What is Custarra?
Custarra is a single place to record and manage everything you must do as a Tranche 2 reporting entity under the AML/CTF Act — your program, customer onboarding and due diligence, training, records and reporting. No more bouncing between spreadsheets, one-off forms and files scattered across shared drives: your whole obligation lives in one system.
How Custarra works
Customer due diligence, without the friction
One guided flow takes each customer from sign-up to verified — risk-assess first, run the checks their risk calls for, then apply the right controls. Custarra gives you the tools; the decisions stay yours.

no app · no signup
Onboarding form

ID check
same link · one sitting
Your client does the work — send them a secure link and they complete onboarding themselves, no forms, no back-and-forth. You get the record.
The checks, spelled out
Verifying identity is only the start of your CDD obligation. Custarra runs the full stack of automated checks in one guided flow — scaled to each customer's risk rating, with every result on record.
ID verification alone
2 of 6- Identity verification
- Biometric verification
Custarra
6 of 6- Identity verification Verify each customer electronically against trusted Australian data sources — in minutes, not days.
- Biometric verification Face-match a live selfie to photo ID when a customer's risk calls for stronger proof.
- Sanctions screening Screen against Australian and global sanctions lists, including the DFAT Consolidated List.
- PEP screening Flag politically exposed persons, whose public roles carry higher money-laundering risk.
- Adverse media screening Surface credible negative news tied to a customer — often the earliest signal, before any list catches up.
- KYB & beneficial owners Verify companies and trusts, and identify the people who ultimately own them.
Standalone ID-verification tools stop at proving who someone is. Customer due diligence under the AML/CTF Act asks more — screening, beneficial owners, and records that stand up to review.
The KYC and KYB checks are powered by the same verification technology that large financial institutions rely on.
