Where they differ

  • Staff trainingNoYes
  • Threshold transaction reportingYesPartial

9 further fields are unestablished for at least one of the two and are left out of the list above. A gap in our research is not a point against a product, and presenting it as one would score these two on our work rather than on theirs.

Every field, side by side

Reading a spec strip

  • Verifiedconfirmed on the provider’s own site
  • Partialpresent but limited or conditional
  • Absentthe product does not do it
  • Not establishedwe could not confirm either way

Each bar runs one segment per capability, in the same order on every board, so two providers compare by position. A hatched segment means the field is unfilled, not that the product lacks the capability — around half of all capability fields on this site are currently unestablished, and a blank would read as “no” and misrepresent a real business. Show all opens the full list in place.

AMLTranche: 14/24 verified.AML Guard: 13/24 verified. A higher count means more that we could confirm, not necessarily more that the product does.

Where each is weaker

AMLTranche

  • No staff training feature found anywhere on the site.
  • Does not lodge reports to AUSTRAC. SMR output is a formatted PDF pack for manual submission via AUSTRAC Online, not XML.
  • No named third-party integrations.
  • No broader transaction monitoring beyond the $10k cash TTR trigger.

AML Guard

  • Does not lodge reports to AUSTRAC and does not decide whether a report should be filed, stated in the vendor's own FAQ.
  • Does not provide compliance advice or case judgments.
  • Program design, independent review and legal interpretation explicitly listed as things the customer needs elsewhere.
  • GST treatment not stated anywhere on the pricing page.
