Our Mission

Why we exist

AML Shield was founded to help Australian businesses navigate the complex world of anti-money laundering compliance. With the expansion of AML/CTF obligations under Tranche 2, thousands of professionals need expert guidance and practical tools to meet their regulatory requirements.

We believe compliance shouldn't be a burden. Our mission is to make AML compliance accessible, affordable, understandable, and achievable for businesses of all sizes.

Our Values

What guides us

Integrity

We believe the AML/CTF regime can be a powerful force for good. Most Aussie businesses want to combat financial crime but understanding AML compliance can be very challenging. Small businesses (with fewer than 16 employees) can take advantage of AUSTRAC's Starter Kits. Our platform is simple, affordable and will arm you with the weapons you need to support AUSTRAC and its partner agencies.

Expertise

Our team brings decades of real-world experience in financial crime investigation and compliance. We know what works in practice.

Partnership

We work alongside our clients as partners, not just providers. Your success is our success, and we're with you every step of the way.
