Why we exist
Before ClearAML, most AML compliance tools were enterprise platforms designed for banks — expensive, complex, and built for a world of full-time compliance teams. Australian professionals who needed to verify a vendor or screen a client before settlement had no real alternative.
Agents were photocopying licences at listing presentations. Accountants were keeping client ID in email threads. Lawyers were scrambling to piece together a compliant process from scratch. The Tranche 2 reforms changed the legal obligations — we built ClearAML to change the experience.
We launched in 2025, based in Melbourne, with one goal: make AUSTRAC compliance fast, affordable, and genuinely audit-ready — for firms of any size.
What we built, and why it matters
ClearAML is not a white-labelled generic screening tool. Every feature is designed around how Australian regulated professionals actually work.
Thorough identity checks
Identity verification combines document checks with biometric face matching and liveness detection — and, for Australian documents where it is enabled for your firm, a check against government records through the Document Verification Service (DVS). Not just a name match.
Your records are stored in Australia
Client records, documents and compliance history are stored on Australian servers (Sydney) with AES-256 encryption. Identity and biometric checks are processed by a specialist verification provider overseas, and our Privacy Policy sets out where each category of data goes. This matters for Privacy Act compliance and for the trust your clients place in you.
Pricing that makes sense for professional firms
A full KYC check — document and biometric checks plus PEP/sanctions screening — costs $8 per identity document verified. There is no minimum spend on checks, and our standard prices are published on our pricing page. For real estate agents, the cost is easily recovered as a disbursement via a GST-compliant tax receipt.
Built around the actual legislation
The AML/CTF Act and AUSTRAC's Tranche 2 guidance are built into ClearAML's workflows — not bolted on. Your AML Program, staff training records, risk assessments, and audit logs are all structured to match what an AUSTRAC review or independent audit would expect to see.
What we commit to
These are not values statements. They are the specific commitments we hold ourselves to.
No upselling on fear
Accuracy over speed
Transparent about what we are
Ready when the rules change
