RegTechs are technology service providers who support businesses to comply with their anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations using new and innovative technology.
We recognise that RegTechs play an important role in helping reporting entities meet their AML/CTF obligations.
RegTechs have the potential to improve AML/CTF compliance outcomes, reduce compliance costs for reporting entities, and strengthen how known harms are addressed and emerging risks identified.
We strongly encourage RegTechs to subscribe to AUSTRAC’s quarterly newsletter InBrief to keep up to date with any developments and be among the first to hear about future events and engagement opportunities.

We recommend you read our guidance on outsourcing. It explains how reporting entities can manage risks when outsourcing their AML/CTF functions.
The following fact sheets provide more information for those thinking of using a RegTech business.
This guidance sets out how we interpret certain Australian legislation, along with associated Rules and regulations. Australian courts are ultimately responsible for interpreting these laws and determining if any provisions of these laws are contravened.
The examples and scenarios in this guidance are meant to help explain our interpretation of these laws. They’re not exhaustive or meant to cover every possible scenario.
This guidance provides general information and isn't a substitute for legal advice. This guidance avoids legal language wherever possible and it might include generalisations about the application of the law. Some provisions of the law referred to have exceptions or important qualifications. In most cases your particular circumstances must be taken into account when determining how the law applies to you.
