Australian business hours support versus a chatbot
Australian business hours support means a person can look at a stalled check while your office is open. A chatbot that repeats a help page is not that support.
Quick answer
A Friday settlement in a suburban agency cannot wait on a script, so ask who answers during Australian business hours and whether that person can see the file. A chatbot can point at an article, and it cannot tell you to pause the matter. The firm suite is A$0 and does not include a helpdesk. The client pays the check.
People search “AML software Australian support” when a suburban agency has a settlement this afternoon and the only reply is an automated article. Checked against AUSTRAC's obligations and compliance page on 4 October 2026. This is general information, not legal advice. This page does not reproduce that guidance. What belongs in the tool itself is what a free AML tool should include. The sector map is /tranche-2.
A person who can see the file
AML software Australian support is a buying question, and it is easy to score the wrong thing. A chatbot can be awake at midnight and still be useless at 3pm in Perth, when the settlement room is waiting on a failed match. A person during Australian business hours is useful only if they can see the file you are asking about.
The obligation does not move to the vendor. AUSTRAC still looks at the reporting entity. If the check is unfinished, the firm pauses the designated service. A polite script does not change that.
- Name the hours. Ask which clock the vendor uses. Australian business hours are the hours your office is open, not a night shift in another country.
- Ask who sees the file. A person who cannot open the matter can only reread the help page. That is the same job as the chatbot.
- Separate support from the role. The compliance officer decides whether the service waits. Vendor support does not hold that role.
- Do not buy a chat window. A widget on the screen is not a term in the contract. Write down who answers, and on which days.

Where the support page stops
This page is the support question. It is not a price table. What other products publish as a price sits on easyAML pricing in Australia. FreeAML's public list is a personal KYC check at A$20 and a company or trust KYB check at A$40, paid by the client.
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. A person who answers during Australian business hours is not included in the firm suite. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. FreeAML does not staff a helpdesk or decide whether your settlement can proceed.
