Verifications
Verify an SMSF
An SMSF is a $40 KYB check. Your client enters the fund name and ABN or ACN. If it is treated as a trust, you upload the deed.

There is no separate SMSF form. An SMSF is verified as a Company / Trust (KYB) check at $40. After payment, the rest of the check runs on the pages of our identity verification partner, Personr. If FreeAML treats the fund as a trust or SMSF, you then follow the same trust deed steps as any other trust.
