About WatchEye

What this product actually does.

WatchEye combines biometric ID verification with ongoing monitoring of customers against sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists.

FAQ

WatchEye — common questions.

What does 'continuous monitoring' actually do?

WatchEye re-screens your existing customer base daily against updated sanctions, PEP and adverse media lists. If a customer becomes a new match — for example, gets added to a sanctions list — you receive a webhook alert with the match detail and a recommended action.

Do I need a full AML platform to use WatchEye?

No. WatchEye is designed to slot in alongside whatever you use for program documentation and reporting. Many firms run WatchEye for verification and ongoing monitoring while keeping their Part A & B program in a lighter-touch tool or in document form.

How does WatchEye's risk scoring work?

Each customer is assigned a configurable risk score based on identity verification result, screening matches, and risk attributes you define. The score is consumable from your CRM or system of record so your team sees it in their existing workflow.

How long does onboarding take?

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.

Do they handle AUSTRAC enrolment for me?

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.

What happens after Tranche 2 commenced on 1 July 2026?

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.

Can I cancel if it's not the right fit?

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.
