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.
