About easyAML

A decade in the making.

It started in 2011 - with the identity-verification technology that venues, telcos, major corporations and government agencies already trust to confirm who someone really is. easyAML takes that proven engine and points it at one job: making Tranche 2 AML compliance genuinely simple for Australian business.

Why we exist

Compliance you can get through without a compliance team.

From 1 July 2026, tens of thousands of real estate agents, conveyancers, lawyers and accountants carry AML/CTF obligations for the first time - most without a compliance department, a spare hour, or a translator for the jargon.

easyAML is built for exactly those businesses. Automated risk assessments, KYC and KYB verification, and audit-ready reporting live in one place - so you can meet your obligations and get back to the work you actually do.

What easyAML delivers

Your whole AML obligation, handled end to end.

easyAML isn't a single tool you bolt on - it walks your business through every step of the AML/CTF lifecycle, from your first risk assessment to an audit-ready record AUSTRAC would be happy to see.

Our lineage

Built on a decade of trusted verification.

easyAML is powered by Scantek - the identity-verification platform we've been building and operating since 2011. Every link in that chain was independently checked by the people whose job is to say no. Here's how it became easyAML.

The engine room

Scantek is an ISO 27001-certified identity-verification provider trusted with national identity infrastructure - from the Department of Home Affairs DVS gateway to the ACIC police-checking service. easyAML is that same engine, re-pointed at Tranche 2.

2011
Scantek is founded
Identity verification built for the real world - starting in licensed venues, helping them confirm identity and keep patrons safe.
2013
Crown Casino adopts the technology
After a rigorous trial, Crown Melbourne selects Scantek - and the platform scales nationally across venues in multiple states.
2017
Certified to international standard
ISO 9001, 14001, 27001 and 45001 achieved and maintained - the security and quality backbone that underpins easyAML today.
2018 — 2021
Trusted with national infrastructure
Approved as a Department of Home Affairs DVS Gateway provider, licensed by the ACIC for police checks, and chosen by the WA Government to run the Banned Drinkers Register.
2025
easyAML launches
The same verification engine, re-built for one purpose: helping Australian businesses meet Tranche 2 AML/CTF obligations without the headache.
The technology behind it

A verification engine you can stand behind.

The same Scantek technology trusted with national identity infrastructure now does the heavy lifting inside easyAML.

Know who you're dealing with
Facial biometrics and liveness detection confirm a real, present person - not a photo, a screen or a deepfake.
Check against the source
As a government DVS gateway, we verify ID documents against the issuing databases - not just eyeball them.
Your data stays home
Encrypted and hosted in Australian data centres under ISO 27001-certified controls. Your records, protected to standard.
What we believe

Compliance shouldn't be sold through fear.

No scare tactics
The obligations are real and so are the penalties - but our job is to make them simple and achievable, not to frighten you into a contract.
Plain language
No jargon walls. If you can't understand your obligation after we've explained it, we haven't done our job.
We've sat where you sit
We build for the small business owner - because serving exactly those businesses is what we've done for more than a decade.
The person behind it

Why compliance is personal.

easyAML's founder, Ches Rafferty, learned the cost of getting compliance wrong the hard way - and spent the next two decades building the tools he wished he'd had. It's the reason we're so open about who we are and how we work.

"easyAML exists so that Australian businesses never have to learn that lesson the hard way."

— CHES RAFFERTY, FOUNDER & CEO
