Know who you are dealing with.
For accountants, conveyancers, law firms, brokers, agents and corporate service providers in Australia who need to prove who they onboarded.
AML Direct helps businesses request consent, complete appropriate identity or business checks, review supporting evidence and maintain a clear due-diligence record in one place.
AML Direct provides verification and due-diligence tools. Your business remains responsible for reviewing the information and making its own customer-due-diligence decision.
Managed-pilot pricing. AML Direct issues an invoice manually after a completed check.
Returns a result. Then it is your problem.
A standalone verification result may not provide the evidence and activity history your team needs in one place.
Keeps the record, and the evidence behind it.
Consent-request history, configured check outcomes, supporting evidence and activity history, brought together for authorised portal review.
The record, kept in one place.
When your team needs to review what was checked and why, the information should be easy to find. Every check keeps its result, its consent-request history, the evidence behind it and a time-stamped activity history, retained in line with your agreed service settings and applicable recordkeeping requirements.

A managed path from request to review.
Request, consent, identity, screening, one result, then review. Every stage writes to the same case, so the record builds as the check runs.
Request a check
Choose a person or business check and say why. The request, the reason and who asked for it are stored with the case from the first click.
Consent
AML Direct sends the client a consent and verification request before the verification steps begin. The consent request sent time is recorded where available.
Identity
Document, liveness and face match, in one flow. Document type, issuing country and match result are written to the session, not just a pass or a fail.
Screening
Sanctions, PEP and adverse media, held if ambiguous. Potential matches requiring review are retained with the available outcome, so the decision can be explained later.
One result
The result, then each check with what was found. The same format every time, so your team reads it the same way every time.
Review the result
The outcome, the supporting evidence and the activity history are available together in your portal, so your team can review what was checked before making its own decision.
Where we can verify people and businesses.
Identity documents from most countries and territories are supported. Checks in Australia are based on the document itself, the biometric match to the person holding it, and screening - we do not match against Australian government records. We confirm support for the specific document and jurisdiction before you request a check.
Coverage and sources vary by document, jurisdiction and configured service. Ask AML Direct to confirm support for a specific request.
Business checks return the company record and its officers from the official register where available, screened. Beneficial ownership is a different matter: some registers publish it, and many - Australia among them - publish none, in which case owners are declared during the check. We confirm which applies to your jurisdiction before you request a check.
Australian identity documents are supported: the document is authenticated, the person is matched to it by liveness and face match, and the check is screened against sanctions, politically exposed person and adverse media lists. We do not match against Australian government records - a check here is document, biometric and screening based. We confirm document support for your use before you request a check. Business checks return the company record and its officers from the official register where available; Australia publishes no register of beneficial ownership, so owners are declared during the check. Where beneficial owners are declared and verification is required, AML Direct can request identity verification and configured screening for those individuals. Some structures - public shareholdings, complex trusts, nominee arrangements - may end with no beneficial owner identified through the workflow.
Identity verification is performed by our verification provider in the European Union (Ireland) - not the United States. Your record is encrypted in transit and at rest, is stored in Australia (Sydney), and is retained in line with your agreed service settings and applicable recordkeeping requirements. The application that serves it runs on Google Cloud in Singapore, and the emails we send you are delivered by our email provider from Japan.
Infrastructure
AML Direct runs on Google Cloud. Your records are held in Firestore, a Google Cloud service whose controls are independently audited and certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Our identity verification provider holds its own ISO/IEC 27001 certification. AML Direct itself holds no certification - the detail, with sources, is on the legal page.
AML Direct holds no certification of its own and does not claim one.
The company from the register. Declared owners checked.
A business check finds the company on the official register and returns its record - registered name, number, type and status. Your client then declares who owns and controls it. Australia keeps no public register of beneficial ownership, so that half is declared rather than extracted. Where beneficial owners are declared and verification is required, AML Direct can request identity verification and configured screening for those individuals. Some structures - public shareholdings, complex trusts, nominee arrangements - may end with no beneficial owner identified through the workflow at all; the record says plainly which part came from the register, which was declared, and what was left open.
One price per check. Portal access is included.
Every check includes authorised portal access to the available check outcome and its supporting evidence. Invoices are raised by hand after a check completes, so a check that never ran is not invoiced.
Pilot billing: AML Direct issues an invoice manually after a check is completed. Pricing is shown in Australian dollars. No GST is added while AML Direct is not registered for GST.
