Anti Money Laundering Platform & AML App - About Us

Our story: putting people first

New Zealand’s leading Anti-Money Laundering consultancy, AML Solutions, created AMLHUB in 2019 - a reliable anti-money laundering application that puts compliance officers first.

After performing over 1,000 audits, our experts discovered that people in charge of compliance were struggling to keep track of their clients and the demands of AML/CFT laws. With a lack of support and a growing task list, they needed smart, innovative technology, and so AMLHUB was born.
