Identity security solutions provider Entrust has expanded its identity verification solution in response to the introduction of Tranche 2 of Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing regime.
This milestone makes Veriff one of the first IDV providers globally to receive this certification, setting a new industry benchmark for accuracy and security.
Under Tranche 2 reforms, Australia’s AML/CTF regime will undergo its most significant expansion in nearly two decades. All reporting entities will need to strengthen identity verification and customer due diligence processes. Entrust Identity Verification unifies Australia DVS checks, biometrics, and AI‑driven fraud controls for all‑in‑one Australia-ready identity verification.

An unusual case was due to be heard in the High Court in April 2026. It was unusual because, while there have been several data protection claims against know-your-client (KYC) databases, none had previously made it anywhere near trial.
A court approved a settlement Monday between Refinitiv and two grandchildren of Serbian politicians over a claim that they were unlawfully identified as relatives of politically exposed people, before what would have been the first trial to consider data protection law and a know-your-client database.
