Where it is stronger

Capabilities verified here that fewer than half of the other products are verified on. Worked out from the board, not written by hand.

  • Ongoing monitoring triggered by designated service and risk1 of 16 others
  • Risk assessed per designated service2 of 16 others
  • Tipping-off controls (s123)3 of 16 others
  • Versioned AML program and CDD records4 of 16 others

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: Program obligations calendar (reviews, effectiveness, AMLCO reports, independent evaluation).Vendor states it gives dashboard alerts for the annual firm risk assessment review and the program review date, plus client review, training renewal and staff declaration due dates. No tracking found for AMLCO reports to the governing body or effectiveness checks. The independent evaluation schedule appears only as a compliance report section, with no alert described.
  • Partly meets the Tranche 2 measure: Escalation to AMLCO or manager with outcome recorded.Vendor states the SMR and incident register records the AMLCO's review date and outcome. The app is single-user and browser-local, and no routing or notification to the AMLCO is described.
  • Records are stored locally in the browser. No cloud, no server-side persistence, no multi-user sync.
  • Accepts no file uploads of any kind. No document storage, no attachments.
  • Cannot be reliably used on phones or tablets.
  • Vendor warns that Safari deletes site data after 7 days of inactivity and recommends Chrome.
  • Performs no verification or screening itself. Refers users to NameScan and records only the provider, date, result and reference ID.
  • Users must submit SMRs to AUSTRAC manually.

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.

Tranche 2 operations

  • Risk assessed per designated serviceYes

    Vendor states the firm risk assessment has guided sections for designated services and service risk, and auto-calculates a service risk rating.

  • Ongoing monitoring triggered by designated service and riskYes

    Vendor states that adding a new designated service to an existing client runs a risk impact assessment and flags any change to the client's risk rating. Client review frequency is set by risk rating.

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

    Vendor states it gives dashboard alerts for the annual firm risk assessment review and the program review date, plus client review, training renewal and staff declaration due dates. No tracking found for AMLCO reports to the governing body or effectiveness checks. The independent evaluation schedule appears only as a compliance report section, with no alert described.

  • Versioned AML program and CDD recordsYes

    Vendor states the AML/CTF program record keeps a version history, and every edit to a client CDD record keeps the previous version.

  • Escalation to AMLCO or manager with outcome recordedPartial

    Vendor states the SMR and incident register records the AMLCO's review date and outcome. The app is single-user and browser-local, and no routing or notification to the AMLCO is described.

  • Expired document alertsNot 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.

Where this came from

Structurally different from every other product in this directory: a compliance register, not a platform. It records what happened, when, who reviewed it and what was decided. It performs no verification, stores no documents, and runs entirely in the user's browser.

Free during beta, and the vendor is unusually forthcoming about the constraints: every limitation listed above is self-disclosed on their own site.

Material for a firm with a 7-year record-keeping obligation: browser storage is not durable, not backed up centrally, and not multi-user. The vendor itself flags the Safari data-deletion risk. That is a structural consideration a buyer should weigh, not a criticism of a free beta tool that is honest about what it is.

Is this your product?

You can correct a factual error, supply evidence for a field marked not established, or add detail. A limitation is corrected when it is wrong, and stays when it is accurate but unwelcome.
