PublicAML review

Web app · Web · Telegram · API

Verdict. Free, no account, and it checks both addresses and transaction hashes on the four networks where most USDT moves. The trade-off: its legal pages name no operator, and its methodology describes data sources only by type (sanctions lists, issuers, vendor labels, community reports), not by provider — so treat it as a quick first look, not proof for an exchange.

Use with care. A new service with a thin public footprint. Its homepage says it is “trusted by millions”, which we could not verify, and its terms and privacy policy name no legal entity — only its press page names PublicAML Foundation, a non-profit it says is based in Denver, Colorado. We found no reports of fraud; use it for a quick free look, not as proof. Press page · Privacy policy

Who runs it

Named only on its press page: PublicAML Foundation, which it describes as a non-profit based in Denver, Colorado. Its terms and privacy policy name no legal entity. Without an entity in its terms, nobody is clearly accountable for the report. Its data sources are not disclosed.

Is PublicAML legit? Official links and fakes

PublicAML’s operator is named only on its press page, not in its terms. Our scam vetting of 13 Oct 2026 — operator, regulator lists, security reports, complaints and whether it asks for a wallet connection — found no reports of fraud. We still add a “use with care” note: see the top of this review. Status at our automatic check of 4 Nov 2026: working. The real service only needs a public address — anything asking for a seed phrase, a wallet connection or a signature is fake.

FAQ

Is PublicAML really free?

Its USDT checker says “Free · No account required”. Usage limits are not published.

Who runs PublicAML?

Its press page names PublicAML Foundation, which it describes as a non-profit based in Denver, Colorado, and its founder. Its terms and privacy policy name no legal entity, so we do not count the operator as identified.

Does PublicAML ask for a seed phrase?

It should not, and a real AML check never needs one — only a public address. Any bot or site using this name that asks for a seed phrase or a wallet connection is fake.

Can PublicAML guarantee my exchange won’t freeze funds?

No service can. Exchanges and stablecoin issuers use their own data and rules. A low score lowers the risk; it is not a guarantee.

A high risk score is a reason to look closer, not proof of a crime. A low score does not guarantee that an exchange or issuer will not freeze funds.
