How the workflow works

One click. Every step covered.

AUSTRAC-compliant onboarding is a multi-step process. IdentityCheck handles all 7 inside one system — no switching between platforms, no manual steps in between.

1
One-click trigger from your practice software
Click the IdentityCheck button inside any client record in your practice software. Works natively with XPM, Karbon, HubSpot, FYI, Ignition, Clio, and 100+ other platforms. No switching tabs. No data entry. Your staff already has it open.

2
Client notified by branded email or SMS
Your client receives a branded notification from your firm — your logo, your name. They click a link or scan a QR code to begin. If they don't complete within 3 days, IdentityCheck sends an automatic reminder. No chasing required.
3
Client intake & compliance questions
The client completes a customisable intake form capturing name, DOB, citizenship, source of funds, entity type, and consent — all on their own device. The form auto-redirects to the ID check on completion. No staff involvement required.
Customisable fields Pre-filled entity types Source of funds capture
4
Biometric identity check
The client verifies their identity entirely in-software — document authenticity check, passive liveness detection, and biometric face match. Accepts 240+ document types from 240+ countries. Average completion: under 1 minute. No manual data entry by staff at any point.
240+ countries Passive liveness Under 1 minute
5
Automated AML screening
ID data is OCR-extracted and immediately screened against global sanctions, PEP, and adverse media databases in real time. No manual lookup. No separate platform to log into. Results are surfaced directly in the client record.
Sanctions — 70+ lists / 30 min refresh PEP — 3,000+ sources / daily Adverse media — 15,000 sites / real-time
6
Prompted risk assessment
Your staff is notified to complete the risk assessment inside the client record. The assessment covers services provided, delivery model, complexity, risk factors, and monitoring frequency — completed with a 4-digit PIN. Structured, auditable, and stored against the client record automatically.
7
Dual record-keeping — automatically
Compliance data is saved in two places at once — satisfying AUSTRAC's dual record-keeping requirement. Your practice management system receives AML status, risk score, completed date, and a link to the full report. The IdentityCheck vault stores all personal data, ID images, screening results, and risk assessment responses for 7 years.

How IdentityCheck compares

The embedded approach vs. standalone AML tools

Most AML tools are designed to work alongside your practice software. IdentityCheck was built to live inside it — a fundamentally different approach that eliminates the friction of switching platforms.

A note on alternatives: There are a number of standalone AML tools in the market — some are strong on document collection, others on reporting, others on compliance documentation. The core difference with IdentityCheck is that it runs the complete workflow inside your existing practice management software, with no separate login and results written directly to the client record.

Client onboarding time

"Our client onboarding went from 60 minutes down to under 5. The whole process — ID verification, AML, the risk assessment — just happens inside Karbon. My staff love it because they don't have to learn anything new."

"For every dollar we put in, we're getting five to ten back in time saved. We were spending hours every week chasing ID documents by email. Now it's one click and it's done. I don't know why we waited so long."
