Overview

IdentityCheck makes client verification simple for accountants and bookkeepers. With AUSTRAC Tranche 2 reforms in Australia, plus AML rules in the UK and globally, firms must now verify and store client identity securely. Doing this manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and risky.

Our tool automates the process end to end:

  • Easy for clients – Send a branded email (and optional SMS), and your client completes their ID check in under 30 seconds.
  • No manual data entry – Results flow straight into Xero Practice Manager or your workflow, with no re-keying.
  • Audit-ready – Records stored securely for the required 7 years, supporting AU, UK, and global AML regulations.
  • Advanced screening – Optional checks for Politically Exposed Persons (PEP), sanctions, and adverse media.
  • Global coverage – Supports 230+ countries and 10,000+ document types.
  • Trusted security – GDPR-ready, SOC 2 compliant infrastructure, DHA approved, with AES-128 encryption and two-factor authentication.

Why accountants use IdentityCheck:

  • Stay compliant with AUSTRAC Tranche 2, UK AML rules, and other global obligations.
  • Reduce time spent chasing and processing client documents.
  • Improve client trust with a professional, branded experience.
  • Affordable, predictable pricing that scales with your firm.

IdentityCheck is used by firms in accounting, financial services, law, real estate, leasing, and education. Whether onboarding a new client, updating records, or preparing for an audit, you can be confident the compliance box is ticked across jurisdictions.

IdentityCheck + Xero

IdentityCheck integrates seamlessly with Xero Practice Manager (XPM) and other systems to remove manual steps from client onboarding.

How it works with Xero:

  1. Add a new client in XPM.
  2. Trigger an ID check with one click.
  3. The client receives a branded request by email or SMS.
  4. They complete the check in less than 30 seconds using their ID document and selfie.
  5. Results automatically update the XPM client record.

No more scanning, emailing, or chasing clients for paperwork. Everything is streamlined and secure.

Integration highlights:

  • Bi-directional sync – Verified client data updates in Xero.
  • Conditional workflows – Choose when checks are triggered (e.g. new clients, high-risk clients, corporate entities).
  • Audit support – Maintain a digital trail that satisfies AU, UK, and global AML/CTF programs.
  • Custom forms – Optional onboarding forms can be mapped to XPM fields.

Security and compliance:

  • Supports AML compliance in Australia, the UK, and globally.
  • Data encrypted in transit and at rest.
  • Images deleted after 45 days; records stored securely for 7 years.
  • GDPR, SOC 2, and CCPA compliant underlying infrastructure.
  • 40+ point security audit passed by SaaS platforms including Xero and HubSpot.

With IdentityCheck + Xero, your firm saves time, stays compliant worldwide, and delivers a smoother client experience.
