What compana does

Compana Pty Ltd is an Australian SaaS company building an end-to-end AML/CTF compliance platform for small and medium-sized businesses. The platform comprises four integrated modules — Document Builder (policy templates with acceptance tracking), Risk Register (pre-built ML/TF risk scenarios with suggested control mapping), Client Verification (identity and UBO verification via government-issued documents, biometrics, and company registry data), and Global Watchlist Screening (real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening). It is purpose-built for Australian regulatory obligations under the AUSTRAC AML/CTF Act, ARNECC, and the Australian Privacy Principles, and integrates with Australian Government systems including the Document Verification Service (DVS), the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC), and Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO). Customer data is hosted on encrypted cloud infrastructure in Sydney.

The company targets eight regulated SMB verticals — lawyers, conveyancers, real estate professionals, accountants, mortgage and finance brokers, financial advisers, insurance brokers, and non-bank lenders — including both entities just starting an AML program and incumbents seeking to import and centralize existing policies. The go-to-market motion is product-led and self-serve: customers create an account, select a plan, and configure their program in a claimed two-minute flow without a sales call, with a co-design partner program opening in May 2026 and general waitlist access in June 2026. Pricing tiers are referenced but not publicly disclosed.

Compana is registered as an Australian proprietary limited company (Compana Pty Ltd), is an APP entity under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and is privately held with no disclosed parent, investor, or funding history in the available data. No management team, headcount, or revenue figures are provided.

Core offering

Compana is an Australian AML/CTF compliance software platform that helps regulated small and medium-sized businesses meet their anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations. The product combines four core modules — a Document Builder for policies, a Risk Register for ongoing risk management, Client Verification for KYC identity checks, and Global Watchlist Screening for sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening — into a single subscription-based SaaS platform.

Product overview

Compana is a unified AML/CTF compliance platform for small and medium-sized businesses, comprising four integrated modules: Document Builder for policy creation with templates and acceptance tracking; Risk Register for tracking and managing risks with pre-built scenarios and suggested controls; Client Verification for identity verification of individuals and businesses including UBOs; and Global Watchlist Screening for real-time sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening. The platform is designed to work individually or together to help businesses meet AUSTRAC, ARNECC, and Australian Privacy Principles obligations.
