AML check cost ranges published by Australian vendors

AML check cost in Australia is not one range. Vendors publish per person, per entity, per seat, or per month, and those units do not add up to a single number.

Quick answer

Read the unit before the figure. A per-check price, a monthly seat, and a prepaid bundle are different offers. This page does not copy the numbers on easyAML, ClearAML, First AML, or AML Guard pages. FreeAML's public list is A$20 for KYC and A$40 for KYB, the firm suite is A$0, and the client pays.

People search “AML check cost Australia” when a buyer is trying to average the prices on several Australian vendor pages into one AML check cost. Checked against AUSTRAC's summary of Tranche 2 obligations on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. The easyAML note is easyAML pricing in Australia. ClearAML is ClearAML pricing. The sector map is /tranche-2.

The unit is the price

AML check cost Australia searches want a band, from a low figure to a high figure, that a principal can repeat. The band is false if one vendor sells a check and another sells a seat. AUSTRAC does not publish that band. The obligation is the program, and the price is whatever the firm and the client agree with a provider, in the unit that provider actually sells.

This page names easyAML, ClearAML, First AML, and AML Guard because buyers compare them. It does not reprint their amounts. Those amounts move, and a copied number on a blog goes stale. Use each vendor's own page.

  • Read the unit. Per person, per company, per month, and per bundle are not one cost.
  • Separate the firm fee from the check. A platform charge and a customer verification are different lines.
  • Do not average them. An average of unlike units is not a market range.
  • Use the live page. A figure in a comparison article is not the offer you would be billed.

What FreeAML actually publishes

FreeAML publishes two list prices, and the firm suite is A$0. A personal KYC check is A$20, and a company or trust KYB check is A$40. The firm emails the client a link and the client pays. Individuals are not folded into the company or trust price, so this is a per-check list rather than a blended range.

Where the cost page stops

This page explains why a single Australian range misleads. It is not the easyAML, ClearAML, First AML, or AML Guard price note. First AML is First AML pricing. AML Guard is AML Guard pricing.

Confirm FreeAML's live amounts on the pricing page before you repeat them. A blog can lag a change.

What the client pays

On FreeAML the firm suite is A$0. The firm emails the client a link. Verification is client-pays. On the public list a personal KYC check is A$20 and a company or trust KYB check is A$40. Use KYB when the customer is a company or a trust. FreeAML's list prices are per check, client-pays, and they are not a blended range with anyone else's offer. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not average vendor prices or quote another company's current fee.
