AML/CTF reforms
Since 1 July 2026, firms providing services caught by AUSTRAC's AML/CTF regime have obligations to meet. For them, customer due diligence is now part of taking on a client.
ClientRelay gives you the checks, the workflow and the records. Your compliance decisions — and your AML/CTF program — stay yours.
From a company name to every beneficial owner verified, in one flow
- 01
Send onboarding
One click from the client record. Your client gets an email from your address and enters their entity details and relationships through a secure link.
- 02
Verify the entity
Confirm registration, status, directors and addresses with ASIC and the ABR, then trace ownership to the ultimate beneficial owners.
- 03
Verify the people
Send each director, owner or contact an ID request. They verify on their phone with a licence or passport; you get eKYC, DVS and PEP & sanctions results.
- 04
Keep the evidence
A downloadable report for each person, with sources, timestamps and a risk rating — on the client’s record, ready when you need to show your work.
KYC every client
Your whole client book, verified in one run.
Most AML tools assume you onboard clients one at a time. ClientRelay lets you select hundreds of existing clients and entities and send them all through verification at once — in days, not months.

Companies & trusts
Your clients are structures, not just people.
The hard part of due diligence for accountants is working out who’s behind the company and the trust. ClientRelay verifies clients and their entities together.
- ASIC company verification — registration, status, office holders and address history.
- Multi-level UBO reports that trace ownership through intermediate companies to the real owners.
- Trust deed analysis — upload the deed and the trustees, beneficiaries and other parties are pulled out for you.
- Every person found becomes a contact you can send an ID request to in one click.

The checks you need, run to the level of risk.
A standard check for most clients, with stronger options for higher-risk or overseas clients.
Electronic KYC
Name, date of birth and address matched against Australian identity data sources.
Government ID (DVS)
Licence or passport confirmed through the Document Verification Service.
PEP & sanctions
Politically exposed persons and sanctions lists, with possible matches shown for your review.
Biometric & liveness
A selfie or short video compared to the ID, confirming the person is really there.
Adverse media & watchlists
Negative news and watchlist screening when the risk calls for it.
Overseas clients
International document checks and VEVO visa entitlement checks.
Records
Show your work, without assembling it.
Every check is recorded against the client and the person, and the report is a download away. Your audit trail logs who sent what, and when.
- You make the call. Possible PEP or sanctions matches are surfaced with their detail for your review — not auto-decided.
- Ongoing monitoring. Keep watching verified clients for PEP and sanctions changes, and businesses for changes to their details and ownership.
- Status that follows the person. A verified tick shows wherever they appear — on every entity, proposal and form.

AML program tools — in development
Tools to build and run your AML/CTF program in ClientRelay, including the forms you’ll need, are on the way.
Does using ClientRelay make my practice compliant?
No tool can do that on its own. ClientRelay runs the checks, collects the information and keeps the records that support your customer due diligence. Your AML/CTF program, your risk assessment and your decisions about each client remain your responsibility.
What does my client need to verify their identity?
Usually an Australian driver’s licence or passport and their phone. Clients with overseas documents can be verified with an international document check.
Can I verify companies and trusts?
Yes. Verify companies against ASIC and the ABR, trace beneficial ownership through multiple levels, and extract the parties from a trust deed. Then verify each person you find.
What happens if there's a PEP or sanctions match?
Possible matches are shown with their details so you can review them and decide. Nothing is decided for you.
Is there a subscription for checks?
No. Onboarding flows are unlimited on every plan, and you only pay for the checks you run.
Can I verify my existing clients in bulk?
Yes. Select multiple clients and entities and send them through verification in a single run, then track completion on one dashboard. See how to KYC every client.
How do your prices compare?
A standard individual client costs about $5.50 to verify and screen, with no platform fee. See the full comparison against Australia’s leading AML/KYC tools.
Who runs the checks?
Checks are run by our verification partner, Admiin, connected directly to ClientRelay. You and your clients only ever use ClientRelay — there’s nothing else to sign up to or log in to.
Make due diligence part of saying yes to a client.
Import your Lodgeit clients, verify your whole book in one run, and pay only for the checks you run.
