MemberCheck

MemberCheck is one of Australia's longer-established screening providers — used by hundreds of accounting and law firms for AML/CTF screening since well before Tranche 2. Its longevity is a key reason firms with risk-averse procurement (banks, insurers) recognise the name.

Yes. MemberCheck publishes integrations with Xero, Microsoft 365 and a number of practice management platforms, plus a REST API for custom workflows.

For a sole practitioner or 2–3 person firm with low onboarding volume, yes. The Practice tier covers sanctions and PEP screening with a monthly check allowance — most small firms stay within it. Larger or higher-volume firms move to Business for adverse media and headroom.

Most Australian SMEs are live in 2–4 weeks. Larger or multi-entity setups can take 4–8 weeks. The provider typically offers a guided onboarding call, document templates, and a structured rollout plan.

Most providers will guide you through AUSTRAC enrolment but the legal registration is done by you as the reporting entity. Templates, walkthroughs and reviewed answers are usually included.

Ongoing obligations apply: continuous CDD, monitoring, suspicious matter reporting, training refreshes, and annual independent review. The provider's subscription typically covers all of this on an ongoing basis.

Most subscriptions are month-to-month or annual with a fair cancellation window. Your AML program documentation remains yours regardless. Confirm specific terms during your sales conversation.
