AML/CTF Compliance Software for Conveyancers

Purpose-built AML/CTF compliance for Australian conveyancing firms — KYC verification, risk assessments, AML programs, and AUSTRAC reporting in one dashboard.

Which conveyancing services trigger AML/CTF obligations?

Conveyancers acting on behalf of clients in property transactions are clearly in scope for Tranche 2. If you act on property settlements, you are almost certainly a reporting entity.

✓ Managing client bank accounts

If you operate or have authority over a client's bank account, this is a designated service.

✓ Handling client funds

Receiving, holding, or transferring money on behalf of clients triggers Tranche 2 obligations.

✓ Company / trust bookkeeping

Maintaining financial records for a company or trust where you have significant access or authority.

✓ Payroll management

Running payroll where you access and disburse funds on a client's behalf may be in scope.

Questions conveyancers ask us most

CompliDesk's identity verification uses biometric and document-based checks consistent with the standard of identity verification conveyancers rely on for ARNECC's Verification of Identity (VOI) standard under the Model Participation Rules. We recommend confirming the specific evidentiary requirements with your state's Land Registry, since VOI and AML/CTF verification serve related but distinct purposes.

Generally yes — if you're providing a designated service to both parties in a transaction (which is common in conveyancing), each client relationship you hold an obligation for needs its own KYC verification and risk assessment. CompliDesk lets you run and track both sides of a transaction from the one client file.

Most straightforward residential settlements between individual Australian buyers and sellers sit at low-to-medium inherent risk. Risk rises with cash-heavy settlements, overseas parties, complex trust or company purchasers, or unusually rapid on-sales. CompliDesk's risk engine calculates this automatically from the client type, transaction details, and geography you enter — so you're not guessing at a risk rating.

Biometric identity verification typically completes in under a minute once the client uploads their ID and takes a selfie via the secure link CompliDesk sends them. For time-pressured settlements, this is significantly faster than requesting certified copies or booking an in-person JP appointment.
