IdentityCheck vs EasyAML

EasyAML is a standalone platform — you log in separately, re-enter client data, then download and re-upload results back to your practice software. IdentityCheck runs the entire process inside the software you already use.

How the workflow works

AUSTRAC-compliant onboarding is a multi-step process. IdentityCheck handles all of it inside one system — no switching between platforms, no manual steps in between.

1
One-click trigger from your practice software

Tick the AML Command checkbox inside the client record in XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, or any of 100+ supported platforms. No extra tabs. No data entry. The process starts from the client file your team already has open.

XPMKarbonHubSpotFYIClioIgnition100+ more
2
Client notified by branded email or SMS

Your client receives a branded notification with your firm's logo and reply-to address. They click a link on their phone (or desktop/QR code) — no app download required. Auto-reminder sent after 3 days if not completed.

3
Client intake & compliance questions

The client completes a customisable intake form capturing name, DOB, contact details, citizenship and tax residency, occupation, source of funds/wealth, entity type, and consent. Auto-redirects to the ID check on completion.

Customisable fieldsProposal / E-sig integrationRecord creation option
4
Biometric ID check

The client completes a secure biometric identity verification in under a minute — document authenticity check, passive liveness detection, and selfie match. Accepts government-issued ID from 240+ countries. No manual data entry by your team.

Automated AML screening

OCR extracts name and DOB from the ID document and immediately runs real-time checks across three screening layers — all without your team lifting a finger.

Sanctions — 70+ lists, updated every 30 minPEP — 3,000+ sources, updated dailyAdverse media — 15,000 sites, real-time
6
Prompted risk assessment

Your team receives an email notification with the ID result and screening outcome. A link prompts them to complete the risk assessment inside the client record — secured by a 4-digit staff PIN. The assessment covers services provided, delivery model, complexity, expected transaction types, risk factor scoring, and monitoring frequency.

Dual record-keeping — automatically

Compliance data is saved in two places simultaneously. Your practice management system receives the operational summary. The IdentityCheck secure vault holds the full personal data record — retained for 7 years to meet AUSTRAC requirements.
