AML questionnaire - Anchorage Digital

External transfers and withdrawals carry an AML questionnaire describing the originator, destination, and recipient. Internal movements don’t need it. Use the key that matches your operation:

Operation	Key
External transfer API	`transferAmlQuestionnaire`
Withdrawal API	`withdrawalAmlQuestionnaire`

All fields have a 256-character maximum. Some fields are conditional on others.

How to fill it

1. destinationType — Where the destination is hosted.

FINANCIAL_INSTITUTION — A third party holds the key (for example, an exchange). Requires institutionName and institutionCountry.
SELFHOSTED_WALLET — The owner holds the key. Requires selfhostedDescription.

2. recipientType — Who receives the funds.

DESTINATION_INSTITUTION — The financial institution named in institutionName.
MY_ORGANIZATION — Your own organization.
PERSON — Requires recipientFirstName, recipientLastName, and recipientCountry.
ENTITY — Requires recipientFullName and recipientCountry.

3. originatorType — Who initiated the move.

MY_ORGANIZATION — Your API key initiated the move and assets aren’t being moved on behalf of a client.
MY_CLIENT — Your key is acting as a financial institution on a client’s behalf. The originator address fields are then required.

4. purpose — TRADING_SETTLEMENT, LENDING, INVESTMENT, EXPENSES, FEE_PAYMENT, GRANT_PAYMENT, PRIZE_AWARD, GIFT, REIMBURSEMENT, REBALANCE, or INTRA_COMPANY.

Reduced AML for trusted destinations

If the destination is a trusted destination that already carries AML details, set useTrustedDestinationAml: true and provide only originatorType and purpose. The rest is inherited.

"withdrawalAmlQuestionnaire": {
  "useTrustedDestinationAml": true,
  "originatorType": "MY_ORGANIZATION",
  "purpose": "INVESTMENT"
}
