# What does the KYC unit price include?

## Identity capture, document validity check, biometric and liveness, Sanctions/PEP/Adverse-media screening.

Everything required for AUSTRAC's reliable-and-independent-source standard, bundled into a single $15 (Professional / Enterprise) or $20 (Starter or End Customer paying) per-check fee. No hidden surcharges for biometrics, screening or document validity.

**What's covered in every KYC:**

- **Identity capture.** Driver's licence, passport or other supported document captured via the customer's phone (remote) or your office tablet (in-person). Document is parsed automatically and the data extracted.
- **Document validity check.** Real-time verification against the issuing authority via the **Document Verification Service (DVS)** for Australian documents, MRZ check for passports, and visa lookup via **VEVO (Visa Entitlement Verification Online)** for foreign nationals.
- **Biometric facial comparison.** The customer's live selfie is matched against the photo on the identity document.
- **Liveness detection.** Confirms the selfie is a real person in real time, not a printed photo or a video replay.
- **PEP screening.** Politically Exposed Persons - domestic and foreign - screened via Dow Jones.
- **Sanctions screening.** DFAT and other sanctions lists.
- **Adverse-media screening.** News and watchlist coverage for negative-press signals.
- **Online Fraud Indicators.** VPN / iCloud Private Relay detection, device-fingerprint risk indicators.
- **Customer questionnaire.** Configurable AML / source of funds and wealth questions presented as part of the flow.

**Speed.** The platform-side processing is around 8 seconds end-to-end. The customer-side time - capturing documents and completing the selfie / liveness - is typically 1–2 minutes.

**Outputs.** A signed-off verification record, the captured documents, screening results, and a clear pass / fail / review status. If anything triggers a review (PEP match, sanctions hit, low-confidence match), the Compliance Officer is alerted to escalate to **Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD)** - source-of-wealth, source-of-funds and additional evidence.

**Records retention** is automatic for 7 years on AWS Australia - AUSTRAC's required retention period.
