# 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.
