easyAML Pricing FAQ - Overview

What KYC and KYB prices include, per-layer KYB billing, flat risk pricing, GST treatment, and the end-customer-pay option - with links to full articles.

A quick guide to how easyAML pricing works: what each KYC and KYB check includes, how corporate structures are billed, GST treatment, and who can pay. Each section links to the full article.

What does the KYC unit price include?

  • One flat fee per check - $15+GST on Professional and Enterprise, $20+GST on Starter or where the end customer pays. No surcharges for biometrics, screening or document checks.
  • Identity capture - driver's licence, passport or other supported document, remote or in-person.
  • Document validity - real-time DVS check for Australian documents, MRZ for passports, VEVO visa lookup for foreign nationals.
  • Biometrics - facial comparison against the document photo, plus liveness detection.
  • Screening - PEP (Dow Jones), sanctions (DFAT and other lists) and adverse media on every check.
  • Fraud indicators and questionnaire - VPN/device-risk detection and a configurable AML / source-of-funds questionnaire in the flow.
  • Records kept automatically - 7 years on AWS Australia, matching AUSTRAC's retention requirement.

What does the KYB unit price include?

  • Price per KYB - $35+GST on Professional and Enterprise, $40+GST on Starter.
  • Live ASIC verification (or foreign-registry equivalent) - entity name, ACN/ABN, status, registered office, directors, secretaries, shareholders and beneficial-holding flags, pulled direct from source.
  • Ownership unwrap - traces the chain through corporate layers until every line ends in a natural person, identifying the Ultimate Beneficial Owners AUSTRAC requires you to verify.
  • Trust handling - the unwrap pauses at trusts, partnerships and SMSFs and extracts trustees, appointor and beneficiary classes from the uploaded deed.
  • Screening on every controller - PEP, sanctions and adverse media, with everything time-stamped into your audit trail.
  • Offshore registers - most countries are standard Tier 1 cost; some offshore registers attract Tier 2 or Tier 3 pricing.

Is each entity in a corporate structure a separate KYB?

  • Yes - each unwrapped entity layer is billed as its own KYB, so cost reflects the depth of the structure.
  • Example - a single Pty Ltd is 1 KYB; a company owned by three holding companies is 4 KYBs (operating entity plus three holdings).
  • Trusts pause for documents - trust data isn't externally registered, so the unwrap stops at each trust layer for the deed.
  • People are KYCs - each natural person identified at the end of a chain is a separate KYC at the standard rate.

Are prices different for high-risk vs low-risk customers?

  • No - flat per-check pricing regardless of customer risk rating.
  • Why - ongoing monitoring, the part that genuinely varies by risk, is already included in the subscription; a risk surcharge would double-up.
  • One exception - Tier 2 / Tier 3 pricing on some offshore KYBs, which reflects register access costs, not risk.

Are easyAML prices inclusive of GST?

  • No - all prices are quoted exclusive of GST; 10% is added on the Australian invoice.
  • Credits are ex-GST too - the $220 monthly credit on Professional ($440 on Enterprise) covers $220 of KYC/KYB activity at listed prices, with GST added on the net usage - so the credit is worth slightly more than $220 inclusive of GST.

Can the end customer pay for their own KYC?

  • Yes - the person being verified can pay for their own KYC/VOI ($20 per check) by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, instead of the firm being billed.
  • No charge unless it completes - a hold is placed when the customer starts; failed or abandoned verifications release the hold without charging.
  • Flexible setup - set as the account default, or choose firm-pay vs end-customer-pay per transaction. A receipt can issue in the end client's name.
  • Best fit - suits high-volume real estate work; firm-pay usually suits legal and accounting matters.
  • KYB not yet supported - end-customer-pay currently applies to KYC only.
