Common questions
How much does AML/CTF compliance cost in Australia?
For a small firm, AML Mate starts at $49/month (Essentials), around $588 per year, with identity verifications included and no lock-in. A traditional AML/CTF consultant typically charges $3,000 to $8,000 per year. Your exact cost depends on how many clients you verify each month and your team size.
What drives the cost of AML compliance software?
The two drivers are your subscription tier (which scales with team size and client volume) and identity verifications. On AML Mate, PEP and sanctions screening is included on every paid plan, so only identity verifications beyond your plan’s included allowance add a per-check cost.
Is AML Mate cheaper than a compliance consultant?
For most small and mid-sized firms, yes. A consultant usually charges a one-off setup plus ongoing fees totalling several thousand dollars a year. AML Mate is a low monthly subscription that covers the program, CDD, screening, reporting and training in one place.
