The Problem

High Minimums

Enterprise-focused platforms can carry minimum commitments or annual platform fees that suit high-volume firms better than low-volume ones.

The Solution

Simple Monthly Plans

ClearAML offers straightforward monthly subscriptions from $49/month with $8 per-check KYC (ID verification + screening bundled). No setup fees, no enterprise lock-in.

The Problem

Manual Verification

Wasting hours manually checking passports and searching Google for PEP/Sanctions matches.

The Solution

AI-Powered Automation

Automate the heavy lifting. Biometric ID verification and global screening happen in the background while you focus on billable work.

Everything you need to be compliant

Replace your fragmented spreadsheets with a purpose-built platform designed for Australian accounting firms.

AUSTRAC-Ready Reporting

Generate the exact documentation required for AUSTRAC reviews and independent audits with one click.

PEP & Sanctions Screening

Daily screening against global watchlists, updated every 24 hours for maximum accuracy.

Bundled Identity Checks
