FrankieOne Unveils Scalable Compliance Platform Ahead of Major AML Reform

AUSTRALIA'S LEADING REGTECH HELPS BANKS, FINTECHS, AND DIGITAL ASSET PROVIDERS ADAPT TO AUSTRAC’S 2026 AML/CTF CHANGES 

Melbourne, Australia, 24 June 2025 – FrankieOne, the unified compliance platform trusted by global banks and fintechs, today announced the launch of its future-ready identity and fraud orchestration solution, just as sweeping changes to Australia’s anti-money laundering (AML) regime approach. 

With AUSTRAC’s updated AML/CTF obligations taking effect from March 2026, including new customer due diligence (CDD), monitoring, and governance requirements, FrankieOne offers regulated businesses a powerful way to adapt at speed without rebuilding from scratch. This includes the ability to seamlessly conduct Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) processes as compulsory for high-risk scenarios, ensuring businesses can gather additional information, verify or re-verify customer details, and perform more detailed transaction analysis to effectively manage complex ML/TF risks. 

“The pace of regulatory change is accelerating, and patchwork systems won’t keep up,” said Simon Costello, CEO of FrankieOne. “FrankieOne offers a scalable foundation, not just a tool, enabling compliance teams to simplify operations, reduce risk, and future-proof their stack.” 

One API. 350+ Vendors. Global Compliance Simplified. 

FrankieOne’s platform connects to over 350+ trusted identity, fraud, and AML data sources across 190+ countries, all through a single API - eliminating the need to have multiple contracts and integrations with multiple vendors. Unlike siloed tools, the orchestration layer provides a single customer view of all identity and fraud decisions and signals with customisation across risk, region, and customer type, giving businesses a unified real-time view of onboarding, fraud signals, and ongoing monitoring. 

This makes FrankieOne especially suited to meet AUSTRAC’s latest reforms, which call for: 

  • Risk-based CDD processes, with a clear mandate for robust Enhanced Customer Due Diligence (ECDD) to address higher-risk customer profiles and activities 

  • Enhanced oversight and governance 

  • Structured ongoing monitoring

  • Improved reporting and auditability 

Trusted by Industry Leaders 

Leading organisations including Westpac, Shopify, and PointsBet are already leveraging FrankieOne to scale faster while ensuring robust compliance. 

  • Westpac partnered with FrankieOne to streamline customer verification, improving onboarding speed and pass rates across siloed, fragmented business units. 

  • Shopify deployed automated global KYB to meet local obligations across multiple jurisdictions. 

  • PointsBet implemented real-time fraud detection using device signals and behavioural analytics at onboarding. 

“We experienced a substantial uplift in pass rates when we first went live, and the ease of integration has made FrankieOne our go to platform across the Westpac Group,” said Hayden Johnson, Westpac.
