Powered byAcceleon Verify and ASICConfirm that a person is who they say they are, and that a business is what it claims to be, using trusted Australian data. Match phone and email to the name in real time for KYC, and verify companies, directors and beneficial owners against ASIC for KYB.
The problem
Names, addresses and dates of birth are easy to obtain and easy to fake. Under new AML and CTF obligations, you now have to prove you checked, for both the people and the businesses you deal with.
Reforms extend AML and CTF obligations to lawyers, accountants and real estate agents. KYC and beneficial ownership checks are now a legal requirement, not a nice to have.
A stolen or synthetic identity can pass a paper check. You need to confirm that the phone and email actually belong to the named person.
Company data is fragmented across registers, and manual ASIC lookups are slow, cumbersome and easy to record inconsistently.
Working out who really controls an entity, and every company a director is connected to, is slow, manual and error prone.
How it works
KYC confirms the individual by matching their contact points to the name. KYB confirms the entity against ASIC and the Australian Business Register. Both run on the same trusted Australian data.

Verify API integrates into your onboarding and returns a result instantly, so checks happen at the point of decision.
Leading parsing, matching and scoring technology returns a confidence level, not just a yes or no, so you can set your own thresholds.
Aliases, nicknames and misspellings are resolved automatically, reducing false rejections of genuine customers.
Direct, authorised access to ASIC and ABR data, including extracts that are not available to the public.
Company and director records enriched with current contact details, so you can reach the people behind the entity.
Every check produces a consistent, defensible record you can present to AUSTRAC and your auditors.
Tranche 2
Australia's AML and CTF reforms bring tens of thousands of new businesses into scope. The organisations that build verification into onboarding now will meet the deadline calmly, rather than scrambling later.
Lawyers, accountants, conveyancers, real estate agents and dealers in precious assets are now designated reporting entities with KYC and KYB duties.
You need to identify and verify the people who ultimately own or control the businesses you act for, not just the entity on the paperwork.
Verification is not a one time event. Acceleon supports repeat and batch checks so records stay current as circumstances change.
Combine person and business verification through a single Approved Information Broker, rather than stitching together offshore point solutions.
