DBA AML provides outsourced AML/CTF compliance services for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 reporting entities. Our team becomes your compliance function — running the program, the operations, and the regulator engagement on your behalf.
One engagement covers program design, operations, training and regulator engagement — delivered by practitioners, not a self-service tool.
You engage DBA AML once. We become your compliance function — running the program, doing the work, and lodging reports on your behalf.
Practitioners running your AML/CTF function end-to-end. One engagement, one team, one accountable partner.
Whether you enrol individually or join the DBA AML AUSTRAC Reporting Group with us as Lead Entity — the work, the team, and the accountability stay the same.
Every hour your team spends on AML is an hour they're not serving clients, closing deals, or building your business. DBA AML absorbs the entire compliance function — process, technology, people, and regulator engagement — so your team can put their energy where it actually matters.
Stop pulling fee-earners and partners into KYC, EDD and SMR work. We handle the operations end-to-end.
Trained AML practitioners doing the work, with regulator-ready records produced on request.
One engagement letter, one scope, one team. No surprise add-ons, no per-seat licensing — the work either falls within scope or it doesn't.
Outsourcing is the core service. Reporting Group membership is offered as an optional efficiency layer — never a precondition to engaging us.
DBA AML executes your AML/CTF obligations on your behalf. You remain the reporting entity, retain your own program, and lodge reports under your own AUSTRAC enrolment.
Elect to join a formal Reporting Group with DBA AML as Lead Entity. Share program documentation, governance and Lead Entity coordination — without changing the underlying outsourcing service.
