PEXA Clear brings clarity to the complexity of AML/CTF compliance, to help your business transition with ease. 

PEXA Clear

PEXA Clear helps you focus on what matters

PEXA Clear helps real estate agents and conveyancers get on with business by providing seamless, intuitive AML & CTF compliance checks during property transactions. Our advanced beneficiary ID and funding verification processes go beyond basic info matching to unlock smarter client insights, without slowing you down. You can keep moving with confidence knowing your AML checks are compliant, accurate and completed fast.

1. Verify identity

Captures and verifies your client’s identity, usually via a selfie matched to their uploaded government-issued ID.

2. Know Your Client (or Business)

Confirms your client’s government issued ID exists using Australian 2+2 standards (2 pieces of information from 2 independent data sources).

3. Screening

Cross-references against local and international data sources to help detect potential connections to criminal activity.

4. Identify risk

Uses the collected client and property information to assess the overall risk level of the transaction and shows the reason for the rating.

5. Resolve risk (guided next steps)

When a risk is identified, you’re guided through actions to mitigate it, for example what to request or document, and when to consider escalation steps including submitting a Suspicious Matter Report (SMR).

6. Reporting & audit

Captures checks, evidence and why decisions were made, helping support annual and ad-hoc AUSTRAC reporting and giving you a clear audit trail if you ever need it.

What you get at the end of each check
