What is AUSTRAC Online?
AUSTRAC has created a new internet-based system called AUSTRAC Online. This system will run in conjunction with AUSTRAC's existing electronic reporting system, EDDSWeb.
AUSTRAC Online is designed to assist businesses with their regulatory and reporting obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) and the Financial Transaction Reports Act 1988 (FTR Act).
AUSTRAC Online aims to:
- reduce the regulatory burden on industry through less paperwork and faster submission of transaction reports
- assist AUSTRAC to support industry by better understanding the regulated population
- enable regulated businesses to view and maintain their own information as held by AUSTRAC
- provide a secure system enabling the protection of confidential information
- allow for electronic submission of the AML/CTF compliance report.
Features included in the initial release of AUSTRAC Online will:
- streamline (automate) the introduction of new businesses, known as 'reporting entities', to AUSTRAC
- provide businesses with a tailored AML/CTF compliance report based on their business type or industry sector and the designated services they provide
- allow providers of designated remittance services to register, update their registered details or request removal from the register
- provide links to e-learning and AML/CTF-related news.
Who can use AUSTRAC Online?
AUSTRAC Online is available to all businesses with AML/CTF Act and/or FTR Act obligations. For further information about AUSTRAC Online, refer to AUSTRAC's brochure Getting started with AUSTRAC Online. For help regarding AUSTRAC Online, or your obligations under the AML/CTF and FTR Acts, contact the AUSTRAC Help Desk at help_desk@austrac.gov.au or phone 1300 021 037 (a local call within Australia).
