Annature Alternative for Full AML Compliance | IdentityCheck

Beyond Annature eSigning: Full AML Compliance
Built Into Your Workflow.

Annature is excellent for eSigning and TPB identity verification. But AUSTRAC Tranche 2 requires more than a document signature and an ID check — it requires screening, risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, and 7-year record-keeping. IdentityCheck covers the complete AML workflow, embedded inside XPM, Karbon, and HubSpot.

  • Full AML workflow — not just eSigning + ID check
  • Automated sanctions, PEP & adverse media screening
  • Prompted risk assessment inside your practice software
  • Dual record-keeping for 7-year AUSTRAC compliance
  • Works alongside Annature — or replaces the ID verification step entirely

IdentityCheck vs Annature

Annature solves eSigning and TPB identity verification well. IdentityCheck solves AUSTRAC AML compliance. Here's how the two compare on what Tranche 2 actually requires.

Important distinction: Annature's identity verification meets Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) requirements for Proof of Identity. AUSTRAC Tranche 2 AML compliance requires additional steps — automated screening, structured risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, and 7-year record retention — that Annature does not currently provide.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between IdentityCheck and Annature?

Annature is primarily an eSignature platform with TPB identity verification and an optional AML screening add-on. It does not include a risk assessment workflow, ongoing monitoring, or AUSTRAC-compliant 7-year record-keeping. IdentityCheck covers the complete AUSTRAC AML workflow — intake, biometric ID, automated screening, risk assessment, and dual record-keeping — all embedded inside XPM, Karbon, and HubSpot.

Does Annature do full AUSTRAC AML compliance?

Annature handles TPB identity verification and offers AML screening as an add-on. It does not include structured risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, or 7-year AUSTRAC record retention. For full Tranche 2 compliance, firms need IdentityCheck.
