Trulioo offers global identity verification at enterprise scale — 5 billion people across 195 countries. For an Australian accounting practice on Tranche 2, that scale is overkill and the enterprise sales process is the wrong fit. IdentityCheck delivers verification at the scale you actually need (230+ countries), AUSTRAC-aligned, embedded in your practice software.
Enterprise scale is impressive. It's also overkill for an SMB accounting practice.
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.
Trulioo is genuinely impressive at enterprise scale. The fit for AU accountants on Tranche 2 is the issue.

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."
Trulioo is an enterprise global IDV platform serving multinational financial institutions, fintech, and large enterprises requiring multi-jurisdictional KYC. The implementation assumes enterprise resources. IdentityCheck is purpose-built for Australian accounting firms — sufficient global coverage (230+ countries), AUSTRAC Tranche 2 aligned out of the box, embedded in your practice software, priced for SMB firms.
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. Trulioo 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.).
IdentityCheck has published pricing (Starter, Professional, Business tiers) with per-check pricing of approximately $7 per check, month-to-month. Trulioo uses sales-led enterprise pricing — designed for multinational volumes that don't fit SMB accounting practices.
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.
