USDTBanList review

Web app · Web · Telegram · API

Verdict. The quickest way to see whether a USDT address on TRON or Ethereum is already frozen by Tether or appears on sanctions lists, plus a 0–100 score — free and without signup. It covers only those two networks and does not say who operates it.

Use with care. The operator is anonymous: no company is named anywhere on the site. Paid checks run on a prepaid USDT balance, and its user agreement has no refund terms. The free check needs only an address; we found no reports of fraud. Don’t top up more than you plan to use. User agreement (PDF) · How paid checks work

Who runs it

The operator is not named on the pages we read. That does not make the service a scam, but it means nobody identifiable stands behind the report. It names its data sources.

Is USDTBanList legit? Official links and fakes

USDTBanList does not name its operator on the pages we read. 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. Look-alike sites and bots using its name do exist, so open it only from its official website. The real service only needs a public address — anything asking for a seed phrase, a wallet connection or a signature is fake.

Scammers copy AML brands with look-alike sites and Telegram bots. Open a service only from its official website, never connect a wallet or sign a transaction to “check” it, and ignore anyone who offers to recover lost crypto in its name. Live list of fake AML checkers

FAQ

What is the difference between a blacklist check and an AML check?

A blacklist check tells you whether the issuer has already frozen the address. An AML check looks at where its funds came from. USDTBanList shows both.

Does USDTBanList 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 USDTBanList 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.
