warningWhy it matters

Why AML/CTF compliance is harder than it used to be

New reforms are bringing more businesses into the regime, AUSTRAC is enforcing the rules more actively, and manual checks struggle to keep up. Meeting your obligations now takes reliable data and a proper audit trail.

groups

More businesses must comply

Lawyers, accountants, real estate agents and precious-metal dealers are being brought into the AML/CTF regime, many for the first time.

balance

Penalties are real

AUSTRAC has issued large penalties to businesses with inadequate programs. A best-effort approach no longer holds up to review.

Manual checks fall behind

Spreadsheets and one-off searches miss changes. Customer risk shifts over time, so screening and monitoring need to run automatically.

quizFAQ

AML/CTF compliance questions

What is AML/CTF compliance?add
AML/CTF compliance means meeting Australia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing obligations under AUSTRAC — identifying and verifying customers, screening for risk, monitoring activity, and reporting suspicious matters. Our solution covers each of these with verified data and a clear audit trail.
What's the difference between CDD and ECDD?add
Customer Due Diligence (CDD) is the standard process of identifying and verifying a customer at onboarding. Enhanced CDD (ECDD) applies deeper scrutiny to higher-risk customers — for example PEPs or unusual activity — and captures additional evidence against the file.
Do you screen for PEPs and sanctions?add
Yes. We screen against global PEP, sanctions and regulatory watchlists, plus adverse media. Matches are surfaced with source detail and routed to your review queue, and you can re-screen your base on a schedule so new risk is caught as lists change.
Will this help with Tranche 2 obligations?add
Yes. We work with lawyers, accountants, real estate agents and high-value dealers being brought into the AML/CTF regime, helping them put a program in place — identity verification, screening and monitoring — without building it all in-house.
How does it integrate with our systems?add
Connect via our REST API to embed checks directly into your onboarding and operations, or use the secure browser-based portal. You can also bulk-load an existing customer base for screening and ongoing monitoring.
Is the data AUSTRAC aligned and secure?add
Our solution integrates verified Australian government-approved data sources and connects to the Document Verification Service (DVS). Global Data is ISO 27001 certified for information security and an approved data service broker.
