Introducing Quick Checks

Sometimes you need one answer — is this ID genuine, is this person on a sanctions list, who really owns this company — without opening a full client record. Quick Checks in BPSi Verify does exactly that: pick a check, run it, and download a report for your file.

Important: a Quick Check is not customer due diligence (CDD) for AUSTRAC on its own. It's a building block for your own KYC/KYB process. No client record is created, and you decide how the result fits your file.

What you can check

Identity

• ID check: verify the details of an Australian-issued identity document (passport, driver licence or Medicare card) through the government document verification system, with your client's consent.
• ID check by link: send your client a secure link so they enter their own document details. You see the result when they finish.

Screening (each one stands alone)

• Sanctions (AML Lite): screens a person's name against sanctions lists.
• PEP screen: checks whether a person is a politically exposed person.
• Adverse media: searches for negative news about a person.

Company data

• ASIC company extract: the company's current or historical ASIC record: details, officeholders and shareholders, listed by the company's registered name, with ASIC's reference number for each extract.
• Ownership search: who ultimately owns the company, with any entities that need follow-up.

How it works

1. Open Quick Checks and choose a check.
2. Enter the details once. For company checks, enter the ACN and then choose what you want to know.
3. The token price is shown before you confirm. If a check can't be completed, you're not charged.
4. View the result on screen and download the PDF. Each report stands on its own, with the full detail on the page.
5. Every Quick Check is listed under Client Register → Quick Checks, so you can find it again.
