How APLYiD increased account creation by 406% through quicker onboarding
In Australia, AML and KYC compliance is a legal requirement under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006. But compliance doesn’t need to slow down business growth or create friction for your clients.
APLYiD gives you the tools to stay compliant with AUSTRAC while offering a seamless onboarding experience that customers actually enjoy.
That’s why Convera's (Western Union Business) National Sales Manager reported a 406% increase in account creation after switching to APLYiD. By streamlining AML checks and removing onboarding bottlenecks, we help Australian businesses grow faster while staying fully compliant.
The challenge for Australian businesses
Law firms and real estate agencies across Australia face the same challenge: balancing strict AML obligations with the need to bring on new clients quickly.
Paper-heavy processes, outdated systems, and manual checks frustrate customers, drive drop-offs, and create extra admin for your team. In today’s fast-moving market, slow onboarding can mean lost revenue.
How APLYiD solves it
APLYiD is purpose-built for Australian compliance. Every verification aligns with AUSTRAC regulations and the AML/CTF Act, giving you confidence that every check is both audit-ready and reliable.
Our biometric verification protects against fraud while increasing conversion rates. With advanced liveness detection, facial matching, and document verification, we connect directly to trusted Australian ID sources such as Passports and Driver Licences, alongside global databases.
The customer experience is just as important. Clients complete their verification in under 90 seconds on their smartphone, with no app downloads or clunky steps, just a smooth, branded flow that keeps them moving forward.
And because everything sits in one secure platform, you can manage onboarding, verification, sanctions and PEP screening, and client risk ratings all in one place.
Why it works in Australia
With APLYiD, more genuine customers make it through onboarding successfully. Thanks to our 94% first-time pass rate, fewer clients are lost during verification.
Paperwork is reduced dramatically, with up to 70% less manual documentation required. This speeds up internal processes while creating a better client experience.
Revenue comes in faster too. Instead of waiting days for checks to clear, clients are verified in minutes, so you can move from interest to signed-up customer almost instantly.
The branded, user-friendly experience builds trust from the very first interaction. Behind the scenes, you can rest easy knowing you’re meeting AUSTRAC’s obligations while fraud risk is reduced by 99.9%.
