A simpler alternative to Jumio for Australian accountants.
Built into your workflow.

Jumio is a strong enterprise IDV platform — built for large financial institutions, fintech, and global enterprises. For an Australian accounting practice on Tranche 2, the enterprise contract minimums and multi-year commitments don't fit. IdentityCheck delivers comparable verification quality on month-to-month pricing, embedded in your practice software.

Why Australian accounting firms choose IdentityCheck over Jumio

Jumio is excellent for enterprise. For an SMB accounting practice, it's the wrong fit.

🔌

Embedded, not standalone

Runs inside XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, FYI, and 100+ other platforms. No separate AML login. No re-entering client data.

💰

Transparent pricing

Head-to-head: IdentityCheck vs Jumio

Jumio is a credible enterprise IDV product. The fit for SMB AU accountants is the issue — contract minimums, sales process, and pricing all assume enterprise resources.

Preparing for AUSTRAC Tranche 2

From 1 July 2026, accountants, lawyers, and real estate agents in Australia must comply with AUSTRAC's AML/CTF obligations. Compliance officer notification is required by 30 May 2026.

Instead of adding a separate AML platform — and a multi-week consulting engagement — IdentityCheck runs compliance checks inside the practice software your team already uses. AUSTRAC has indicated zero tolerance from 1 July; civil penalties extend to $33M for corporate non-compliance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between IdentityCheck and Jumio?

Jumio is an enterprise IDV platform built for large financial institutions, fintech at scale, and telcos. Their commercial model assumes multi-year contracts and enterprise volume commitments. IdentityCheck is purpose-built for Australian accounting firms — month-to-month pricing, no minimum contracts, AUSTRAC Tranche 2 aligned, embedded in your practice software.

Does IdentityCheck cover the full AUSTRAC AML/CTF requirements?

The technology layer, yes — KYC verification, AML screening (PEP, Sanctions, Adverse Media), risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, dual record-keeping (PMS plus 7-year vault), AUSTRAC-ready audit reports, and Know Your Employee screening. For firms also needing a full AML/CTF compliance program (policy, documentation, ongoing program governance), our partner network covers the program-structure side.

Will IdentityCheck be ready for Tranche 2 by 1 July 2026?

It is already in production with Tranche 2-bound firms. The Tranche 2 workflow has been live since early 2026, with the AUSTRAC enrolment process supported and the 30 May 2026 compliance officer notification deadline factored into onboarding guidance.

Which practice software does IdentityCheck integrate with?

Native integrations with XPM, Karbon, FYI, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, MYOB, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Greatsoft, Employment Hero, Zapier, and 100+ others. Jumio integrates via API and SDKs — implementation requires developer time and enterprise contracting. There is no native integration with practice management software (XPM, Karbon, FYI, HubSpot, etc.).

How does pricing compare?

IdentityCheck has published pricing (Starter, Professional, Business tiers) with per-check pricing of approximately $7 per check, month-to-month, no minimum commitment. Jumio uses sales-led enterprise pricing with multi-year contracts typical — not designed for SMB accounting practices.

Is IdentityCheck suitable for sole practitioners or small firms?

Yes. Self-service signup, no minimum commitment, free trial without a sales call. The Starter tier is purpose-built for sole practitioners and small accounting firms preparing for Tranche 2 without the budget for an enterprise consulting engagement.
