Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance

SettlePlace is committed to maintaining the highest standards of financial integrity and regulatory compliance. As an online platform facilitating high-value asset transactions, we conduct comprehensive Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks to protect our community, prevent financial crimes, and comply with Australian regulatory requirements.

Why We Conduct AML Checks

  • Regulatory Compliance: Australian financial regulations require platforms to monitor and report suspicious activities.
  • Prevent Financial Crime: AML checks help detect and prevent money laundering, terrorism financing, and fraud.
  • Protect Our Community: Thorough screening ensures all participants are legitimate and trustworthy.
  • Secure Transactions: Verification reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions and protects buyer and seller funds.

What AML Checks Include

  • Identity Verification: Government-issued ID verification using Stripe Identity
  • Source of Funds Verification: Documentation of where transaction funds originate
  • PEP Screening: Checks for politically exposed persons and sanctioned individuals
  • Sanctions Screening: Verification against international sanctions lists
  • Transaction Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring of transaction patterns for unusual activity

Your Privacy: All personal information collected for AML compliance is handled securely and in accordance with Australian privacy laws. Your data is never shared with third parties without your consent, except as required by law.

Enterprise-Grade Security with Stripe

SettlePlace leverages Stripe's industry-leading payment infrastructure to ensure the highest level of security and reliability for all transactions on our platform.

Secure Payment Processing

All payments are processed through Stripe's PCI-DSS Level 1 certified platform—the highest level of security certification available in the payments industry. Your funds are held in segregated Stripe holding accounts with bank-level encryption, ensuring complete protection throughout the settlement process. Stripe's advanced fraud detection systems monitor every transaction in real-time, providing an additional layer of security for both buyers and sellers.

Identity Verification

SettlePlace utilizes Stripe Identity for advanced identity verification. This enterprise-grade solution employs machine learning and biometric technology to verify government-issued IDs and match them with live selfies. Stripe's verification system checks for document authenticity, detects tampering, and validates identity information against global databases—all in real-time. This ensures that every user on our platform is verified to the highest standard, building trust and preventing fraud across all transactions.
