// Business Verification

Know Your Business.
Verify Any AU or NZ Entity.

From 1 July 2026, businesses that provide certain designated services may have AML/CTF obligations under Australia's expanded framework. Where initial customer due diligence is required, firms need a consistent way to verify entity identity, review relevant ownership and control information, and retain evidence of their decisions.

// Who Needs Business Verification

Industries That Verify Business Identity

From 1 July 2026, businesses providing certain designated services may have AML/CTF obligations under Australia's expanded framework. This can include businesses in legal, accounting, conveyancing, real estate and trust or company services, depending on the services they provide.

Where customer due diligence is required, firms need a practical way to verify business identity, review relevant ownership and control information, record screening activity, and retain evidence of their decisions.

Osapher supports this business-client verification and evidence-workflow layer. It does not replace a firm's AML/CTF program, risk assessment, legal obligations or officer judgment.
