# What is ‘Source of Funds’ and why does RockWallet require it?
## Understand what ‘Source of Funds’ means and how it helps keep transactions secure and compliant.
Your Source of Funds refers to where the money you use to buy or trade digital assets in RockWallet originally comes from, for example, your salary, savings, or investment income.
RockWallet is required by law to confirm this information to meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and other regulatory obligations. This process helps prevent financial crime, ensures compliance with global regulations, and protects both you and the wider crypto ecosystem.
Providing accurate Source of Funds information is a standard part of secure account verification, and it helps keep RockWallet a safe, trusted place to buy, store, and swap digital assets.
