# AML Check
AML Verification is a feature of the [Astra Wallet](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot) that allows users to check any crypto address for unwanted connections or presence on sanction lists. The verification feature operates through the **AMLBot** service.
AML Verification helps identify unwanted connections or provides a report on the "cleanliness" of your address, which can be crucial for gaining access to white lists or participating in various projects. It also enables users to check any crypto address before interacting with it.
To access the AML Verification feature, log in to your **Wallet** and go to the **AML Check** section.
Review the information and cost of verifications. There are two types of verifications available: **general check** and **investigation**.
## Buying credits
To perform the check, you need to have so-called **credits** — this is a conditional currency that can be bought for USDT (BEP-20).
*\*don't forget about the fee, you need to have BNB (BEP-20) on your* [*Astra Wallet*](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot) *balance in addition to USDT.*
Click **Buy AML credits** if your USDT balance is sufficient.
If the balance is not enough, top up your wallet. You can find out how to top up your wallet in the [**Deposits**](https://docs.daomars.com/f.a.q/v2-new-mdao-telegram-wallet/wallet/deposits) section.
