Is there an additional charge for ongoing monitoring?
No, ongoing monitoring is included in every subscription tier and runs continuously for 2 years, covering PEP and sanctions re-screening, ASIC change monitoring and risk re-rating.
Ongoing monitoring is included in every subscription tier (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) and runs continuously in the background for 2 years - there's no per-event or per-customer fee.
What "always on" covers at no extra cost:
- PEP, sanctions and adverse-media re-screening for every existing customer, on a cadence tied to their risk rating (low risk annually, medium 6-monthly, high quarterly; transactional sectors re-screen on each new transaction).
- ASIC change monitoring for Australian companies in your customer base - directors, shareholders, entity status.
- Transaction-pattern monitoring for unusual volume, frequency or material changes.
- Risk-profile alerts when a customer's behaviour drifts from their baseline.
This contrasts with some competitor models that charge per re-screen or per ongoing monitoring event. easyAML's view is that ongoing monitoring is a regulatory obligation, not an upsell - building it into the subscription removes the disincentive to monitor thoroughly. The only charge is if due a detected you need to reverify a KYC or KYB in which case you would pay at your standard KYC/KYB fees.
See AUSTRAC's Overview of Ongoing customer due diligence page for the ongoing monitoring framework.
