Step 1: Find the Client 

• Log in to AML Guardian and click Clients > Business from the left menu.  

• Find the trust or SMSF you want to verify. The Verification Status will show Not Started. 

Step 2: Click "Initiate KYB" 
On the client's row, click the Initiate KYB button. 

Step 3: Choose Who Pays 
A window will ask, "Who pays for this verification?" You will see the verification fee . Choose one: 

• Customer pays by card: your client is charged before verification starts. 
• Your organisation pays now by card: you pay immediately (useful when your allocation limit is reached). 

Then click Continue. 

Step 4: Choose How to Send the Invitation 
Select at least one option: 

• Email: sends the link to your client's email. 
• SMS: sends the link to your client's mobile. 
• Manual Share: gives you a link to share yourself. 

Then click Initiate KYB. 

Step 5: Copy and Share the KYB Link 
A "KYB Initiated" confirmation appears with a unique verification link. Click Copy Link or Share and send it to your client. Note the expiry date shown on screen, as the link only works until then. 
 

Step 6: Client Opens the Link 
Your client opens the link and sees who requested the verification and what's needed (Company Information and Company Documents). They tick "I agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy" and click Start Verification. 
 

Step 7: Client Confirms and Continues 

• Your client clicks Continue on the security notice. 

• Then click on Start verification. 

• Then click on Agree and continue to consent to data processing. 

Step 8: Client Enters Company Information (Step 1 of 2) 
Your client selects their Country, confirms the Company name, and enters their registration number. They click Save and continue. 
 

Tip: They can click Continue on phone to finish on their mobile instead. 

Step 9: Client Uploads the Trust Agreement (Step 2 of 2) 
For a Trust or SMSF, your client only needs to upload one document: the Trust Agreement. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, HEIC, WEBP or PDF (max 20 MB). Click Continue.

Step 10: Verification Complete 
Your client sees "Your profile has been verified", followed by a Verification Complete confirmation page. They can now close the window. 

Step 11: Check the Result in AML Guardian 

• Go back to Clients > Business. The trust or SMSF now shows Verified, Risk Rating, and Next Review month.  

• The client also moves from Unverified Clients to Verified Clients in the summary of cards at the top of the page.
