the REST API starting at $199/month.
How do I prove compliance to BestChange?
Every Sanctuary check can produce a signed snapshot with a unique verification URL. Share it with counterparties, partners, or review teams as supporting evidence.
What if the API is down during a deposit?
Sanctuary can return a limited-confidence result when part of the evidence layer is unavailable. Configure fail-open or fail-closed handling on your side based on your risk appetite.
Do you store my customers' addresses?
Addresses in the intelligence database are pseudonymized before storage. Compliance records retain data as required by regulation. Even if the database leaked, attackers get pseudonymized identifiers, not wallet addresses.
Don't wait for the delisting notice
Start screening deposits through Telegram for manual review or the API for automated production flows.
