LiveSign is a credible AU-built signing platform with VOI as a useful feature. But signing-with-VOI isn't a complete AUSTRAC Tranche 2 program. IdentityCheck delivers the full AML workflow — biometric ID, sanctions and PEP screening, risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, and 7-year audit reporting — embedded inside XPM, Karbon, FYI, and HubSpot. Many firms run both: LiveSign for engagement signing, IdentityCheck for the actual compliance work.
LiveSign is a signing tool with VOI. IdentityCheck is the AML platform that satisfies Tranche 2.
Runs inside XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, FYI, and 100+ other platforms. No separate AML login. No re-entering client data.
Published tiers, month-to-month, no consultation required to see the price. No bundled services you didn't ask for.
Sign up, connect your practice software, run your first check the same day. No multi-week implementation engagement.
Built specifically for AU accountants and legal firms preparing for AUSTRAC Tranche 2. Not a global firm with an Australian practice.
Different categories, occasional overlap. LiveSign owns the signing UX; IdentityCheck owns the AML workflow. The question is whether you need a Tranche 2 platform or just a signing tool.

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.

"Onboarding dropped from over an hour to under five minutes. The team didn't need any retraining — it's right there in the software they already use."
"We estimate at least a 5–10× ROI from IdentityCheck. The compliance work that used to swallow days now runs in the background."
"It's been a well-oiled machine. Our clients have a smoother experience and we have a cleaner audit trail."
LiveSign is an e-signature platform first, with VOI as an add-on for signing flows that need verified identity. IdentityCheck is an AML-first platform built around the full AUSTRAC Tranche 2 obligation — biometric ID, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media checks, prompted risk assessment, ongoing monitoring, and audit-ready reporting. If you need signing, LiveSign is excellent for that. If you need AUSTRAC Tranche 2 compliance, IdentityCheck is built for it.
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.
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.
Native integrations with XPM, Karbon, FYI, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, MYOB, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Greatsoft, Employment Hero, Zapier, and 100+ others. LiveSign integrates with some practice software for signing workflows. IdentityCheck has 100+ native integrations including XPM, Karbon, FYI, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, and Monday.com — verifications happen alongside the client record, not as a separate signing flow.
Both products have transparent published pricing. IdentityCheck starts at approximately $30/month with a free trial, scaling with check volume. LiveSign's pricing covers signing volume primarily, with per-VOI fees for the verification step — at higher volumes, the VOI charges add up faster than IdentityCheck's per-check rates.
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.
No setup fees. No lock-in. Live the same day. Built for Australian firms.
