Seamlss is a great client onboarding tool — but it doesn't do full AML. IdentityCheck picks up where Seamlss stops: biometric ID verification, automated screening, risk assessment, and AUSTRAC-compliant record-keeping, all embedded inside XPM, Karbon, and HubSpot.

Seamlss does client onboarding well: data collection forms, XPM sync, engagement letters, and re-engagement tools. But AUSTRAC Tranche 2 compliance requires more than collecting information — it requires verifying it, screening against it, assessing risk from it, and keeping records of it for 7 years.

What's the difference between IdentityCheck and Seamlss?
Seamlss is a client onboarding and data collection tool — it collects intake information and syncs with XPM, but does not include biometric ID verification, automated AML screening, risk assessment, or AUSTRAC-compliant record-keeping. IdentityCheck covers the complete AML workflow end to end, all embedded inside XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, and 100+ other platforms.
Does Seamlss do full AML compliance for AUSTRAC Tranche 2?
Seamlss's AML Compliance Hub helps collect AML-relevant data, but does not include biometric ID verification, automated sanctions and PEP screening, or a prompted risk assessment workflow. For full AUSTRAC Tranche 2 compliance, firms need a complete workflow covering identity verification, screening, risk assessment, and 7-year record-keeping — all of which IdentityCheck provides.
Does IdentityCheck integrate with XPM like Seamlss does?
Yes. IdentityCheck integrates natively with XPM, Karbon, FYI Docs, HubSpot, Ignition, Clio, and 100+ other platforms. AML results are automatically written back to the client record — no switching tabs, no manual re-entry.
Can I use both Seamlss and IdentityCheck together?
Yes — some firms use Seamlss for engagement letters and general data collection, and IdentityCheck for the AML compliance workflow. However, many firms find that IdentityCheck's built-in intake and compliance questions cover what they need for AML purposes without an additional tool.
How long does it take to set up IdentityCheck?
Most firms are running live AML checks within the same day. Because IdentityCheck connects to your existing practice software, there's no parallel system to configure and no data to migrate.
