Our Story

Built to Fight Financial Crime
in Australia and Beyond

Sentinel FinCrime was founded with one mission: give compliance teams the intelligence they need to detect, prevent, and report financial crime — without the complexity and cost of enterprise legacy systems.

Mission

Compliance that works for the modern financial system

Financial crime costs the global economy trillions of dollars every year. In Australia alone, AUSTRAC-regulated entities face growing obligations — from AML/CTF programme requirements to digital currency reporting under the new AML/CTF Act amendments.

We built Sentinel FinCrime so that law firms, remittance providers, fintechs, banks, and crypto exchanges can meet those obligations with confidence — using intelligent automation, explainable risk scores, and audit-ready reporting.

The Problem

Legacy tools weren’t built for today’s obligations

Most compliance software was designed for large banks in the 2000s. Mid-market entities are left choosing between overbuilt enterprise systems and under-powered spreadsheets.

⚠️

Regulatory pressure is intensifying

AUSTRAC’s 2024 AML/CTF Act reforms expand obligations to new sectors including lawyers, accountants, and real estate agents. Compliance gaps carry serious penalties.

🔗

Financial crime is increasingly sophisticated

Money laundering typologies now span crypto wallets, shell companies, and trade-based manipulation. Point solutions can’t see the full picture.

📋

Manual processes create audit risk

Spreadsheet-driven compliance produces inconsistent outcomes, missed alerts, and reporting delays — all visible to regulators during audits.

Our Platform

Three integrated modules. One compliance platform.

Each module works standalone or as part of an integrated workflow that covers the full financial crime compliance lifecycle.

AML Shield Pro

Real-time transaction monitoring, typology detection, automated AUSTRAC SMR and TTR reporting.

Sanctions IQ

Multi-list entity screening across OFAC, UN, EU, DFAT, HMT, and AUSTRAC watchlists with beneficial ownership graph.

KYC Workstation

CDD and EDD workflows with tiered risk scoring, document verification, and PEP/sanctions integration.

What We Stand For

Principles that guide every product decision

Explainability

Every risk score includes the factors that drove it. Your compliance team — and your regulators — can always see why.

Security First

End-to-end encryption, row-level access controls, and an immutable audit trail on every action taken in the platform.

AUSTRAC Alignment

Built from the ground up around Australian AML/CTF obligations. Every report format, every typology, every rule.

Proportionality

Designed for mid-market entities. No seat minimums, no professional services engagements, no six-month implementations.

Founded in Australia
“Compliance shouldn’t be a burden reserved for organisations that can afford a team of lawyers. We built Sentinel FinCrime so every reporting entity — from a solo conveyancer to a fast-growing exchange — can operate with the same confidence as a top-tier bank.”
