Why jewellers & precious metal dealers need AML software

From 1 July 2026, dealers in precious metals, stones and products are reporting entities

Under the amended AML/CTF Act 2006 and the AUSTRAC Tranche 2 reforms, Australian businesses that buy or sell precious metals, stones or products provide a designated service when specific conditions are met. From 1 July 2026 you must enrol with AUSTRAC, run a written AML/CTF program, screen customers against the DFAT sanctions list, lodge suspicious matter reports, and keep records for 7 years.

The trigger is specific — AUSTRAC states the designated service applies when the transaction is valued at $10,000 or greater and involves a single payment (or linked payments) of physical currency or virtual assets. If the purchase or sale is paid entirely by debit or credit card or bank transfer, the business is not providing a designated service.

AMLTranche handles the threshold logic, the currency constraint, and the CDD workflow automatically — so a jeweller or bullion dealer doesn't need to eyeball every transaction for whether AUSTRAC rules apply. Bullion dealers are already a Tranche 1 reporting entity category; Tranche 2 brings in a broader set of DPMSPs (dealers in precious metals, stones and products) from 1 July 2026.

AUSTRAC for jewellers & bullion dealers

Your six AUSTRAC obligations as a jeweller or precious-metal dealer

All six obligations are set out in AUSTRAC's public guidance for dealers in precious metals, stones and products. AMLTranche delivers the systems you need to meet each one — mapped to the AUSTRAC Jeweller Program Starter Kit.

1Enrol with AUSTRAC

Register as a reporting entity through AUSTRAC Online. Enrolment opens 31 March 2026; deadline 29 July 2026.

2AML/CTF program

A written, risk-based AML/CTF program with your ML/TF risk assessment, policies, procedures and controls. Appoint a fit-and-proper compliance officer.

3Customer due diligence

Conduct CDD on the client on whose behalf you act (per the AUSTRAC Conveyancer Program Starter Kit) before providing the designated service.

4Sanctions & PEP screening

Screen every client against the DFAT Consolidated List and PEP databases — and re-screen on list updates.

5Suspicious matter reports

Lodge an SMR with AUSTRAC when you form a suspicion on reasonable grounds. Tipping off a customer is a criminal offence under section 123 of the Act.

67-year record keeping

Retain CDD records, screening results and compliance documents for 7 years per AUSTRAC record-keeping guidance.

The AML platform for jewellers

Built for over-the-counter sales, bullion transactions and the $10,000 threshold

Jewellers and bullion dealers need compliance that flags when a transaction crosses the AUSTRAC threshold and triggers CDD — and equally, doesn't waste staff time on transactions that don't. AMLTranche automates this logic.

$10,000 threshold logic

Automatic flagging of single or linked transactions at or above $10,000 in physical currency or virtual assets. Card or bank-transfer-only transactions are correctly identified as outside scope.

Biometric ID verification

Selfie plus document capture at the point of sale. Matches Australian driver licence or passport via secure IDV providers.

DFAT sanctions & PEP screening

Every customer on a threshold-crossing transaction is screened against the DFAT Consolidated List and PEP databases.

AUSTRAC Jeweller Starter Kit mapping

Program generator follows the AUSTRAC Jeweller Program Starter Kit structure. Policies, dealing-with-clients examples, document library.

Precious products coverage

Handles jewellery, watches, items of personal adornment, and goldsmith's/silversmith's wares — per AUSTRAC's definitions.

Bullion-specific workflow

For bullion dealers already regulated under Tranche 1, the platform covers the combined obligations and avoids duplication.

SMR workflow with tipping-off controls

Common questions

What is the best AML software for jewellers in Australia?+
AMLTranche is purpose-built AML software for Australian jewellers, bullion dealers and dealers in precious metals, stones and products. It covers every AUSTRAC Tranche 2 obligation — threshold-triggered CDD above $10,000, DFAT sanctions screening, PEP screening, AML/CTF program generation (mapped to the AUSTRAC Jeweller Program Starter Kit), SMR workflows, and 7-year audit trails. Data hosted in Australia (AWS Sydney).
When does a jeweller actually have AML obligations?+
Per AUSTRAC: you provide a designated service when the transaction is valued at $10,000 or greater AND involves a single payment (or linked payments) of physical currency or virtual assets. If the customer pays entirely by debit card, credit card or bank transfer, the business is NOT providing a designated service.
Do bullion dealers need to do this too?+
Yes. Bullion dealers are long-standing Tranche 1 reporting entities under the AML/CTF Act. The Tranche 2 reforms also bring broader dealers in precious metals, stones and products into scope. AMLTranche covers both in a single platform.
What counts as a precious product?+
Per AUSTRAC: items containing or attached to precious metals or stones — including jewellery, watches, other items of personal adornment, and goldsmith's and silversmith's wares (for example, tableware, trophies, goblets, ornamental items, articles of personal, household, office or religious use).
Does AUSTRAC have a Starter Kit for jewellers?+
Yes. AUSTRAC has published a Jeweller Program Starter Kit. AMLTranche's program generator is mapped to its structure.
How much does AML software cost for a jewellery business?+
AMLTranche starts at $59/month + GST on the Solo plan. Growth ($149/mo) and Scale ($299/mo) plans cover multi-location jewellers and bullion dealers. Annual billing saves 17%.
What happens if I don't comply with AUSTRAC?+
AUSTRAC can apply for civil penalty orders from the Federal Court — up to 100,000 penalty units for the most serious contraventions, per AUSTRAC. The AML/CTF Act also contains specific criminal offences (for example, tipping off under section 123: imprisonment for 2 years or 120 penalty units, or both). See AUSTRAC's Consequences of not complying.
