If you're impacted by the upcoming Tranche 2 AML changes, here's what we've built to help.
Content Snare's AML Features
Improved ID verification
We've rebuilt our ID verification, which is a big step up on how the previous feature worked.
Document verification checks that the client's ID is genuine, scanning for tampering or forgery across seven categories and pulling out the key details (name, date of birth, expiration date) for cross-referencing. Facial matching then compares the client's selfie against the photo on the ID and returns a confidence score. Liveness detection uses 3D facial mapping, skin texture analysis, and pixel-level tampering detection to confirm a real person is there, not a photo, mask, or deepfake. There's also an enhanced version that uses video with guided motion and voice challenges if you want stronger fraud prevention.
AML Screening
On top of that, you can run AML screening against 2,500+ global, regional, and local databases. The standard check covers sanctions, Level 1 PEPs, and watchlists. The extensive check adds Levels 2-4 PEPs (judges, military, civil servants), adverse media, and lists for organised crime, financial crime, and trafficking.
Right now screening runs once, at the point your client completes verification. Continuous screening is coming soon, so you'll be alerted when a client appears on a list after you've already onboarded them.
See how screening works in our documentation.
If you're already using Content Snare for ID, it's worth switching those fields from Stripe to ComplyCube now so you can get familiar before the July 2026 start date.
New Templates
Our Tranche 2 templates are already live. You can find them under Templates → Pages.
These are Pages you can drop into your existing onboarding requests, mapped to AUSTRAC Tranche 2 guidance so you don't have to build your question sets from scratch. They cover:
- Individual
- Trust
- Government Body
- Business (everything except the above)
Plus two internal-only templates:
- Risk assessment
- Periodic review
The internal templates live on the client file but your client never sees them. They give your team one place to record risk rating, rationale, and review notes, so nothing ends up scattered across spreadsheets and emails.
Drop them in as-is or tweak them to fit how your firm works.
Exporting
Every Content Snare request can already be exported as a neat package of the client's answers and uploaded files. Nothing new there.
What is new: because the screening results and internal risk assessment now live on the same client file, the export bundles everything together. You get the onboarding responses, the ID verification and screening results, and the risk assessment in one package, ready for your records or an audit.
Tranche 2 Navigator
This is a Q&A tool. Ask it anything about Tranche 2 and it answers with the actual source from AUSTRAC guidance and the legislation. We've been using it internally and love it.
Try it at navigator.contentsnare.com and feel free to share it on.
Informational Webinar
We ran an amazing informational webinar covering all the things you need to do to get ready. We were joined by Rob McKenzie to cover:
- What Tranche 2 AML actually means for accountants
- What is worth addressing now and what can safely wait
- How Content Snare will keep you compliant including a live run through
- How to prepare your team and processes between now and the July 2026 deadline.
New AML-only plan
Know someone who needs an AML screening tool?
We've launched a $1/month AML-only plan for people who aren't using Content Snare yet and just want to tackle AML screening. Screening is pay-per-credit, everything else is $1.
