First AML is an enterprise platform built for large compliance teams. IdentityCheck is built for Australian accounting, legal, and real estate firms with 4–200 staff — the entire AML workflow embedded inside XPM, Karbon, and HubSpot, with transparent pricing and no quote-based sales process.
Watch: IdentityCheck in action
Full AML workflow inside Xero, Karbon & HubSpot
▶ See how IdentityCheck runs AML checks directly inside Xero Practice Manager, Karbon, and HubSpot
Both platforms handle AML compliance — but they're designed for very different firms. The right choice depends on your size, your existing software, and how complex your compliance operation needs to be.
Feature parity on the core AML workflow — but a very different experience for a 10–50 person accounting firm.

What's the difference between IdentityCheck and First AML?
First AML is an enterprise-grade AML platform designed for large organisations and dedicated compliance teams — it runs as a separate dashboard with its own login, case management, and quote-based pricing. IdentityCheck is purpose-built for Australian accounting, legal, and real estate firms with 4–200 staff: the entire AML workflow runs embedded inside XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, and 100+ other platforms, with transparent month-to-month pricing and same-day setup.
Does First AML integrate with XPM or Karbon?
First AML integrates primarily with Actionstep and 3E — legal practice management systems. It does not have a native integration with Xero Practice Manager (XPM) or Karbon. IdentityCheck integrates natively with both XPM and Karbon, as well as FYI Docs, HubSpot, Ignition, and 100+ other platforms used by Australian accounting firms.
How does First AML pricing compare to IdentityCheck?
First AML uses quote-based pricing with no public rates — you'll need to go through a sales process to get a number. IdentityCheck is month-to-month with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing and no annual lock-in. For Australian firms with 4–200 staff, IdentityCheck is purpose-sized and purpose-priced.
Is First AML suitable for small to mid-sized Australian accounting firms?
First AML is positioned for larger organisations with dedicated compliance teams — its feature set (case management, 200+ cases per analyst per month, complex entity structures) is built for high-volume operations. For Australian accounting firms preparing for Tranche 2, IdentityCheck is a better fit: simpler workflow, embedded in your existing software, and priced for smaller practices.
