AMLHow to check BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20) for AML and sanctions
Updated: 25 August 2026 · sources: OFAC, Chainalysis, TRM, Tether/Circle blacklists
Before you accept BNB or BEP-20 tokens, screen the sender. BNB Smart Chain’s low fees make it a hotspot for honeypots, fake tokens and rug pulls — and tainted BNB can get your exchange deposit frozen.
BSC concentrates a specific risk: cheap deployment means a flood of honeypot contracts, copycat tokens and rug pulls, plus the usual wallet-drainers. Stolen or scam-linked BNB is often swapped and moved within minutes. If the BNB you receive traces back to a scam, a drainer or a sanctioned address, a compliant exchange can flag it.

What we check for BNB
OFAC sanctions, scam / drainer / honeypot labels, the TRM risk score and the graph — a consensus of independent sources, not one database. High risk means a direct or near link to a scam cluster, a drainer or a sanctioned address.
Why it matters for P2P and OTC
For P2P and OTC on BSC a quick check pays off: accept BNB from a flagged wallet and your exchange deposit can be held on the first withdrawal.
FAQ
Do I need to connect a wallet?
No. A public address or a transaction hash is enough — never a seed phrase or a wallet connection. We never touch your funds.
Can you check BEP-20 tokens too, not just BNB?
Yes. We screen the BSC address and its exposure — sanctions, scam and drainer links — whether it holds native BNB or BEP-20 tokens.
Can I check by transaction hash?
Yes. We resolve the sender from the hash (EVM / TRON / BTC / XRP) and screen that address.
