Smokeball AML: what the practice tie-in does
Smokeball AML is the practice tie-in to InfoTrack. The firm still decides the file. If you are not staying in that pair, the check can be client-pays.
Quick answer
Smokeball AML, on the public pages, is a practice-management tie-in to InfoTrack’s Compliance Centre. You open that Centre from a matter, order the check through InfoTrack, and the result comes back into the Centre. Smokeball says it integrates the tool and does not develop it. If the firm is not staying inside that pair, FreeAML is an A$0 firm suite and verification is client-pays by email.
A search for “smokeball aml” is a buyer question from a firm that already runs matters in Smokeball: what did the practice tie-in actually add? Checked against Smokeball’s note on the new AML features, the support note on Tranche 2 changes, and how the Compliance Centre is opened from a matter on 2 October 2026. This is general information about those public descriptions. It is not legal advice, and it is not their product. This page does not reproduce their screens or help steps. Whether a file is in the regime is /tranche-2.
What the tie-in does
The public description is a bridge, not a second statute. Smokeball stays the matter system. InfoTrack stays the AML workflow. The firm still decides the file.
What the public Smokeball pages describe. Confirm the live help articles before you buy. This table does not reproduce those articles.
| What a partner sees | Whose product it is | What the firm still owns |
|---|---|---|
| AML checks ordered from the matter, through InfoTrack | InfoTrack’s check. Smokeball is the door | Whether this matter is a designated service |
| Results land in the InfoTrack AML/CTF Compliance Centre, reached from the matter | The Centre is InfoTrack’s | Whether the risk is acceptable and work may start |
| A firm-wide view of those risk results, on their description | The same Centre | The program, the officer, and the audit the firm can explain |
| Optional save of a completed order onto the matter, and an optional disbursement | A Smokeball setting, described in their help article | How the costs agreement talks about that cost |
| An AUSTRAC forms folder, and marketplace precedents, on the support note | Documents in the practice library | Approving the program. A precedent is not the decision |
Their connect article says Smokeball integrates with InfoTrack and does not develop or manage that tool. Questions about the Centre itself go to InfoTrack. What the Centre includes, on InfoTrack’s own public page, is what the InfoTrack AML Compliance Centre includes. This page does not restate that list.
What the tie-in does not decide
- The service. A will, a piece of advice, and a transfer are not the same work. The tie-in does not mark a matter as designated. The sorting aid is Table 6 designated services.
- The duty. AUSTRAC regulates the reporting entity. Software can store the step. It does not become the partner who signs the report.
- Verification of identity as the whole file. A licence photo can be one input. Customer due diligence is wider. That split is is AML just VOI?.
- A published client-pays price. InfoTrack describes the Centre as complimentary and says you pay for searches. The unit price is not on this page. The fee shape is InfoTrack Compliance Centre pricing.
If you are not staying inside Smokeball and InfoTrack
A firm that already lives in both products may want the check on the same matter screen. That is a reasonable workflow. It is not a finding that another check is unfit, and it is not a reason to leave a search tool you still use. InfoTrack AML pricing — the alternative asks whether you need the conveyancing search bundle at all. This page asks a narrower question: if the practice is not staying inside the Smokeball and InfoTrack pair, where does the customer check go?
On FreeAML the firm suite is A$0. There is no monthly AML seat. 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. Confirm the live amounts on FreeAML pricing. The product collects the evidence. It does not enrol the firm, approve the program, or decide that work may start. The neighbouring workflow for a legal practice is AML checks for lawyers. Re-check Smokeball and InfoTrack when you buy. Labels move. This page does not reproduce them.
