Frequently

asked questions

Can’t find the answer that you’re looking for? Get in touch with us.

AML Smart Guard offers local expertise and a fully managed AML as a service including an end‑to‑end Tranche 2 platform and risk operations not just a point tool or a one‑off consulting project.

Key differences:

Truly End-to-End: We deliver an holistic, integrated service. We combine AML/CTF Program development, AUSTRAC-aligned eLearning, customer risk assessment and identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, enhanced due diligence operational and reporting support – all in one integrated solution incl. operational services for triage, and remediation support.
Bank-Grade Controls without Bank-Level Complexity: Our platform is powered by LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a global leader in financial crime and identity technology. That means advanced identity verification, data matching and transaction monitoring, delivering “bank-style” oversight without the associated cost or infrastructure burden.
Your Full-Service Compliance Partner: We won’t disappear after implementation. Our AML/CTF experts and operations team will support you with alert triage, reporting guidance and ongoing program refinement, helping you stay in control and aligned as AUSTRAC expectations evolve.
Designed for Tranche 2: Our workflows, templates and risk models are built specifically for property & real estate, legal & advisory, accounting & corp services, funds & trustees, high‑value dealers, pubs & clubs, and digital‑asset/payment firms, mapped directly to AUSTRAC’s new guidance.

Look for a solution that helps deliver your end-to-end AML / KYC compliance requirements every day – not one that just ticks a box. Essentials include.

1. AUSTRAC alignment, not generic templates

Your AML/KYC Program, policies and procedures should map to the AML/CTF Act, Rules and sector-specific guidance with language and workflows tailored to reflect how your industry and business operates, and the designated services you provide.

2. End-to-End Coverage

Your AML platform and solution must cover the full compliance lifecycle: risk assessment, program setup, CDD and EDD, transaction monitoring, record-keeping and reporting — not just ID checks or screening. Some solutions do not offer ongoing transaction monitoring which could present a compliance gap and result in fines or other regulator action.

3. Risk-Based and Configurable

You should be able to tailor risk ratings, red flags and workflows to your industry, services, customer types and jurisdictions in line with your own ML/TF policies and risk assessment.

4. Embedded in Your Workflow

Strong integration with your CRM, practice management or transaction systems ensures AML steps sit inside normal operations without double handling or re-keying.

5. Audit-Ready by Design

The system should automatically capture and store actions, decisions, retain records for at least seven years and generate regulator-ready reports if AUSTRAC reviews you.

6. Ongoing Local Support

AML obligations are complex and will continue to evolve. Select a provider with Australian expertise who can help you update your AML program and setting, refine controls and respond confidently to regulatory change.

7. Scalable, Transparent Pricing

Look for predictable subscription pricing that scales with your business. If considering transaction-based pricing, ensure to assess and understand your anticipated screening and transaction volumes as these models can become very expensive e.g., one property sale will usually attract 4 x KYC screens, 2 per vendor and 2 per purchaser (property held in joint names). Also, be aware of any up-front and one-off charges.

AML Smart Guard is not just a technology platform, we are a full-service AML compliance partner. Our pricing is structured as a simple, scalable monthly subscription that integrates expert advisory, practical implementation, enterprise-grade technology and ongoing compliance support into one predictable cost. No compliance gaps. No upfront fees. No surprise charges.
