Where it is weaker

Recorded with the same care as the capabilities, and not softened. A comparison that only lists strengths is not a comparison.

  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Risk assessed per designated service.Vendor states every client is scored on four dimensions, one of which is the risk of the designated service being provided; the product docs describe profession-specific questionnaires per service line, and no separate risk rating per designated service is described.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Ongoing monitoring triggered by designated service and risk.Product docs set client review cycles by risk rating (Low 36, Medium 24, High 12 months) and marketing claims automatic re-assessment triggers on material changes; a re-review triggered by a new designated service is not described.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Program obligations calendar (reviews, effectiveness, AMLCO reports, independent evaluation).Product docs track the AML/CTF program review date (auto-added on publish, emailed 30 days before and when overdue), let officers add custom calendar events, remind about the 14-day AUSTRAC compliance-officer notification and include an Annual Compliance Report assistant; risk assessment review, governing-body reporting and independent evaluation dates are not tracked automatically.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Escalation to AMLCO or manager with outcome recorded.Product docs offer an Escalate decision on screening matches and automatic EDD escalation for high-risk assessments, but do not describe how an escalation is routed to the compliance officer or how its outcome is notified back.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Expired document alerts.Vendor homepage states the dashboard shows document expiry dates; no alert for expired documents or active engagements is described in the docs.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Reliance CDD requests sent and received.Vendor changelog describes Inter-Firm Connections that send a complete client compliance record to a connected firm; the vendor does not describe this as a reliance arrangement, and no inbound request workflow is described.
  • Verification charged per check on all tiers; only Professional and above include a monthly credit.

Capabilities

All 31 fields we track, shown whether or not we could establish them.

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.

Program

  • AML/CTF program buildNot established
  • Risk assessmentYes
  • Program maintenance and reviewNot established
  • Independent evaluation support (s84)Yes

    Stated as audit exports "ready for routine reviews, independent evaluations, or unannounced inspections" — support for an evaluation, not the evaluation itself.

  • Staff trainingYes

Customer

  • Customer due diligenceYes
  • Know your business (entity checks)Yes
  • Beneficial ownership and controlYes
  • Enhanced due diligenceNot established
  • Reliance arrangementsNot established

Identity

  • Electronic identity verificationYes
  • Biometric liveness and face matchYes
  • Document Verification Service accessYes

    Marketing states identity verification runs through the DVS; the terms of service describe it as reached "via an authorised gateway", meaning access is through a provider rather than direct.

Screening

  • PEP and sanctions screeningYes
  • Adverse media screeningNot established
  • Ongoing customer monitoringYes
  • Automated transaction monitoring (bank-style rules)Partial

    Product docs describe transactions logged manually (or per client) and auto-flagged against two configurable thresholds (cash default $10,000, any transaction default $50,000); pattern-based rules are not described.

Tranche 2 operations

  • Risk assessed per designated servicePartial

    Vendor states every client is scored on four dimensions, one of which is the risk of the designated service being provided; the product docs describe profession-specific questionnaires per service line, and no separate risk rating per designated service is described.

  • Ongoing monitoring triggered by designated service and riskPartial

    Product docs set client review cycles by risk rating (Low 36, Medium 24, High 12 months) and marketing claims automatic re-assessment triggers on material changes; a re-review triggered by a new designated service is not described.

  • Program obligations calendar (reviews, effectiveness, AMLCO reports, independent evaluation)Partial

    Product docs track the AML/CTF program review date (auto-added on publish, emailed 30 days before and when overdue), let officers add custom calendar events, remind about the 14-day AUSTRAC compliance-officer notification and include an Annual Compliance Report assistant; risk assessment review, governing-body reporting and independent evaluation dates are not tracked automatically.

  • Versioned AML program and CDD recordsYes

    Product docs state every published program version is kept (superseded versions move to a Decommissioned tab, retained 7 years), and each client's risk assessments are kept as a dated history with past assessments preserving the questions they were scored with.

  • Escalation to AMLCO or manager with outcome recordedPartial

    Product docs offer an Escalate decision on screening matches and automatic EDD escalation for high-risk assessments, but do not describe how an escalation is routed to the compliance officer or how its outcome is notified back.

    Vendor homepage states the dashboard shows document expiry dates; no alert for expired documents or active engagements is described in the docs.

  • Reliance CDD requests sent and receivedPartial

  • Threshold transaction reportingYes

Record

  • Evidence pack exportYes
  • Immutable audit logNot established

Integrations

None named on the provider’s own site. For a firm that wants AML to run inside its existing practice or property software, that is worth establishing directly before you buy.
